The 1958 America's Cup marked the first Cup match sailed in 12-metre class yachts. With twenty years having gone by since the last Cup match in 1937 the New York Yacht Club looked for a cheaper alternative to the J-class yachts in order to restart interest in the Cup. In 1956 Henry Sears〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=America's Cup Hall of Fame : Henry Sears, 1995 Inductee )〕 led an effort to replace the J-class yachts with 12-metre class yachts. The Royal Yacht Squadron of Great Britain agreed to challenge with a new yacht, ''Sceptre''. The New York Yacht Club defended with their new 12-meter yacht, ''Columbia'', winning the Cup four races to none. ==Defender Series== Four yachts competed in a summer long regatta to determine which yacht the NYYC would name as defender in the match. Competing were ''Columbia'' (US-16), ''Weatherly'' (US-17), ''Easterner'' (US-18), and the Olin Stephens designed ''Vim'' (US-15) from 1939. ''Columbia'', the new Olin Stephens boat, was chosen as defender after a very close set of races only beating the 19-year-old ''Vim'' by 12 seconds in the final selection race.
