Stars & Stripes Rolls On
Dennis Conner’s overhauled Stars & Stripes nosed out America3 on the race course and Young America on the defenders scoreboard on day three of the second round of America’s Cup racing.
The improved Stars & Stripes increased its lead on four of the six legs against the all-women team and won by 1 minute, 29 seconds.
After losing three races in the first round of the trials, Stars & Stripes has won four straight starts and sits alone atop the defender standings.
