The regatta yacht _americica_ is one of the most famous boats in nautical history of the nineteenth century, as well as the first winner of the prestigious international sailing trophy known today as _ America's Cup_. Built in 1851, _americica_ has become a symbol of engineering excellence and nautical skill, representing the culmination of the American naval innovation of the time.
On August 22, 1851, _americica_ conquered a historic victory by participating in the regatta organized by the Royal Yacht Squadron, one of the most relevant competitions of the time. The race, which took place on a path of 53 miles (about 85 km) around the island of Wight, saw the yacht _americica_ triumph with an impressive 18 -minute advantage compared to the opponents. This result not only marked the success of the yacht, but began the tradition of the oldest sail competition in the world.
Today, the yacht _america_ continues to live not only in the memory of sailing enthusiasts, but also thanks to faithful reproductions made by Authentic Models. This company is renowned for the creation of high quality nautical models, which carefully reproduce the details of the original yacht. Fans can thus relive history and admire one of the greatest legends of the sea up close.
