Explore how American yachting evolved from pure sail to efficient, fast cruising with gasoline auxiliaries, and why it reshaped sport and travel afloat.
This book excerpt shows how designers and sailors expanded pleasure boats from long voyages to quick, versatile craft. It traces early 1900s experiments with gasoline power, the appeal of mixed sailing and motoring, and the way this shift influenced culture, clubs, and boat-building across the United States. It also highlights the drama around the America Cup, including the creation of the New Deed of Gift and its impact on future matches.
- How gasoline auxiliary motors expanded cruising options and made harbor handling easier.
- The rise of American yachting culture, with more clubs, boats, and class racing.
- Notable vessels and designers mentioned, such as Tekla and Clara, and what they illustrate about boat design of the era.
