ATLANTIC - 1903 - Atlantic was probably the best known schooner ever built in the United States and the beautiful yacht was admired by everyone who saw her. She was considered one of the most beautiful schooners ever built.
In 1905, 11 luxury yachts were invited to race the Kaiser's Cup, a race across the atlantic ocean, at the invitation of German Kaiser Wilhelm II. Among these yachts was the sleek three-masted schooner Atlantic, measuring 185 feet in length, weighing 206 tons and carrying 18,000 feet of sail. Her winning finish time of 12 days, four hours, one minute, and 19 seconds (indicates an average of well over 200 miles per day for the entire trip and on one day logged 341 miles) is a record so remarkable that in the past two decades numerous owners and syndicates have sent lightweight racing yachts over the course and failed to beat her record. The record went unbeaten for over 80 years.
Atlantic lasted into the late 1970s and in 1997, the New York Yacht Club hosted the "Atlantic Challenge" race for large cruising yachts in memory of Atlantic.
Assembly required, lift up the masts, sails and rigging attached, set the masts in place and adjust the tension on the rigging. Can be done in 15 minutes.
