Marblehead also boasts 150 years of yachting history. The 94-foot sloop Puritan, out of the Eastern Yacht Club, successfully defended the America’s Cup in 1885 against challenger Genesta of the British Royal Yacht Squadron... followed in two successive years by Mayflower's win in 1886 and Volunteer's in 1887. Famed shipbuilders hailing from Marblehead include Edward and Starling Burgess, Nathanael and L. Francis Herreshoff, Ray Hunt and Ted Hood. Hood, a yacht designer and sail maker, was also the winning skipper of the 1974 America's Cup aboard the 12 Meter Courageous, and was elected to the America's Cup Hall of Fame in 1993.
