2021 Atlantic Cup sailing race begins Newport-Portland route, French team leads, USA 200 retires.
The Atlantic Cup sailing race began its first-ever Newport to Portland, Maine route, replacing the traditional New York to Portland leg. Teams face a 360-nautical mile course with waypoints to avoid a whale breeding ground. The French team La Manche Évidence Nautique leads, but USA 200, Scowling Dragon, had to retire due to structural damage. The race continues with minimal rest for sailors amidst challenging weather and light winds.
