Fine Hand Carving

Well-known American pilot-schooner designer George Steers designed the yacht America in 1851. The following year she soundly beat a fleet of English yachts in a challenge race, and brought home to New York the silver cup which has come to be known as the America's Cup.
America's Cup challenges continued through the Victorian age, culminating in match races between the huge and very expensive J-boats. Following WWII, the racing was re-established with size limited to the 12-meter class.
The America's Cup continues to be one of the world's premier sailboat racing challenges, with teams from many countries now competing. Many of the races and trials continue to be held in the waters of the open Atlantic Ocean off Jamestown and Newport, RI.
