Courageous won the America's Cup
twice, in 1974 and 1977. In the history of
America's Cup, only three boats have achieved this
distinction: Intrepid in 1967 and 1970, and Columbia in
1899 and 1901. All these three yachts were from
the NYYC.
Courageous won the America's Cup
for the USA in 1974 with Ted Hood at the helm. When Hood
built a new boat which he thought was faster than
Courageous, he sold Courageous to Ted Turner. During the
defender trials for 1977 America's Cup, Turner beat
Hood, and then went on to successfully won the America's
Cup later that year.
Courageous was donated to a Museum in 1997, Courageous
was designated as Rhode Island's State Yacht. In
July, 2002, she was restored to her original
configuration.
Both Courageous and Intrepid are still sailing and
racing today in Newport.
