Rambler 88 navigator Stan Honey advised the Race Committee of the Atlantic Anniversary Regatta that at 01:32 UTC on July 10, 2018, she had contact with an object in the water, and lost the port rudder.
The AAR Line Honours favourite is therefore retiring from the race and will be returning to Newport, RI (USA).
All crew are reported safe.
