I really hit the jackpot and was able to sail several times this summer with Sail USA-11 : ) Every single sailing turn has just been an awesome experience...unforgettable: The view on San Diego's Skyline, the action and the technology on boat (a lot of fun with this crew is guaranteed) or just the feeling of the wind and power!... more

This was one of the highlights of our trip to San Diego. Lynn and the crew of the Stars and Stripes are fabulous. Everyone was so personable, accomodating and knowledgable. Be prepared to participate in the sail...no lollygagging allowed on this boat! If you're looking for something a little different on your trip to San Diego, this is no ordinary... more

This was an excellent sailing experience. The crew and volunteers were wonderful and made the day fun and exciting. The captain made sure everyone had a chance at the controls. I would highly recommend Sail USA-11! more

My college girl friends and I enjoyed an invigorating afternoon sailing together on Stars and Stripes 11 with Captain Lynn Hanna. We celebrated my Bachelorette Party. Some of my girl friends were novice sailors. Lynn clearly explained to them how to grind the main and the jib, and they fully participated in an very fun sailing experience. I especially enjoyed... more

Wonderful sail on an immaculate boat. And at 78' in length a very impressive one. This was a real sail, which is what we always want, but seldom find. It is not sightseeing with narration. Three hours of great fun and worth every penny it cost. I can't wait for our next sail on Stars and Stripes, USA11. more

We had a chance to have a "mini reunion" on the America's Cup Sailboat. The crew was knowledgeable, energetic, competitive and fun. The weather provided the usual San Diego sunshine with perfect temperatures and enough wind to get the boat up to an easy 12 knots. Nothing like the views of the city from the water. Owners, Mark & Steve... more

A must do if you are in San Diego. Sail the San Diego Bay for three plus hours on the Stars and Stripes America's Cup racing boat. Captain Lynn is great, let's each guest "man the helm" for a short period of time and gets everyone involved in cranking the grinders. A beautiful boat and an awesome experience. more

I just got home from sailing on the Stars and Strips, Sail USA 11, a retired Americas Cup racing boat, and wow, what a fun time! The boat is quick, and slices through the water, no problems with rolling or sea sickness, due to most of the weight of the boat being at the bottom of the massive keel, under... more
