For decades, classic 12-metre yachting and racing have been a staple of sailing in Newport, RI, and the waters around it. Many of these yachts participated in the well-known America’s Cup races. While the technology of competition yachting has lead to some radical new designs, the clean lines of the 12-metre yachts, their handling and their pace through the water is still amazing. Their classic beauty has not been lost even as their owners and crew work each year to tune the specific vessels for their best performance.
