Some sailboats for yawl. Bermuda. I think it has one sail, hard to tell at this angle. I could be wrong. OK, I was wrong about this one. Now it's online, it's easier to see the three masts. Forgive me.   US in the Philippines. The boat is the one on the left.   and an ice boat (but it does only have one sail) from the US of A.  |

nethryk's Slania-engraved beauty from the Faroes is superb. That water effect is just magical. james just sneaks in a single-master off the starboard side of the three-master to save the day on the Hamilton Harbor scene.  |

The America's Cup is a trophy awarded to the winner of the America's Cup match races between two yachts. One yacht, known as the defender, represents the yacht club that currently holds the America's Cup and the second yacht, known as the challenger, represents the yacht club that is challenging for the cup. The America's Cup is the oldest active trophy in international sport. The trophy was originally awarded in 1851 by the Royal Yacht Squadron for a race around the Isle of Wight, which was won by the schooner America. The trophy was renamed the America's Cup after the boat and was donated to the New York Yacht Club (NYYC) under the terms of the Deed of Gift, which made the cup available for perpetual international competition.   |

I'd say the yacht behind the white one is operating with a bit of a disadvantage. That's a very small sail it has. |
