This print takes us back to the historic moment of the Americas Cup Sailboats trial in Newport, Rhode Island, in 1962. The image beautifully captures the intense competition between Gretel, the Australian Americas Cup challenger, and Vim, representing America. As they sail neck and neck on this monumental day for Gretel's first trial sail in the United States, both boats showcase their impressive speed and agility. The monochromatic tones add a timeless quality to this snapshot of sporting history. Against the backdrop of Newport's picturesque coastline, we see these magnificent yachts harnessing wind power with their billowing sails and colorful spinakers. The determination etched on the faces of sailors aboard each boat reflects their unwavering commitment to victory. Intriguingly, people can be seen in the background as witnesses to this thrilling race.
