Growth of American Cup Defender From Cruiser to Racing Machine
The New York Yacht Club shifted to a permissive measurement rule to curb racey designs, spurring a shift from centerboard sloops to deep keel cutters. Defenders like Vigilant and Defender showcase escalating hull shapes, sail plans, and materials, ending with Constitution adopting a bold scow form to boost speed under the same rule.
