If you were looking for the home town of the great sailors, you wouldn't look west of Kenosha, WI to the Town of Zenda, Wisconsin which produced the champion of local racers on little Lake Geneva. But Buddy Melges came from there - and won a slew of world championships in big boats, small boats, you name it. The last successful American Defender of the Cup, now 91, he is the subject of a forthcoming movie - The Wizard of Zenda. Check out the trailer.
Oh and Melges.com builds great sail and power boats, like the Melges 24.
