Happy Tuesday! The talk of snow has us dreaming of sunshine and sailing! #NewportRI

I heard it was snowing and I didn’t believe it.

That’s Columbia, first defender of the America’s Cup in the 12 Meter class. Columbia was built in 1958. I remember racing against Newsboy (originally Easterner) which was one of the three other US 12’s that Columbia defeated for the right to defend the Cup.

Nice to know Columbia is still sailing.
