One of the only three surviving wooden America's Cup Defenders in the world, Wheatherly is a true legend in American sailling history. Built by Luders Marine Shipyard to the highest construction standards, of African Mahogany, white oak and bronze, her longevity is a testament to the boatbuilder's art. She won the 1962 America's Cup defense keeping the America's Cup in Newport RI. The races were followed closely by President and Mrs Kennedy, who brought the high style of that brief administration to Newport. Weatherly continued to compete through 1970, when she was converted for offshore racing on the Great Lakes, the SORC and Puget Sound. She was purchased in Seattle in 1986 by America's Cup Charters who then sailed her to Newport via the Panama Canal. She has been meticulously restored and offers a comfortable varnished interior, speed and beauty under sail, and one of the finest pedigrees in yachting. America's Cup Depender, ocean racer, and restored classic, enjoy a day sail aboard the extraordinary Weatherly!

The Weatherly can be chartered for day-sail events or individual tickets can be purchased. Please call boatbookings.com for prices.
