When we stepped aboard an 84-foot racing yacht, Metolius, with our partners from the Warrior Sailing Foundation. We knew we had started something special.This collaborative event offered us a unique opportunity to bring a community of Florida based wounded Special Operations veterans, a group of avid sailors to train and race in a historic yacht race from St petersburg, FL to Havana, Cuba. Using sailing as a platform, we aim to provide physical, mental and emotional therapy while tapping into the veterans’ pension for teamwork and natural competitive drive.
