The schooner yacht America began one of the greatest sporting events in history. This book by John Rousmaniere traces thedevelopment and racing success of the George Steers design against the best yachts that Britain could muster. He goes on to detail the subsequent career of this famous vessel as a spy ship, a blockade runner, the Naval Academy sail training vessel and a private yacht. Rousmaniere’s essay complements a beautifully illustrated volume with 43 color and 23 black and white pictures as well as three fold out plans.
