The America's Cup Sailing Experience on San Francisco Bay. Experience 2.5 hours of speed and adrenaline on San Francisco Bay aboard USA 76. ACsailingSF was launched in 2011 by Brad and Karen Webb to provide guests with the ultimate sailing experience.
Consistent winds, mild year-round temperatures, and spectacular scenery make San Francisco Bay one of the most iconic places in the world to sail. Many of the world’s greatest sailors and several America’s Cup Teams have been launched from these waters. San Francisco’s entry for the 31st America’s Cup in 2003 was the yacht patriotically named USA 76 with Brad Webb sailing in the bowman position. A

Putting the boat to bed after a great sail makes for a good nights rest, but walking away and realizing the boom should be a tad bit higher…#nightmares

This week passed without much fanfare at ACsailingSF, but last Sunday marked the 10th anniversary of our first USA 76 charter. Two guests joined us on the morning of June 6, 2011, for a wet, chilly ride around the Bay, loved every minute, and thousands have followed since. For a decade we have shared our passion for sailing and the mystique of the America's Cup, while striving to create an experience like no other. Our amazing Captain Jon Buser was in charge of that first trip, and ten years on has undoubtedly sailed more miles on an America's Cup yacht than anyone in history. While USA 76 is the elegant centerpiece of our business, Jon and our crew are the foundation. Our guests write positive reviews about their engagement with our people more than any other aspect of their trip. We are eternally grateful for the effort and professionalism of all our crew, past and present, every time 76 leaves the dock. Thank you.

Tour of USA 17
17 Fly By Aug 20
On Valentine's Day 2010 the huge trimaran USA17 won the America's Cup in Valencia, Spain for BMW Oracle Racing, hence returning the 'cup' event to US shores for the first time in 18 years. Held in San Francisco in 2013 the cup was successfully defended by Oracle Team USA in the high-flying 72 Ft wing sail catamaran seen in this video. Charter guests on the schooner 'AMERICA' on San Francisco Bay were treated to an amazing high speed fly-by....a very unique highlight of this particular trip. The return of the 'cup' to the USA reinvigorated public interest in this "oldest trophy in sport", the ultimate sailing prize.
Artemis Flyby
Artemis has been doing some training on the Bay recently.

Ever wonder how the fastest racing boats manage to trim massive sails and adjust solid foils – all under human power?

ACsailingSF wrote to say: "We're Open for Sailing!
"That's right, we're excited to offer our one-of-a-kind, America's Cup Sailing Experience all summer long. San Francisco's incredible sailing arena is open, and the summer breeze is on!
"Join us as we sail in an outdoor, naturally ventilated area - the San Francisco Bay! There's nothing like the wind in our hair and the sun on our face to remind us of the health benefits of the great outdoors. We will be sailing at half capacity, and smaller group sizes mean more helm time for you!"
It's not as easy to go sailing as in 'the old days' but it's just as fun, refreshing and rewarding.
Happy 10th anniversary of winning the 33rd America's Cup! And Happy Valentine's Day to you all as well.
Do you sail year round? Wondering whether you're just booked up, or if you're taking a break, is the source of my bad luck in not finding availability this month.
Sail with ACsailingSF and you'll get unforgettable views of San Francisco's iconic landmarks and the Bay.
Are you sailing in June 2020? Was looking to see the online schedule and it's showing no availability.
Is the boat leaning or is the photo crooked? On ACsailingSF, you can feel the thrill of sailing on a former racing yacht! As part of the crew onboard the USA 76, you will help sail across the Bay with perfect views of iconic San Francisco Landmarks.
Become part of the crew with ACsailingSF as you help with the ‘hoist’ and take your turn as a ‘grinder’. It is an adrenaline-filled ride with magnificent views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, Sausalito and San Francisco. ACsailingSF has what you need if you’re craving speed!

I still want to know, how fast did your skinny girl go?!?
