AMERICA Yacht

America's Cup Collection - Wooden Model

Sailing Yacht AMERICA 1851 


The yacht America, launched in 1851, is one of the most influential vessels in the history of sailing. Designed by James and George Steers for the New York Yacht Club, it was born out of a desire to demonstrate that innovation and naval engineering could surpass European tradition. That same year, she crossed the Atlantic to compete around the Isle of Wight against the elite of the British fleet. Her victory was so decisive that when Queen Victoria asked who had come in second, the reply became legendary: “Your Majesty, there is no second.” This triumph gave its name to the America’s Cup
