About Yacht America (Half Hull): K1116

Yacht America – Half Hull Kit | After being launched in New York in 1851, the yacht AMERICA crossed the Atlantic to challenge the entire fleet on England’s Royal Yacht Squadron. Having won, she was awarded a silver trophy that was to become known as the America’s Cup, the most cherished prize in the world of sailing.

The 1851 yacht America is a remarkable vessel that has captured the hearts and imaginations of sailors and enthusiasts for generations. Designed and built by George Steers, this magnificent yacht was intended to compete in the prestigious Royal Yacht Squadron’s annual 100 Guinea Cup race, now known as the America’s Cup. With its sleek and graceful lines, the America was a true representation of the burgeoning American sailing industry at the time.

The yacht was named after its home country, a symbol of pride and patriotism for the young nation. It was constructed with the most advanced techniques and materials of the time, making it a cutting-edge vessel in terms of both design and performance. Its hull was made of oak and its rigging was crafted from the finest hemp, allowing the yacht to glide through the water with speed and agility.

Half Hulls are beautiful additions to home and office as well as unique presentation awards. AMERICA can be varnished showing the decorative alternating basswood and mahogany layers, or painted as on the original yacht.
