Skeleton Crew Sailing, the only U.S. team in the race, is a nonprofit founded in 2016 by U.S. Navy veteran Taylor Grieger with the mission to provide adventure therapy to military service members and veterans through sailing expeditions. The Skeleton Crew has assembled an all-veteran team 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.

Taylor Grieger is a veteran of the U.S. Navy and founder of Skeleton Crew Adventures. After serving in the Navy for six years as a rescue swimmer, Taylor led an expedition around Cape Horn on a 36-foot boat to raise awareness for veteran suicide. In addition to being a licensed captain and sailing instructor, Taylor is the co-owner of Cape Horn Tequila, a company he founded to support veterans’ causes. Taylor and his partner reside with their two children in Kemah, Texas, a stone’s throw from Galveston Bay.
