AMERICA'S CUP "If we can fly today in the San Francisco Bay, this is because there have been "adventurers" like Walter Greene and Mike Birch.
To understand the future, we must know and respect the past."

The yachting contests of the past week were brought to a glorious conclusion by yesterday's race, which was one of the fairest and most legitimate that we have had yet.
The new rules :The RYS Minutes of 9 May 1851 record the decision to hold a race on Friday 22nd August, during the club's Regatta, which would be open to yachts of clubs of all nations. This first such race was arranged so that America could take part if she came to England. Squadron races were normally open only to their own yachts.

In this country we were not content to trust the defense to Vigilant, especially after her poor showing against Britannia in 1894, and a syndicate was formed in the New York Yacht Club (syndicates were getting to be the fashion those days, with the growing cost of building and running a defender) to build a new boat. In this syndicate were C. Oliver Iselin, who was to manage the yacht, W. K. Vanderbilt, and E. D. Morgan.
© 1899 SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, INC : JUNE 24, 1899Designer Herreshoff has never been known to take a retrograde step. Each yacht that he has turned out in any class has been faster than its predecessors, and we have every confidence, therefore, that Columbia will be superior to Defender.
When the New York Yacht Club was arranging for the defense of the America's Cup, Alexander Smith Cochran was asked if he would join the syndicate to build the Herreshoff boat.
He asked for a few hours to think it over, and then said:
"I have decided not to join your syndicate. If, however, you would like to have a second yacht built for the defense of the America's Cup I will build that yacht."
