Back to the roots.
175 years ago, on August 21st 1851, Schooner America won the 100 Guinea Cup in Cowes, Isle of Wight (UK). This victory set the starting point of the whole America's Cup, its fantastic history and unique legend.
It is always a bit emotional to meet one of the two replicas of schooner America that have been built at the end of the 20th century and are still sailing, not speaking about being able to sail onboard.
The shooting sequence of the actual trophy with one of the schooner America replica (the black one), early morning in San Francisco with nobody around except the Cup guard and the captain of the yacht, was just a truly magic moment I will never forget.

Lulworth was built in 1920 at the White Brothers shipyard in Southampton for Richard H. Lee, who wanted a racing yacht to compete in the British Big Class circuit. The vessel was launched in 1920 under the name *Terpsichore*. Due to post-World War I material shortages, the lower section of the mast was constructed of steel rather than wood. This drawback hampered Lulworth’s performance in the Big Class standings, often allowing older vessels—such as the Herreshoff-designed schooner Westward (1910), HMY Britannia (1893), or the Fife-designed 23-Metre Class yacht Shamrock (1908)—to claim victory.

Her gaff rig underwent several unsuccessful modifications until naval architect Charles Ernest Nicholson redesigned the rig with a wooden lower mast and adjusted the keel balance for America’s Cup competition. By 1924, *Lulworth*’s flaws had been rectified, and the yacht became a top performer across all British Big Class events. Between 1920 and 1930, *Lulworth* competed in 258 regattas, securing 59 first-place finishes—47 of which were achieved from 1924 onwards. In 1947, *Lulworth* was saved from the scrapyard by Richard Lucas and his wife. She was taken to the White Brothers shipyard for conversion and served as a houseboat on the River Hamble.

In 1990, her hull was transported to Italy—to the Classic Yacht Darsena shipyard in Viareggio—with the aim of restoration. A meticulous renovation project began in 2002, preserving 70% of the interior fittings and 80% of the steel frames. The 1926 sail plan was recreated, and *Lulworth* was relaunched in 2006; she is the world's largest cutter and boasts the tallest mast.
