Newport
Rhode Island
Newport is a city on Aquidneck Island in the New England state of Rhode Island. Its yacht-filled harbor hosted the America’s Cup, a renowned annual sailing regatta, for many years. Newport is also known for the Gilded Age mansions lining Bellevue Avenue, some of which are now museums. We had a sailing trip on the 12 metre Columbia, a former America’s Cup sailing yacht that won the race in 1958, an experience to remember!
