URI alumnus Tom Burnham ’93 is back at the America’s Cup, leading the New York Yacht Club’s American Magic in the 37th edition of the iconic sailing competition. As head coach, he’s focused on fostering an inclusive team atmosphere in preparation for the upcoming regattas, which begin with the preliminary races on August 22.

During his time at URI, Tom was an integral part of the sailing team (including serving as team captain) that won multiple national championships and the 1990 World Collegiate Keelboat Championship—still the only U.S. team to hold that title. 

Reflecting on his journey, Tom shared, “There’s no question that my time at URI and my time as part of the sailing team really made a huge impact on my life.” Now, he’s bringing that same passion and leadership to the global stage in Barcelona.
