Reliance, 1903
Designed by Nathaniel Herreshoff. 1903. Cup Defender. The design took advantage of a loophole in the Seawanhaka '90-foot' rating rule, to produce a racing yacht with long overhangs at each end, so that when heeled over, her waterline length (and therefore her speed) increased dramatically (as above!)You can see in photo below/below that LOA (201') is quite different that LWL (90').
