This print, from Currier & Ives made in 1870 gives different times and finish sequence than the article. Broichmore (talk) 09:54, 28 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

The infobox states that the races were held at Newport, R.I., but the text says "The course of the race was from the Club House, Staten Island, N.Y. around the S.W. Spit to and the light ship off Sandy Hook and back, 40 miles." Staten Island and Newport are more than 100 miles apart. Neither of these statements is cited, naturally. The N.Y. claim may have come from the caption of the Currier & Ives print (not exactly a reliable source of factual information, but a significant source of boosterism), but the one source cited would appear to agree about that fact. So where was it? Minturn (talk) 13:06, 20 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Minturn, yes, I agree, the infobox should say New York Yacht Club, Staten Island, New York. Greg Henderson (talk) 18:45, 20 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
