American Way magazine is featuring San Diego’s own Dennis Conner’s America’s Cup Experience this month on American Airlines. This one-of-a-kind sailing experience lets passengers race around the Big Bay aboard one of two America's Cup boats, Stars & Stripes or Abracadabra.

Dennis Conner's America's Cup Experience provides a unique opportunity for the public to experience the thrill of being a crew member on one of these authentic America's Cup racing yachts. No experience is necessary and with a little guidance from the crew you will soon be bragging about your own America's Cup experience and making one more check off your own personal "bucket list." Visitors also have the opportunity to board the magnificent 139-foot schooner America and dwell in the luxury and atmosphere of a relaxing sunset sail on the Big Bay.

San Diego’s near perfect climate allows these big yachts to deliver amazing sailing experiences – year round. Since all ships are located at the remarkable Maritime Museum of San Diego, passengers get the added value of FREE admission to the museum on their day of sailing. All yachts are also available for private and corporate charter.

So get your friends and family together for some of these fun summer activities:
 - 1.5 hour sails on Stars & Stripes
 - 2.5 hour races on Stars & Stripes and Abracadabra
 - 2.5 hour sunset and history sails on America
