Omega America's Cup World Series Event - Chicago

Post by AntonioPD » Mon Jun 13, 2016 2:08 pm

Hey Guys,

Thanks to my friend Julio Rodriguez at the Chicago Omega Boutique, my buddy Vince and I got to spend Saturday on Team New Zealand's logistics boat during the America's Cup races. Team New Zealand is in first place overall (though Chicago was not a big success for them) and it was cool to rub shoulders with the Kiwis for the afternoon. We also spent some time the evening before at the boutique for their "Grand Re-Opening," and then were joined by Omega managers Dario Mainella (Chicago Boutique) and Neil Meany (Regional Manager,) as well as events coordinator Megan, on the water. Here are some pics - sorry, not a lot of watch content. Note the Bremont Horseman fly-over in their P-51 Mustangs at the end; those who know me will know this was a high-point in a great day!

Many thanks to the great people at Omega; if you're in Chicago be sure to stop by the boutique and ask for Julio! :thumbsup:
