Did you know that President Kennedy watched the 1962 America's Cup Races from the deck of Destroyer Kennedy?

A 12-METER PRIMER: When the exorbitant expense of J-Boats drove them from competition as an America's Cup class after the Second World War, the Royal Yacht Squadron suggested contesting the cup in an International Rule 12-Meter. The British 12-Meter, a class that draws its title from the formula governing its design, first appeared in 1907 but didn't become popular in America until two decades later. The first 12-Meter defense of the Cup occurred in 1958 when Sceptre lost to Columbia, a yacht considered by many to be the most elegant example of the class.
