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] |
International America's Cup Class
The International Americas Cup Class is a class of racing yacht that was developed for the America's Cup between 1992 and 2007. These yachts, while not identical, were all designed to the same formula to offer designers the freedom to experiment whilst keeping the boats sufficiently comparable to race in real time. The class was established for the 1992 America's Cup because of perceived shortcomings of the 12-metre class, which had been used in the America's Cup since 1958. In addition to the America's Cup, IACC yachts were raced in other regattas, including the IACC worlds. IACC Sail numbers IACC sail numbers were issued according to the date when the ACM measurement committee decided that the hull has reached a certain stage of completion. The number came in two parts: the flag state (represented by a three letter prefix) and the hull number. The country code changed as the hull was transferred from flag state to flag state. Only one boat had a sail number issued twice as i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Roy Lichtenstein
Roy Fox Lichtenstein (; October 27, 1923 – September 29, 1997) was an American pop artist. During the 1960s, along with Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, and James Rosenquist among others, he became a leading figure in the new art movement. His work defined the premise of pop art through parody. Inspired by the comic strip, Lichtenstein produced precise compositions that documented while they parodied, often in a tongue-in-cheek manner. His work was influenced by popular advertising and the comic book style. His artwork was considered to be "disruptive". He described pop art as "not 'American' painting but actually industrial painting". His paintings were exhibited at the Leo Castelli Gallery in New York City. ''Whaam!'' and '' Drowning Girl'' are generally regarded as Lichtenstein's most famous works. ''Drowning Girl'', ''Whaam!,'' and ''Look Mickey'' are regarded as his most influential works. His most expensive piece is '' Masterpiece'', which was sold for $165 million ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sailing Yachts Built In The United States
Sailing employs the wind—acting on sails, wingsails or kites—to propel a craft on the surface of the ''water'' (sailing ship, sailboat, raft, Windsurfing, windsurfer, or Kitesurfing, kitesurfer), on ''ice'' (iceboat) or on ''land'' (Land sailing, land yacht) over a chosen Course (navigation), course, which is often part of a larger plan of navigation. From prehistory until the second half of the 19th century, sailing craft were the primary means of maritime trade and transportation; exploration across the seas and oceans was reliant on sail for anything other than the shortest distances. Naval power in this period used sail to varying degrees depending on the current technology, culminating in the gun-armed sailing warships of the Age of Sail. Sail was slowly replaced by steam as the method of propulsion for ships over the latter part of the 19th century – seeing a gradual improvement in the technology of steam through a number of stepwise developments. Steam allowed sche ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
