I live in Newport, Rhode Island, which is considered one of the sailing capitols of the world. For decades and decades, America held the "America's Cup" trophy. The America's Cup Race was held off coast of Newport, Rhode Island, which I believe started back in the 1800's. We lost to Australia back in 1984 I believe, however, I wanted to point out to any "Paine" decendants or "Burgess" decendants that they were captains on ships for the America's Cup Sailing Challenge.
