Published on September 5th, 2013
A mural of America’s Cup sailing boats in San Francisco is being dedicated to a sailor who died during a practice run for the regatta earlier this year. Family members of Andrew “Bart” Simpson attended the dedication ceremony for the mural, which was painted by students from the Academy of Art University (spelled by code flags at the top) on the side of a building at 150 Hayes St. near Polk Street. Simpson, a British sailor with the Sweden-based team Artemis Racing, died after the team’s boat capsized on the Bay on May 9. Full report.
