Young America Wins

Young America rallied during the last leg to defeat Stars & Stripes on the America’s Cup defender course, ending a five-race victory streak for Dennis Conner’s boat.

Young America had fallen behind by more than 2 minutes because of a tangled sail, but caught Conner’s dark blue boat on the home stretch.

After a strong start in the competition, Young America has struggled lately. Sunday’s win snapped a three-race losing streak.
