Helly Hansen Sailing World Regatta Series –  Annapolis

May 3-5, 2024  •  Hosted by the Annapolis Yacht Club

Annapolis Speaker Series – Charlie Enright

Join us at the Annapolis Yacht Club Sailing Center on Thursday, May 2 at 7pmET as Sailing World’s Dave Reed goes one-on-one with Charlie Enright for a fun and freewheeling conversation about the fulfillment of ocean racing, technology at the top of the sport, and the fundamentals of winning—on and off the water.

Enright, recent recipient of the Rolex Yachtsman of the Year award, led the first American team to win the grueling high-performance Ocean Race while being followed by a global audience of more than 52 billion. Come listen first hand to his story.
