Hosted and organized by the New York Yacht Club, this memorable evening will include exclusive content and discussion, cocktails, dinner, a live auction, paddle raise and dancing under the stars. Sailors from across Olympic classes will be in attendance, representing multiple disciplines and stages of the Olympic journey. Guests will have a rare opportunity to connect with the full breadth of America’s top sailing talent — all in one room.

Unable to attend? Please consider a sponsorship or donation, which goes directly to athletes competing for a berth on the 2028 Team. The SFNY, a 501(c)(3) organization, is fully volunteer-run and has no overhead. Athletes are never charged for SFNY services.

Funds from the Golden Spinnaker are allocated exclusively by the SFNY in strict accordance with SFNY policies. All funds go to support athletes seeking to compete in the 2028 Games or ultimately competing in the 2028 Games. It is important to note that athletes will not be selected until mid/late 2027. 14 sailor athletes - regardless of their affiliation or how they were selected to join Team USA - will compete in Long Beach and represent our country. The SFNY stands ready to support this team in a fair and equitable manner, as we have done for 26 years.
