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.Paul Cayard has lured the navigator of Ross Field's 1994 Whitbread- winning 60-footer Yamaha, New Zealander Nick White, to join his EF Language, the all-male crew in the EF syndicate, as the last major signing for the 1997-98 race, writes Stuart Alexander.
Cayard took over the job of skippering EF when Lawrie Smith left to join Silk Cut and has spent much time reassembling a crew to fill the gaps created by those who defected with Smith.
White joins Magnus Olsson and Klas Nylof of Sweden, Stevie Erickson, Kimo Worthington and Josh Belsky, of the United States, Curtis Blewitt of Canada, Franceso de Angelis and Lorenzo Mazza of Italy, Justin Clougher of Australia and Mark Christensen of New Zealand.
