Cup Comeback Continues

Sat., April 22, 1995

Compiled From Wire Services

From desperation to dominance, Dennis Conner’s remarkable comeback continued as the veteran skipper took control of the America’s Cup defender finals.

Conner’s Stars & Stripes gained both from the shifty wind and America3’s mistakes to beat Mighty Mary by 1 minute, 2 seconds. That gave Stars & Stripes its first outright lead in the three-boat finals.

Stars & Stripes leads the Citizen Cup finals with five points, followed by PACT 95’s Young America with four points and Mighty Mary with three.
