History

Sail Newport was founded in 1983 after the loss of the America's Cup. The organization's mission is to promote and operate affordable public sailing instruction, rental programs and to create opportunities to attract new sailors to the sport.[1]

Sail Newport is Rhode Island's premier public sailing center.[2] It offers sailing lessons to all ages, in addition to boat storage and numerous annual regattas. Special events have included the America's Cup World Series in 2012 and the Volvo Ocean Race in 2015 and 2018.[3]

gollark: > Behind the scenes, Rayon uses a technique called work stealing to try and dynamically ascertain how much parallelism is available and exploit it. The idea is very simple: we always have a pool of worker threads available, waiting for some work to do. When you call join the first time, we shift over into that pool of threads. But if you call join(a, b) from a worker thread W, then W will place b into its work queue, advertising that this is work that other worker threads might help out with. W will then start executing a.

gollark: Maybe I should actually benchmark it.
gollark: It apparently uses "work-stealing" or something, and I think it depends on how complex the operations are.
gollark: I had so many accursed borrow checker issues.
