So many great memories of sailing in Newport, Narrangansett Bay and paties at Harbor Court. Miss it bigly 🙁
Read MoreTeam Shosholoza is the first African crew to participate in the America’s Cup in its more than 150 years of history. It embodies the new optimism in the land of the Cape of Good Hope. The motto about the youngest skipper of the America`s Cup, Mark Sadler, is: we can conquer the world with enthusiasm, passion, and team spirit! The yachtsmen, many of whom come from South Africa, represent South Africa's cultural variety, and they are determined to present their home country as a modern, dynamic, and exciting country that can keep up with the best sailors when it comes to ability and technical competence. Shosholoza, the name of the team, comes from Zulu, the language of the Zulu people and is the title of a song with a long tradition. For example, it was sung by mineworkers in South Africa who had to do hard physical labor. Now, it is part of the entire South African culture and is also sung by soccer and rugby fans all over the country. Shosholoza means "looking confidently ahead" or "rolling up your sleeves" - the perfect motto for a young America's Cup team.
