The U.S. Elliot 6m boat skippered by Anna Tunnicliffe and crewed by Debbie Capozzi (both of Old Dominion) won its first race against Finland on Tuesday to stay alive in the best-of-five quarterfinals but was eliminated in the second race of the day.
“We sailed this whole regatta the best we could and it just wasn’t meant to be,” Tunnicliffe told the AP.
