A ship model that not only won the regatta — it created a legend.
The yacht America, built in 1851, made history by winning the race around the Isle of Wight, launching the world’s oldest international sporting competition — the America’s Cup.
This 1:75 scale model captures the moment when sailing ceased to be a tradition and became engineering, competition, and modern design thinking.
