The winner
Designed by A. Cary Smith, Mischief has a steel hull. It's a sloop like Atalanta, chosen instead of Gracie, which is a new development. This will lead to the Americans' decision to implement qualifying races in the future. The significant difference between Mischief and the challenger makes the organizers fear that interest in the race will wane. They therefore decide to change the rules, stipulating, among other things, that challengers must be built in their country of origin and that they must travel to the race site at their own expense
The looser
Designed by A. Cuthbert, Atalanta is significantly behind schedule and therefore lacks preparation. Mischief beats it by 30 minutes and then by an hour in the second race.
