Thank you for your service - North U Veterans Day Interview with Peter Gibbons Neff and Jane Millman

Honoring Service, Sailing with Purpose 🌊 | Veterans Day at North U and American Sailing Hi everyone, and welcome! Today is Veterans Day, and we’re proud to celebrate two remarkable sailors and North U coaches: Peter Gibbons-Neff and Jane Millman. Peter is a Marine Corps officer, offshore racer, and 2023 Mini Transat finisher — which means he’s already crossed the Atlantic alone in a 21-foot boat (yes, twenty-one feet — that’s smaller than some people’s living rooms). Jane, the organizational wizard behind his campaigns, is the driving force that turns Peter’s bold ideas into real-world outcomes. If you’ve sailed with us, you might know them already: Jane leads our Women’s Only Performance Race Week in St. Petersburg, Florida every March (and yes — she’s confirmed she’ll be back this year!). Peter has coached at multiple Performance Race Weeks and Regatta Experiences, bringing his blend of discipline and saltwater grit to every crew. Together, they’re launching a new Mini Transat campaign — not just a race across the Atlantic, but a mission that bridges sailing and service through U.S. Patriot Sailing, a nonprofit helping veterans find connection and purpose on the water. “Every campaign begins with an idea,” Peter says. "This one started years ago — in the Pentagon, of all places — and was reinforced during the 2023 Mini Transat (after a small incident involving a missing rudder). It grew through collaboration with naval architect Sam Manuard, who’s now designing a brand-new foiling Classe Mini 6.50 prototype for the next adventure." From sketches in April to the first pieces coming together this fall, the project is more than a raceboat. It’s about innovation with intention: Supporting U.S. Patriot Sailing, empowering veterans through the sport. Embracing sustainability, with a prototype powered entirely by solar energy. Blending performance and purpose — the same way great sailors blend tactics and teamwork. At North U and American Sailing, we salute those who serve — and those who keep finding new ways to lead, teach, and inspire both on and off the water.
