    Who are these Men?

    By MarieSager  |  Posted June 27, 2012  |  Newport, Rhode Island
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     iReporter MarieSager, a photographer, snapped these images of team skippers from the yachting competition the America's Cup in Newport, Rhode Island a few weeks ago. "The last time the America's Cup was in Newport was about 20 years ago, so did not want to miss this opportunity to see the races," she said. "The last day of the races, which I covered from a boat, was one of the most exciting experiences I've ever had photographing."
    - sarahbrowngb, CNN iReport producer
