The 70' America's Cup class twelve metre, Northern Light, is the longest and most graceful in the fleet. She was built in 1938 during the golden era of yachting when the mansions of Newport bustled with their summer residents and yacht racing was carried out in the grand tradition.

Upon boarding Northern Light, you will notice her spacious deck layout and her large mahogany cockpit which offers comfortable seating. The polished brass glistens and the 91' original spruce mast soars overhead. Her interior is beautifully restored with an enclosed private head, a spacious main salon with seating for all and a fully equipped galley which is ideal for your catering needs.

Her professional crew of three will work with you and those who wish to participate in hoisting, grinding and trimming of the sails. Take command of her polished bronze helm and feel the thrill as she slices through the water at speed. You may choose from three levels of intensity for guest involvement. No previous sailing experience is necessary for any level of participation.

Northern Light was a gift to 24-year old Lee Loomis, Jr., from his father in 1938 as an incentive to keep his son from going off to Europe where war was eminent.
