Lift Off

Five months ago, it began with a direct goal stated in a simple way: Win the Worlds. Today, we begin our journey to make good on that vision. For the last two years, Argo has competed against teams from the US and around the world at venues all across the eastern seaboard from Newport, RI, to Key West, FL. We've seen teams that hail from Germany, Great Britain, Canada, Monaco, and Italy -- teams that have raced swiftly and smartly despite the disruptive unfamiliarity of competition in a foreign land. Today, we become one of those teams. Today, we journey to Sardinia secure in our dedication to the boat and to each other and with the calm resolve of a band of sailors that has been tested together in the past. Today, we journey to Sardinia to win.

Wheels up in 18 hours. Watch out everyone. We're going to bring the heat.
