Hello Guest! There's a lot to look over, so sit back with a cup of coffee, relax and browse around. We have a great group of ship and boat modelers here, both newbies and old salts, from all over the world. Our goal here is to help each other, without criticism or rebuke. Both newbies and old salts alike can learn from each other. No one has all the answers. Our most basic rule is simple, respect for your fellow members and their opinions. And don't take yourself too seriously! wirewolf (John, AKA - Cap), Forum Administrator

Default Re: Yacht America
While she was a indeed a yacht, it is much more descriptively accurate to call her a schooner. ;0)

I was in San Francisco this past summer, and saw the wharf that is being renovated for the race as we do drove by to fishermans wharf. Looks like a hig tech airpoart with all sorts or colors. The new "cats" look more like ice racing boats then sail boats. I miss the 12 meter rule.

I glimpsed the America sailing out in the harbor, but she was headed in another direction, and I never got closer then to recognize her shape and sails from afar. Bummer.
