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.

The Sigma 33 National Championship went to Scotland's Ian Nicolson, whose St Joan, helmed by Simon Pender, had dominated the 73-strong feet throughout the nine races held within Ford Cork Week at Crosshaven. Second was John Connelly's Phoenix with Jeremy Vines third in Harmony. The big boat class 0 had always been a fight between the three Bashford-Howison 41s, the winner being the latest version, Jocelyn Waller's Silk 2, helmed by Gordon Maguire, with another Irish boat, Colm Barrington's Surfin' Shoes second, and the English contender Nigel Bramwell's Hawk third.
