Product Description
The America 1851 Schooner is a symbol of sailing excellence and maritime history. Designed by George Steers for Commodore John Cox Stevens and a syndicate from the Yacht Club of New York, the schooner made history by winning the Royal Yacht Squadron’s 53-mile regatta around the Isle of Wight on August 22, 1851. This victory secured the famous “One Hundred Sovereign Cup,” later known as the America’s Cup—the oldest international sporting trophy.
