Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Both the leader, Roland Jourdain's Sill, and second-placed Ellen MacArthur's Kingfisher have turned south-west as a series of Atlantic depressions approaches them 2,000 miles from the finish of the third leg of the EDS Atlantic Challenge from Portsmouth to Baltimore.
Strong winds which delayed the final Atlantic leg of the Tour de France à la Voile from Ile d'Oleron to Bayonne eventually led to its cancellation. The 38 Mumm 30s will now be taken by road for the start of the Mediterranean stages from St Cyprien on Monday.
The Mumm 30s also joined their 52ft, 45ft and 40ft big brothers in the One Design Regatta off Cowes yesterday.
Louis Brown's Asterix notched up three straight wins. Nigel Bramwell's Hawk added two more wins to his opening three in the 45s and Tony Buckingham's A Bit of a Coup was a double winner in the 40s. Honours in the 52s were even between David Lowe's Loco and Kit Hobday's Bear of Britain.
