San Francisco, CA (May 29, 2013) – The American Youth Sailing Force (The Force) has been practicing hard on the AC45 and making significant fitness progress with the help of Oracle Team USA’s trainers. They know you can’t win without both of those elements working in sync.

You have to be on top of everything and the forgiveness factor is way down. One small mistake can ruin everything.”
