America's cup hall of fame.
The America's Cup Hall of Fame honors individuals who have made outstanding contributions to yachting's most distinguished competition.
The Hall of Fame was founded in 1992 under the auspices of the Herreshoff Marine Museum by Halsey Herreshoff, a four-time America's Cup defender and grandson of legendary yacht designer Nathanael Herreshoff.
Over ninety legends of the Cup have been inducted into the Hall. Candidates eligible for consideration include members of the crew, designers, builders, syndicate leaders, supporters, chroniclers, and other individuals of merit. Each nominee is judged on the basis of outstanding ability, international recognition, character, performance, and contributions to the sport. The members of the Selection Committee are persons intimate with the history and traditions of America's Cup and committed to the integrity of the Hall of Fame.
The museum of the Hall of Fame is located on the grounds of the former Herreshoff Manufacturing Company of Bristol, Rhode Island, where yachts were built for eight consecutive America's Cup defenses between 1893 and 1934. Its collection include plaques honoring the inductees; half-hull models of challengers and defenders; artifacts including spars, steering wheels, and tank test model hulls; and special exhibits about the America's Cup.

AMERICA'S CUP WINNERS
Note : The yacht AMERICA won the Royal Yacht Squadron ₤100 Cup on August 22nd, 1851. Her surviving owners presented the Cup to the New York Yacht Club in 1857 under the condition that it serves as a perpetual challenge prize for international yacht racing. The Cup was subsequently renamed after the first winning yacht, AMERICA.

Concept, Structure, Goals
About the foundation.
The 2nd Wind Foundation, a Rhode Island non-profit corporation, was created to bring the New England coastal environment, its harbors, its shoreline, its wildlife, its fish and its birds, and its rich coastal resources to the lives of the mobility impaired public impacted by neurological disorders, young or elderly of all genders, races and ethnicities.
If you are interested in arranging a 1/2 day coastal excursion onboard one of our yachts for a mobility impaired person, send us an email detailing the applicant, their age and mobility impairment and a doctor’s note permitting this activity
Membership / Sponsorship
Interested in becoming a Member/ Sponsor to support our research into neurological disorders, and service agencies addressing other mobility disabling conditions?
The 2nd Wind Foundation and the Shake-A-Leg Foundation ( Miami) originally from Jamestown RI, are considering a joint venture to offer both sail training and power boat excursions for disabled and mobility impaired youth from a new Ri base of operations. The two Foundations are exploring the idea of pairing up to create an exciting new recreational and learning facility for disabled and mobility impaired youth in Rhode Island.
Junior Squadron Members
Are you between the ages of 13 and 17, a good swimmer, live reasonably close to our home base, and your parent is a Foundation sponsor who approves of you joining our program, send us an email telling us about yourself and your availability during the summer months. We have limited space and this won’t be a full time summer activity, but if you are selected you will have a few really fun days joining us as crew onboard - email us for more information.

Herreshoff Eagle
Herreshoff Eagle is a 22 ′ 0 ″ / 6.7 m monohull sailboat designed by Halsey Herreshoff and built by Nowak and Williams starting in 1976.
Rig and Sails
Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3
- SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D : Displacement in pounds.
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
Displacement / Length Ratio
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
Comfort Ratio
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
Capsize Screening Formula
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

It was also later built by Squadron Yachts of Bristol, Rhode Island and Nauset Marine of Orleans, Massachusetts, but it is now out of production. The molds and tooling were acquired by Com-Pac Yachts in about 2002 and the design was developed into the Com-Pac Horizon Cat. It was also developed into the Herreshoff Eagle in 1976.
