Golden Age of the J-Class in the America's Cup
Newport
6pm
The Sailing Museum, 365 Thames Street. Relive the excitement and glamour of one of the most exhilarating periods in America's Cup history—the J-Boat Era. We'll be joined by a group of modern-day J-Class sailors who, with a little prompting from Hall of Famer Gary Jobson, will share their experiences on board these mighty racing monsters! A combination of vintage and current video will play on the big screens as we kick off the sailing season. Includes reception with open bar and passed hors d'oeuvres. $45; reservations required.
