The Boats

I hope to include eventually references to many different boats that are related, even if only remotely, to the 12 Metre boats that challenged for the America's Cup. That includes boats of the actual International America's Cup Class (IACC) that replaced the 12-Metre rule after the 1987 races.

The America's Cup type or style of boats currently sailing in my area are the Victoria's, an EC12, a Victor Model Products Australia II, which also happens to be the boat that started my passion for the 12's, an Anderson 1-metre, a couple of Nautic12's and as from the date of her initial launch on the 18th August 2007, now also an A2 Class Australia II.. 

There is also a Victor Products "Stars & Stripes" 12-Metre yacht that is still waiting to be built.  As at the end of August 2007, this will be sooner than later. I have just extracted it from its secure spot in the garage where it has been residing for the last four years and I most definitely will put up on this site progressive building photo's.


Another interesting boat below, now available in Australia from Model Flight and HStore.

Thunder Tiger have just released a new boat. They are the makers of the universally popular Victoria and the Voyager and Odyssey boats as well. They do make a quality product. It is the precursor to NZL 92 that was sailed in the finals of the 2007 America's Cup Match.
