Origins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the 20th<\/sup> August 1851, sah<\/a>iling history was made and The Americas Cup<\/a> was born.\u00a0 A group of Ne<\/a>w York businessmen set sail, crossing the Atlantic Ocean to compete in the Hundred Guinea Cup on the British Isle of Wight.<\/a> In an old schooner, the New York businessmen claimed victory of the Hundred Guinea Cup and subsequently renamed this as the notorious \u2018Americas Cup\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the race began, Queen Victoria and her husband Prince Albert were sat watching the race unfold. The emergence of an American<\/a> yacht was seen as a race between the New and Old western world and attracted nationwide attraction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The American<\/a> schooner made its way around some of the toughest sailing conditions in the world. The Needles<\/a> on the Isle of Wight is incredibly tidal and often profits from very strong winds. This race was not just a standard yacht race, it was a test which would define the beginning of the new Western age. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Your majesty, there is no second”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When Queen Victoria asked who was in second place her royal correspondence replied \u2018 Your majesty, there is no second\u2019, defining yacht racing history and making the Americas Cup<\/a> no longer just a sailing competition. This is a fierce and forceful worldwide competition that can make or break international relations. Known as a \u2018perpetual challenge cup for competition between nations\u2019 it is not a regatta to be missed out on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
