Once a Blockhead, always a Blockhead.
And now, they're making their America's Cup debut. We chatted with 'advanced Blockhead' Riley Gibbs and Andrew Campbell, crew members on American Magic, as they work toward competing in the America's Cup.
We met with them in Barcelona, Spain, where the 37th America's Cup will be held and where the teams campaigning are based. Andrew and Riley told us about their roles in American Magic and what sailing on the AC40 and AC75 is like.
