When Hope Goddard Iselin became the first woman to sail in the America’s Cup, on board Defender in 1895, her role was defined as part-photographer, part-timekeeper, part-peacemaker.
Strategically positioned between the crew doing the grunt work and the afterguard making decisions, the 27-year-old American socialite was a skilled, cool-headed sailor in her own right. Yet newspapers of the time called her “the mascot”; the good-luck charm on board two winning America’s Cup yachts.
What would Goddard Iselin think today – almost 130 years later – seeing women sail in their own America’s Cup regatta? Taking one serious step closer to crewing with their male counterparts for the world’s oldest sports trophy?
Maybe she’d say: ‘What took you so long?’

“AMERICA SALUTES QUEEN VICTORIA, AUGUST 22, 1851” by Russ Kramer (American, b. 1960)
The yacht AMERICA, having left the best of the British fleet far in her wake, closes in on the finish line in a match race around the Isle of Wight which would become known as the first “America’s Cup.” As the Royal Yacht VICTORIA AND ALBERT falls in alongside, New York Yacht Club Commodore and AMERICA owner John Cox Stevens orders the crew to dip her colors and doff their caps to the royal family in gesture of respect and sportsmanship.

Did you know that a lot of the potboiler murder mysteries/technothrillers listed in the “Fiction” section of CupInfo’s “America’s Cup Bibliography” are actually on Archive.org and as much as people joke about Wind being corny, they’re about a hundred times worse?

Oh, Waltz Me, Around Again, Tommy, Around, Around, Around

The America's Cup holds out alluring arms to Sir Tom Lipton.
The America's cup was the prize for a yachting race, which Lipton had tried for but failed to win multiple times.
