Three cities, one mission. In the summer of 2026, Team Francesca Clapcich Powered by 11th Hour Racing set out on its first Changemakers Tour.

From Boston to Newport to New York City, Francesca, her crew, and some special guests met students and community leaders both on the water and ashore. Their message to young people was simple: anybody can be a changemaker in the future if you dream big, take the first step, and believe in yourselves.

‍

They also visited 11th Hour Racing grantees from youth sailing clubs to oyster restoration projects to community programs, each showing that real change often starts close to home.

‍

This video captures the energy of the journey and how the team’s Believe, Belong, Achieve philosophy came to life in the communities they visited.

Ian Walsh, big wave surfer “As athletes, ocean health and sustainability are at the heart of what we do – without the ocean, we wouldn’t be here.”

Steve Benjamin, filmmaker “I really want people to fall in love with the ocean, to appreciate it more, and to try to alter their behavior around it. Everything ends up in the ocean, and it’s such a dumping ground for humanity. My hope is that people see the ocean as a living entity that needs to be protected.”

Amory Ross, storyteller “How can I describe the ocean? The ocean is impossible to describe because it is endless; it is full of life, wonder, and mystery.”
