America3, once the fastest yacht in the America’s Cup, sailed its last race and its historic women’s crew lost to Stars & Stripes by 1 minute, 52 seconds to conclude the third round-robin of the defender trials.

America3, which won the 1992 America’s Cup with a male crew, will be replaced by USA-43. The new yacht will be christened on Wednesday and make its debut Thursday against Stars & Stripes to open round-robin four.
