Is a J class yacht, designed by Starling Burgess for Harold S Vanederbilt in 1930, to successfully defend the America's cup. The hull was double skinned, and she had a duralimun mast 16'2" long and made with about 80,000-100,000 rivets. One crew member's job was to keep the mast repaired. The mast weighed 4,000lbs. These boats were very expensive and carried huge crews
