Dear Supporters,

Thank you for standing with us as we advocate to bring the Olympic sport of sailing to Los Angeles for the LA28 Games. We’re writing today to share key momentum and high-level reasons why San Pedro is not just a good choice it’s the bold, visionary choice.

Unprecedented Spectator Potential- In an interview with Sportico, LA28 Chair Casey Wasserman is confident the Games will break ticket sales records across all sports. With our expansive waterfront, San Pedro can host more live spectators for sailing than any Olympic Games in history offering access, excitement, and inspiration right on our shore.

Record-Breaking Broadcast Viewership- With stunning visuals, consistent wind, and proximity to L.A.'s media hubs, San Pedro is uniquely positioned to deliver the most televised and widely viewed Olympic sailing events in history. This is our moment to let the world fall in love with the sport we already cherish.

Bringing sailing to San Pedro isn’t just about 2028 it’s about creating a home base for youth access, women’s development, job creation, and a long-term pipeline to high-performance sailing. Our community has the infrastructure and the passion to leave a lasting legacy far beyond the Games.

We’re not just talking about a venue. We are on the front line of impacting the sport of sailing like the world has never seen. San Pedro has the opportunity to redefine what inclusion, visibility, and opportunity look like in sailing and to raise the bar globally.

This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to push our sport into a new era. With unmatched access, diversity, and energy, San Pedro can help sailing soar to new heights on the world stage.
