Before the era of high-tech automation, the America’s Cup was won through sheer grit, and the precise coordination of 16 elite sailors, dedicated to actually sailing the boat around the course with as few mistakes as possible.. If you're in Newport, Rhode Island, this Thursday, come experience that legacy in the new film, MIGHTY MARY, produced and directed by Mary Mazzio,. The film breathes life into one of yacht racing’s most legendary tales, blending original footage with present day interviews from the 1995 America 3 Women’s Team. They may not have taken home the Cup in San Diego 30 years ago, but their achievement created a legacy that will be remembered, long after the official winners have faded from memory.
Join us at Fort Adams from 5:00 PM to 9:30 PM; the film begins at 7:40 PM.
Can't make it to Newport? MIGHTY MARY opens nationwide on September 11 at AMC Theaters in 16 cities.

FRIDAY NIGHT "FESTIVAL" FUN!
The "Made in Hawaii Festival" has been around for decades, but I was never very interested as it was mostly a clothes, accessories, and food event. Considering the fact that it is now across the street from my studio at Century Center, and the attendance last year was around 70,000, I decided it might be fun to take a chance and apply for a space. Thanks to the third floor expansion this year, I was accepted and we had our opening VIP night, last night. The show will be on again tonight from 6:30 to 10:00, but I think it is sold out. Tomorrow we are open from 8am until 10 pm, and again on Sunday until 7pm. The lines are long to get in, but they move quickly once the doors open. If you are in Honolulu, stop by and see the latest that Hawaii Business have to offfer. I have a number of "Show Only" Specials including a free signed Poster with any purchase, which start at $20.00.

50 year anniversary of the maiden voyage of Hōkūleʻa.

In July of 1976, I was an artist selling my paintings every weekend at the Honolulu Zoo Fence. A couple of years earlier I had purchased my first “professional” camera, a Minolta SRT101, to shoot local landscape and sailing pictures that I could use as reference images for my paintings. As I was actively producing a growing collection of sailing images, the Waikiki Yacht Club, would occasionally ask me to take photos for their Club magazine, “The Windward Beat”. July 26, 1976, exactly 50 years ago, was one of those times. The club had secured a spot for me on a boat that was going to Diamond Head where I would be able to photograph the historic homecoming of the double hulled, Polynesian sailing canoe, Hōkūleʻa.
The 61’ vessel, built on the Windward Side of Oahu in 1975, had recently completed her first long distance voyage to Tahiti. During the 2,700 mile trip, the crew only relied on traditional, non-instrument, navigation techniques. The voyage proved the long debated claim that the early Polynesian voyagers were in fact, able to purposely sail great distances, to intended destinations over open ocean. And they did it hundreds of years before the birth of Columbus and the invention of navigational instruments. Their return to Honolulu marked the completion of Hōkūleʻa's maiden voyage to Tahiti and back.
I consider myself very fortunate to have been one of the thousands of spectators at Diamond Head that day, and then to experience her final arrival at Magic Island where thousands more were waiting to welcome the crew home.

When I was sailing on Lake Erie as a teenager in the late 60s, Bay Week, at Put In Bay, was THE place to be every summer. Glad to hear it is still going on, with the 2026 races scheduled for July 31 to August 2nd.

MIGHTY MARY during a pre-start, 1995 America's Cup Defense Trials, San Diego. Phil Uhl Photo
Congratulations! and best of luck to Mary Mazzio and the 50 eggs production crew on the completion of "MIGHTY MARY". The film, which will have it's first public screening during the Nantucket Film festival on Thursday, June 18th, tells the story of the America 3 Women's Team that Bill Koch put together for the defense of 1995 America's Cup. Unfortunately, I will not be able to make it to the East Coast to see the film and all of my former team mates, but maybe someone will put together something in San Diego.
