JFK and Victura

October 1, 2015 | 7:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.

Many families sail together, but the Kennedys’ relationship with Victura, the 25-foot sloop purchased in 1932 shortly after the family’s move to Hyannis Port, stands apart. Author and sailor James W. Graham explores the influence sailing had on JFK, shaping his character throughout his life and political career. The program was followed by a book signing. View this program on Youtube.
