Sailing can be a relaxing diversion from the heat and the hustle of the city, whether as a teambuilding exercise or business entertaining activity. And this summer, the boats of the America's Cup-winner Dennis Conner are available for private charters. Launched in early May, Big Apple Sailing offers two-hour rentals on several of Conner's vessels, including the America II, three six-seat training boats, and Stars & Stripes, the boat that won the America's Cup in 1987. Once aboard and en route to the Statue of Liberty, guests can take the wheel regardless of experience.
