The film chronicles an amazing group of “we eat nails for breakfast” type of women: the first all-women’s sailing team to contend for the famed America’s Cup, the holy grail for one of sport’s most elite and exclusive racing events. This team was groundbreaking, beginning with an advertisement in the </span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">New York Times </span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-variant: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">(prompting hilarious responses from a wide swath of Americana who thought they might have what it takes to sail in the America’s Cup, including a woman flexing in a bikini next to a cactus). From there, a group of world class and Olympic sailors as well as Olympic rowers came together, a team which included a deaf sailor, a Native Hawaiian sailor, and the first African American sailor to ever win an America’s Cup race (as a coach of this novice, erstwhile team). What was dismissed as a publicity stunt turned into something unimaginable. This motley crew (sailing aboard </span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Mighty Mary</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-variant: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">) stunningly eliminated </span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Stars & Stripes </span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-variant: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">from contention, helmed by 4-time America’s Cup winner, Dennis Conner (“Mr. America’s Cup”). However, a secret backroom deal the night before the race upended that result. This is a true underdog story about a team which reshaped what could be possible in a sport that had long been inaccessible. Winner of the Maria Mitchell Visionary Award at the 2026 Nantucket Film Festival, the film opened theatrically across the country on September 11, 2026. And amazingly, on Sept 21, 2026, the America’s Cup itself ushered in the 38</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-variant: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">th</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-variant: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> running of the Cup in Naples, Italy with a signature event featuring </span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Mighty Mary.</span></span></div>PT1H38MNR2026-11-10USMary Mazzio
