...next month. Outfitted with a second titanium-tipped mast (to replace the spar that broke twice in earlier races this summer), a new rudder, and new spreaders to stiffen the mast, Intrepid twice beat her own trial horse, Constellation, utterly crushed American Eagle-beating her by 9 min. 44 sec. over the 24.3-mile course-and showed her stern to California's Columbia...
