Check out the very interesting feature that is currently the lead story on the ACM website about 1893 defense candidates Pilgrim (below) and Jubilee. Quoting from the story by Jacques Taglang with translation from the original French by Peter Rusch, "[Pilgrim and Jubilee] were, in 1893, exceptional and audacious craft. To observe closely their modern offspring such as the Tempest class, the Soling and the America’s Cup Class, is to see the power of this early design breakthrough."


Back to the Future: 1893 Defense candidate Pilgrim, a forerunner to
today's AC class.
