Big Hearted Lionheart Crew Wins America's Cup J Class Regatta<br />
<br />
Emerging in second place from a dramatic, high stakes final race which was laden with tension until the final run to the finish on a tight, compact race course off Bermuda's Saint Georges, Lionheart clinched the first ever America's Cup J Class Regatta.<br />
<br />
Carrying a one point lead and with the regatta title in their grasp, they started flat footed off the line, looking to have done all they could to hand the regatta win to title rivals Hanuman. But the Lionheart crew stuck to their task in the fickle, shifty breeze to climb back into contention at the last turn.<br />
<br />
When Hanuman were dramatically given a penalty for a rules infringement on the approach to the last buoy, the Lionheart crew caught the scent of the overall win that they have worked so hard for over the last three years, and capitalised.<br />
<br />
Down the last run they passed the unfortunate leaders Topaz but with Hanuman astern and Velsheda winning the series' fifth and final race not only did they come right back from the awful start but they extended their margin to three winning points.<br />
<br />
And Velsheda's second win of the regatta, 2,1 for the day, proved critical, earning them the runners up position tie break from the Hanuman.<br />
<br />
When they won the America's Cup Superyacht Regatta last week, Lionheart served notice that they are on form, triumphing in the 'warm up regatta' as tactician Bouwe Bekking joked of the three coastal course format.<br />
<br />
"Nobody ever said don't win the practice regatta." Grinned Bekking today.<br />
<br />
The crew which has been together since 2012 add the Bermuda class victory to three back to back major titles in 2014, the Menorca Maxi J Class, Palma's Supery

  • Original owner-skipper Harold Vanderbilt (1884-1970), was born to extreme wealth and used it wisely, investing in J Class yachts for the defence of the America’s Cup. A Harvard Law graduate, he successfully defended the America’s Cup three times with Enterprise (1930), Rainbow (1934), and the mighty Ranger (1937). A good sailor and tactician, Vanderbilt, helmed for all three defences, with tactician Sherman Hoyt. One of his greatest successes was against Endeavour in 1934, where he came back from a 2:0 start to win the next three races, defeating one of the strongest challenges to the Cup up to that point. Since her defence of the America’s Cup against Endeavour ll, Ranger has been referred to as the ‘Super J’.<br />
<br />
By the end of 1941, Enterprise and Ranger, which had been laid up with all the other US Js, were scrapped.<br />
<br />
The Ranger that sails today is a replica built to the original lines drawings in steel and launched at the Danish Yacht shipyard in Skagen, Denmark in 2003 recreating the look and feel of the existing J Class yachts Shamrock, Endeavour and Velsheda. The project was in development from September 1999 and its team of designers, naval architects and industry specialists designed and built Ranger to Lloyds Classification, the MCA Code of Practice, for the safety of large commercial yachts, and the J Class Association Rules. Ranger had an extensive refit led by Dykstra Naval Architects to optimise her performance in 2005/2006.

The Ranger that sails today is a replica built to the original lines drawings in steel and launched at the Danish Yacht shipyard in Skagen, Denmark in 2003 recreating the look and feel of the existing J Class yachts Shamrock, Endeavour and Velsheda. The project was in development from September 1999 and its team of designers, naval architects and industry specialists designed and built Ranger to Lloyds Classification, the MCA Code of Practice, for the safety of large commercial yachts, and the J Class Association Rules. Ranger had an extensive refit led by Dykstra Naval Architects to optimise her performance in 2005/2006.

  • Original owner-skipper Harold Vanderbilt (1884-1970), was born to extreme wealth and used it wisely, investing in J Class yachts for the defence of the America’s Cup. A Harvard Law graduate, he successfully defended the America’s Cup three times with Enterprise (1930), Rainbow (1934), and the mighty Ranger (1937). A good sailor and tactician, Vanderbilt, helmed for all three defences, with tactician Sherman Hoyt. One of his greatest successes was against Endeavour in 1934, where he came back from a 2:0 start to win the next three races, defeating one of the strongest challenges to the Cup up to that point. Since her defence of the America’s Cup against Endeavour ll, Ranger has been referred to as the ‘Super J’.<br />

  • In 1930 Harold Vanderbilt achieved the pinnacle of yacht racing success by defending the America’s Cup in the J-class ‘Enterprise’. His victory put him on the cover of the September 15 1930, issue of Time magazine. In 1934 he faced a dangerous challenger in Endeavour that he actually challenged with Rainbow.<br />
<br />
Vanderbilt contacted Sparkman & Stephens to discuss the possibility of a new J Yacht under the Universal Rule. It was agreed that Starling Burgess and Olin Stephens would each present four designs and Vanderbilt funded the operation. The project that would eventually produce ‘Ranger’ and ‘Lionheart’ had started.<br />
<br />
Starling Burgess and Olin Stephens produced four designs for Vanderbilt; Models 77 A to F and two combinations. Models were built on a scale 1/24 and for the first time those models were tested in towing-tanks. When the trials were finished, the team concluded that 77-C either outperformed its rivals or came very close to the best.<br />
<br />
The selected model 77-C was used to built ‘Ranger’, the first ‘Super-J’. The achievements of ‘Ranger’ have been exceptional. She sailed thirty-four times and won thirty-two times.<br />
<br />
‘Ranger’ was scrapped in 1941 but was reborn in the form of a replica in summer 2003<br />
<br />
Fast forward to 2005 and Andre Hoek of Hoek Design got involved analysing the potential of the seven remaining hulls designed by Burgess and Stephens for the Vanderbilt syndicate. Using both state of the art computer models and now traditional water tank testing, Hoek advised to use hull 77-F as the one with the biggest potential. It is hull 77-F that has now been built as Lionheart, 75 years after she was conceived on the drawing boards.<br />
<br />
The hull was eventually build by Freddie Bloemsma and Claassen Jachtbouw was responsible for building the yacht. She was launched 5 years after the project started, in the summer of 2010. She arrived at the racing scene in 2012 and showed great potential by winning the Kings 100 Guineas Cup in Cow

Big Hearted Lionheart Crew Wins America's Cup J Class Regatta<br />
<br />
Emerging in second place from a dramatic, high stakes final race which was laden with tension until the final run to the finish on a tight, compact race course off Bermuda's Saint Georges, Lionheart clinched the first ever America's Cup J Class Regatta.<br />
<br />
Carrying a one point lead and with the regatta title in their grasp, they started flat footed off the line, looking to have done all they could to hand the regatta win to title rivals Hanuman. But the Lionheart crew stuck to their task in the fickle, shifty breeze to climb back into contention at the last turn.<br />
<br />
When Hanuman were dramatically given a penalty for a rules infringement on the approach to the last buoy, the Lionheart crew caught the scent of the overall win that they have worked so hard for over the last three years, and capitalised.<br />
<br />
Down the last run they passed the unfortunate leaders Topaz but with Hanuman astern and Velsheda winning the series' fifth and final race not only did they come right back from the awful start but they extended their margin to three winning points.<br />
<br />
And Velsheda's second win of the regatta, 2,1 for the day, proved critical, earning them the runners up position tie break from the Hanuman.<br />
<br />
When they won the America's Cup Superyacht Regatta last week, Lionheart served notice that they are on form, triumphing in the 'warm up regatta' as tactician Bouwe Bekking joked of the three coastal course format.<br />
<br />
"Nobody ever said don't win the practice regatta." Grinned Bekking today.<br />
<br />
The crew which has been together since 2012 add the Bermuda class victory to three back to back major titles in 2014, the Menorca Maxi J Class, Palma's Supery

Big Hearted Lionheart Crew Wins America's Cup J Class Regatta<br />
<br />
Emerging in second place from a dramatic, high stakes final race which was laden with tension until the final run to the finish on a tight, compact race course off Bermuda's Saint Georges, Lionheart clinched the first ever America's Cup J Class Regatta.<br />
<br />
Carrying a one point lead and with the regatta title in their grasp, they started flat footed off the line, looking to have done all they could to hand the regatta win to title rivals Hanuman. But the Lionheart crew stuck to their task in the fickle, shifty breeze to climb back into contention at the last turn.<br />
<br />
When Hanuman were dramatically given a penalty for a rules infringement on the approach to the last buoy, the Lionheart crew caught the scent of the overall win that they have worked so hard for over the last three years, and capitalised.<br />
<br />
Down the last run they passed the unfortunate leaders Topaz but with Hanuman astern and Velsheda winning the series' fifth and final race not only did they come right back from the awful start but they extended their margin to three winning points.<br />
<br />
And Velsheda's second win of the regatta, 2,1 for the day, proved critical, earning them the runners up position tie break from the Hanuman.<br />
<br />
When they won the America's Cup Superyacht Regatta last week, Lionheart served notice that they are on form, triumphing in the 'warm up regatta' as tactician Bouwe Bekking joked of the three coastal course format.<br />

Big Hearted Lionheart Crew Wins America's Cup J Class Regatta<br />
<br />
Emerging in second place from a dramatic, high stakes final race which was laden with tension until the final run to the finish on a tight, compact race course off Bermuda's Saint Georges, Lionheart clinched the first ever America's Cup J Class Regatta.<br />
<br />
Carrying a one point lead and with the regatta title in their grasp, they started flat footed off the line, looking to have done all they could to hand the regatta win to title rivals Hanuman. But the Lionheart crew stuck to their task in the fickle, shifty breeze to climb back into contention at the last turn.<br />
<br />
When Hanuman were dramatically given a penalty for a rules infringement on the approach to the last buoy, the Lionheart crew caught the scent of the overall win that they have worked so hard for over the last three years, and capitalised.<br />
<br />
Down the last run they passed the unfortunate leaders Topaz but with Hanuman astern and Velsheda winning the series' fifth and final race not only did they come right back from the awful start but they extended their margin to three winning points.<br />
<br />
And Velsheda's second win of the regatta, 2,1 for the day, proved critical, earning them the runners up position tie break from the Hanuman.<br />
<br />
When they won the America's Cup Superyacht Regatta last week, Lionheart served notice that they are on form, triumphing in the 'warm up regatta' as tactician Bouwe Bekking joked of the three coastal course format.<br />
<br />
"Nobody ever said don't win the practice regatta." Grinned Bekking today.<br />
<br />
The crew which has been together since 2012 add the Bermuda class victory to three back to back major titles in 2014, the Menorca Maxi J Class, Palma's Supery
