⚓️ Part 1: The CEO Corner with Charlie Enright
Fresh off his first six months as CEO of US Sailing, Charlie Enright joins us to talk about his whirlwind tour of the U.S. sailing scene.

On the Road: From the high-energy Blue Chip Regatta in Wisconsin to the inspiring USOPC Assembly in Salt Lake City as we look toward LA28.

Strategic Vision: Charlie gives us an inside look at the new US Sailing Strategic Plan (launching this November!) and his "myopic" focus on making sure US Sailing does the most important things exceptionally well.

The "Stoke" Award: A recap of the Archipelago Rally, where Charlie’s own kids took home the hardware!

🌟 Part 2: The Original "Bow Chick" – Martha Parker
We are honored to welcome Martha Parker, founder of Team 1 Newport, to share stories from her incredible 40-year career.

Breaking Glass Ceilings: Martha recalls being the first woman to win prize money in sailing and her days doing bow for America’s Cup legends.

Survival & Success: A raw look at the early days of Team 1 Newport—starting on a second floor with no budget, surviving "trial by fire" management, and the mentors who helped her turn a small shop into a 40-year legacy.

The Mantra: "If you told me I couldn't do something, I'd dig my heels in and prove you wrong."
