History of the Puritan American Sloop 1885

Designed by Edward Burgess, the PURITAN – American Sloop 1885 was just under 100 feet long. Part of her ballast was fastened to the keel, making her very stable even in high winds. Like many other of her class, she was equipped with a sliding keel. In 1885 under the command of Captain Aubrey Crocker, she defended the America’s Cup against the English cutter Ginesta, and won in only two races.
