Desk-top model of 72' foiling catamaran, "Oracle Team USA," winner of the 34th America's Cup competition.
This is the yacht that scored one of the greatest comebacks in sailing - if not, all of sports' - history. The Oracle racing team was down by a deficit of 0-7 wins against Emirates Team New Zealand (ETNZ). Amazingly, Oracle Team USA came back to win 8 straight races on San Francisco Bay in September 2013 - resulting in a successful defense of the America's Cup in the AC-34 regatta.
Measures 9.75" L x 5.5" W x 16" H. Ships encased in sealed acrylic protective case. Imported.
