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.Tim Robinson, Jonathon Pudney and Bruce Grant on Racing Post pipped Lawrie Smith, Neal McDonald and Zeb Elliott on Rockport to win, by a countback, the six-race Aquatonic Skiff Grand Prix at Pwllhelli. Robinson had to drop back in the final race to cover Smith, who then incurred a penalty. That allowed Robinson to sail away and win as Smith could manage only third and a tie on points.
The 10 yachts in the Teacher's Round Britain Challenge, two each from England, France, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales, left Oban, Scotland, yesterday in pouring rain and light winds at the start of the third leg to Newcastle- upon-Tyne. France has a good lead from Scotland and England at the halfway stage and it was Dominic Bourgeois, of France, who led the way from the Scot, Jon Fitzgerald, and Mark Turner, of England.
