Skeleton Crew Sailing, the only U.S. team in the race, is a nonprofit organisation founded in 2016 by U.S. Navy veteran Taylor Grieger. Their mission is to provide adventure therapy to military service members and veterans through sailing expeditions. The Skeleton Crew has assembled an all-veteran race team with representatives from all U.S. military services.
We look forward to representing the veteran community in this race and sharing our message with the world.
