Young America (1994 Yacht)
''Young America'' (USA-36) is an American International America's Cup Class yacht that unsuccessfully defended the 1995 America's Cup. History ''Young America'' was built for the PACT 95 racing syndicate, based in Maine and led by John Marshall, for the 1995 Citizen Cup. The Team Dennis Conner syndicate, sailing ''Stars & Stripes'' (USA-34), won the Citizen Cup and the right to defend the America's Cup against the challenge of Team New Zealand, sailing the yacht ''Black Magic'' (NZL 32). Judging that the ''Young America'' yacht was the fastest of the regatta, Team Dennis Conner petitioned and was granted the right to use ''Young America'' in place of ''Stars & Stripes'', in what proved to be an unsuccessful attempt to defend the America's Cup. ''Young America'' was designed by Bruce Farr. The original graphics on her hull were created by Roy Lichtenstein and produced by students at RISD. In 2003, the yacht was donated to the Storm King Art Center in New York. In 2017, Ke ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Design and development ''Stars & Stripes 87'' was built in 1986.Conner p. 46 She was the culmination of the team’s 12 Meter design advances, the fifth boat in the Sail America Foundation stable, and the third of the new boat designs by Britton Chance Jr., Bruce Nelson and David Pedrick. In 1983 the Cup had been lost to ''Australia II'', a wing keeled boat that was markedly quicker in stays than ''Liberty''. It was known that the course for the Cup in 1987 would have an increase in the number of legs, going from six legs to eight. There had been no change made in the course length to be sailed, thus the distance of each leg was shorter. Most believed this would place a greater premium on design trends established in ''Australia II'', a boat that could turn fast and accelerate out of a tack quick ...
