This remarkable vessel, captained by seamen who possessed unwavering determination and skill, stood as a symbol of excellence on the open seas. Owned by Henry G. Peabody (Henry Greenwood), an esteemed figure in yachting history, Vigilant was a force to be reckoned with. With her sleek design and powerful sails, she epitomized elegance and speed. The start of the race brought forth intense anticipation as Vigilant faced off against her rival Valkyrie II. The America's Cup races had never seen such fierce competition before.

With hearts pounding and adrenaline rushing through their veins, both crews set sail towards victory. The sight of Vigilant gracefully cutting through the waves left spectators awestruck.

As they raced side by side after the start, it became evident that this would be an unforgettable battle between two legendary yachts. After crossing the starting line triumphantly, Peabody guided Vigilant with precision and finesse throughout the regatta. Her performance was nothing short of extraordinary; she seemed almost untouchable as she surged ahead towards glory.
