years is extraordinary and I am<br />

amazing club, sailing school and<br />

a unique way <strong>to</strong> appreciate <strong>the</strong><br />

Hudson and Battery Park City. I<br />

support your wisdom, business<br />

acumen and spirit. You have<br />

inspired me and many o<strong>the</strong>rs <strong>to</strong><br />

work on our passion for <strong>the</strong><br />

water and <strong>the</strong> wind. Many<br />

thanks for what you have<br />

created.<br />

- Caroline Coleman<br />

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 />
