A twelve-metre yacht that defended the America’s Cup twice, with the rudder separated from the keel.

Intrepid won the America’s Cup in 1967 and 1970. Separating the rudder from the keel was new for twelve-metres and was soon copied by others.

Materials: Wood; sloop-rigged twelve-metre

Manufacture: Built at Minneford Yacht Yard on City Island, New York.
