A Piece of Sailing History Launched in 1851, the yacht America is one of the most iconic vessels in sailing history. Designed by James and George Steers for the New York Yacht Club, it was built to prove that innovation and naval engineering could surpass European tradition. That same year, America crossed the Atlantic to compete around the Isle of Wight against Britain’s finest fleet – and won so decisively that Queen Victoria’s famous question, “Who came second?” received the legendary reply: “Your Majesty, there is no second.” This historic victory not only gave the America’s Cup its name but also transformed sailing into a technological and competitive sport.
