Columbia Racing Yacht, 1958 America's Cup Defender - Wooden Model Sailboat, 24" Long. In 1958 a new class of sailboats, the 12 Meter class, was introduced as the racing class of the America's Cup. Off the coast of Newport, Rhode Island sleek and fast, Columbia (12 Meter US-16), stunned its competition with a sweeping win of the first 12 Meter America's Cup, proving that 12 Meters were justifiable competitors in the coveted America's Cup!
Olin Stephens brought all his vast and sound experience in the design of the 1958 America's Cup Defender. Columbia was built in the Nevins Yacht under the supervision of Olin Stephens of Sparkman & Stephens. This 12 meter yacht had a wooden hull and could sail at very high speed. The skipper Briggs Cunningham took Columbia to the victory, winning over all contenders.
