Synopsis

From early clubs to legendary matchups, it reveals the people, boats, and ideas that defined the sport.

- Meet pioneering builders and designers like John C. Stevens and George Steers, whose ideas moved yacht design forward.
- Relive pivotal matchups, including the Volunteer–Thistle race and the 1893 Vigilant–Valkyrie II encounter, and understand their impact on the Cup’s evolution.
- Explore how changes in rules, clubs, and boats influenced later races and the sport’s development.
