Peter Rindlisbacher, C.S.M.A., oil on canvas, 16" x 20", 2011.

Lines as taken from the model loaned to Thomas W. Lawson by Dr H.A. Yeomans of Belleville, to whom Cuthbert had given it prior to departing for New York. Lawson also published a pen and ink drawing from an 1886 [sic] photo loaned by Lt. Col. William N. Ponting, also of Belleville (differences in rig were noted.) Vide "The Lawson's History of The America's Cup. A record of fifty years", Boston, 1902.
