Sound Boatworks sponsors "Argo"

Sound Boatworks is proud to announce the sponsorship of "Argo", a Melges 32 from Larchmont YC, NY. Owned and operated by Jason Carroll, NYC, and backed with tactical support by John & Molly Baxter, Greenwich, CT, Argo is a well tuned Long Island Sound boat that has been traveling the international Melges 32 circuit for the past year and placing well amongst their seasoned international competitors. Last summer Argo attended the Melges 32 World Championship in Italy and placed 5th overall against well experienced European sport boat sailors. This year Argo has attended both Key West Race Week & Miami Race Week flying the Sound Boatworks colors. Sound Boatworks sponsored Argo in partnership with SLAM Foul Weather Gear, as you see in the photo above the Argonuats donning SLAM's RC Spraytop & RC Salopettes. Sound Boatworks will be following Argo closely on their tour of the East Coast circuit this season with the grand finale of the Melges 32 World Champs to be held in San Francisco, CA. Sound Boatworks is proud to support local teams and we give many thanks to the crew of Argo for supporting us on the water. We'd like to give special thanks to John & Molly Baxter, Whitney Gladstone from North Graphics, Filipo & Paul of SLAM USA, and Ted & Skip Zuse for all of the help in making this sponsorship a success.
