The lineup of speakers was great, providing deep insights into both the challenges and successes currently shaping the sailing industry. The networking and social opportunities allowed for meaningful conversations and connections with fellow professionals. Of course, the regatta itself was competitive yet enjoyable, offering a perfect blend of sport and camaraderie. Overall, I’m already looking forward to SAIC 2025 in Annapolis. If it’s anything like this year, it’s sure to be an unmissable event!”
