US 30 Freedom, Dennis Conner's last 12-metre yacht, in which he won the 1980 America's Cup landed on the rocks east of Grand Captain's Island, close to the navigational marker at the entrance to Greenwich Harbour. It happened at 2:30 Sunday afternoon; the skipper had to wait until 10:30 p.m. before the tide removed the boat from the rocks with minimal damage to her. The yacht was purchased in 2014 by the 12 Meter Development Foundation, whose mission is to buy 12-meter boats with a history and restore them, preserving them for posterity.
