A replica of the legendary yacht that won the Hundred Guinea Trophy race around the Isle of Wight in 1851 — the trophy that later became the America's Cup.
Launched in 1995 as a tribute to the history of the original and as a seagoing demonstration of modern marine design. Only her engine, her shape below the waterline and her interior fittings differ from the original.
In 1999 Historic Tours of America bought her and ran charter trips between Key West and Boston. Douglas Manchester acquired her in November 2005; she serves as a private yacht and is offered for exclusive charter.
