But over the past 153 years, the teams have been predominantly filled with male crews with opportunities few and far between for female sailors to compete. In a move to change that, the organizers of the 37th America\u2019s Cup have opened the door to the world\u2019s best female sailors with the inaugural Puig Woman\u2019s America\u2019s Cup, a regatta to be sailed in the run up to New Zealand\u2019s defense later on this fall in Barcelona. Late last year, our guest Sara Stone, was announced as a member of the first NYYC American Magic Woman\u2019s team but there has been little time to celebrate because Sara has been keeping busy as a new member the US SailGP team and crewing with the Quantum Racing Team in the highly competitive TP52 Series. We catch up with Sara to talk about her sailing career, what it means to sail into the history books and what\u2019s next.
