[About the Series] Chasing the Dream tells the story and shares the experience of individuals with their sights set on achieving remarkable dreams. In this first series, we follow along with the crews of the Italia Yachts 13.98 Artemis and the Italia Yachts 9.98 Vichingo as they set out to compete in two of the most iconic offshore challenges; the Annapolis to Newport and Chicago to Mackinac races.
This six-part video series, professionally produced by 410 Films in Annapolis, will take you behind the scenes and into the cockpit as the Teams plan, prepare, and compete. Follow along with the series on the @David Walters Yachts YouTube channel.
[The A2N Race] As a ‘bucket-list race for many sailors, the A2N as it’s commonly known, is one of the most historic and well-known blue water races in the United States. A destination to a destination, linking historic towns, this is a diverse and challenging race. Sailors navigate their yachts over 475 miles through the fickle waters of the Chesapeake then a long stretch in the open ocean.
[The Mac Race] Hosted annually by the Chicago Yacht Club, the Race to Mackinac has become somewhat of an allure to sailors locally and around the world. It is undoubtedly one of the top bucket-list races for many. Stretching out over 333 miles of open water, the race is widely known for its unpredictable weather, challenging conditions, and massive storm systems that can develop out of nowhere.
