Meet the Force at GGYC
Teams for the Red Bull Youth America’s Cup — sailed in AC45s — are training hard for the September 1-4 regatta. The American Youth Sailing Force, San Francisco’s hometown team, will answer questions and explain their plans for winning the event at a Mixer & Auction at Golden Gate YC on this Friday, June 21. The evening kicks off at 6:30 p.m. with an open bar, hors d’oeurves and a silent auction. Olympic medalist and AC vet Bob Billingham will give a CupDate on the Louis Vuitton, then the Force will take over from there. Tickets are $75 ($85 at the door) and can be ordered at forceggyc.eventbrite.com. Email for more info or to make a donation to AYSF.
In the meantime, check out the video below detailing their training regimen. A delightful cross between an Ironman competition, a Monkees video and a Chippendales show, the ladies might especially appreciate it.
