America (yacht)
''America'' was a 19th-century racing yacht and first winner of the America's Cup international sailing trophy. The Royal Yacht Squadron's "One Hundred Sovereign Cup" or "£100 Cup," mistakenly known in America as the "One Hundred Guinea Cup,"〔https://www.rys.org.uk/about/the-yacht-america/〕 the trophy was later renamed after the original winning yacht. On August 22, 1851, ''America'' won the Royal Yacht Squadron's regatta around the Isle of Wight by eighteen minutes.〔

== America origins ==
A syndicate of New York Yacht Club members, headed by NYYC charter member Commodore John Cox Stevens, with members Edwin A. Stevens, George Schuyler, Hamilton Wilkes, and J. Beekman Finley, would build a yacht to sail to England. The purpose of this visit was twofold: to show off U.S. shipbuilding skill and make money through competing in yachting regattas. Stevens employed the services of the shipyard of William Brown and his chief designer, George Steers.〔
