In 1851 the Schooner America, from the New York Yacht Club, beat the fifteen best British yachts in a race round the Isle of Wight. The winning club then sent out a challenge to yachtmen from all over the world, offering the cup it had won to any yacht capable of defeating the America, and thus was born the most famous sailing competition, "The America's Cup".
