USA 50 is a two person, mixed gender Sailing Team that races professionally on the world stage… and represented team uSA at the Paris 2024 Summer olympic Games

From 2022-24 Sarah Newberry Moore and David Liebenberg were the top ranked American athletes competing in the high-speed foiling Nacra 17. In 2024 they represented Team USA at the Paris Olympics.

Sarah and David teamed up to work their way to the top in 2018. Narrowly missing out on Olympic selection in 2020, but experiencing their career best performances, David and Sarah are committed full steam to the 2024 quadrennium.

The USA 50 Team mission is to achieve world class performance through purposeful sportsmanlike action. Because of this, the USA 50 Racing campaign is about more than just the mission of winning races… we also work to inspire change in the world by sharing our journey with as many folks as we can.

Our team believes that women can be world class professional athletes and mothers at the same time. Sarah’s first child was born in Spring, 2021, and travels, races, and competes as a and athlete AND mother.

USA 50 Racing also aims to help develop younger American athletes through online and in person coaching. You can learn more about our performance coaching services here.

Why USA 50?

It’s our sail number, and it’s on our sail at every event we compete at! When we started racing together, instead of naming our team after ourselves, we wanted a team name that would represent our friendship, collaboration, and patriotism. We also wanted it to be a name we could use long after we achieve our Olympic dreams, and a name that would be flexible if we incorporated new teammates or projects into our mission! We started calling ourself USA 50, and it stuck. We like to think that every time we pull our sail up, we’re representing all 50 states of the beautiful USA.
