As she gracefully glides off the quayside, this archival image encapsulates both excitement and anticipation surrounding this high-stakes race against America's finest yachts.

Transporting us to an era when finance played a crucial role in these grand nautical endeavors, this photograph serves as a testament to the passion and dedication invested in challenging for sailing supremacy. It reminds us of how sport can unite nations while showcasing technological advancements within transportation.
