For <strong>the</strong> 1987 Cup, a <strong>to</strong>tal of three “America II” 12 Meters were built, US<br />
42, 44 & 46. US 42 & 46 were for testing designs. The 12 Meter we have<br />
at North Cove is US 46, <strong>the</strong> final boat which actually raced in <strong>the</strong><br />
America’s Cup competition. US 42 lives in Greenwich and US 44 lives in<br />
Hawaii.<br />
America II has been sponsored since 2007 by Moet & Chandon. Her<br />
mainsail is a well-known harbor icon. Moet has used America II as a<br />
platform for entertaining. They have brought many celebrities down <strong>to</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> marina <strong>to</strong> experience <strong>the</strong> thrill of sailing an American icon in <strong>the</strong><br />
harbor and past <strong>the</strong> Statue of Liberty.<br />
America II is <strong>the</strong> first sailboat in <strong>the</strong> harbor which attracts <strong>the</strong> Staten<br />
Island Ferry. The ferry sometimes mo<strong>to</strong>rs close and <strong>the</strong>n <strong>to</strong>ots her horn<br />
as a salute <strong>to</strong> this America’s Cup veteran!<br />
