Previous owner's stamp is also on the half-title page. Robert N. Bavier, Jr. was an America's Cup winning helmsman and one of the sport's leaders for many years. He first raced at the Larchmont (N.Y.) YC on Long Island Sound, was a top junior sailor, and won the intercollegiate sailing championship. After Navy duty during World War II, he joined the staff of Yachting magazine, where he spent all his working life before retiring to South Carolina. Widely considered one of the East Coast's best racing sailors, Bavier sailed at the top of highly competitive fleets of International One-Designs, racer-cruisers, and other classes on Western Long Island Sound. He was a master of tactics and had an uncanny ability to sniff out wind shifts. In 1964 he was in the afterguard of the 12-Meter Constellation in the early rounds of the America's Cup defender's trials, when the boat was regularly beaten by American Eagle. After Bavier was named helmsman, Constellation's performance improved dramatically, and she won the trials and then the Cup races in a sweep over the English challenger Sovereign. As successful as he was as a racing helmsman, Bavier's place in yachting history was assured by his leadership of and influence on the pastime of yachting as it underwent its tremendous post-war expansion. From the 1940s to the late '70s, he was at the sport's center. Annapolis Yacht Sales was started in 1953 by Lawrence Hartge, and was still an active business enterprise in 2022. The America's Cup, informally known as the Auld Mug, is a trophy awarded in the sport of sailing. It is the oldest international competition still operating in any sport. ] America's Cup match races are held between two sailing yachts: one from the yacht club that currently holds the trophy (known as the defender) and the other from the yacht club that is challenging for the cup (the challenger). There is no fixed schedule, with matches held several years apart on dates agreed between the defender and the challenger. The cup was originally known as the 'R.Y.S. £100 Cup', awarded in 1851 by the British Royal Yacht Squadron for a race around the Isle of Wight in the United Kingdom. The winning yacht was a schooner called America, owned by a syndicate of members from the New York Yacht Club (NYYC). In 1857, the syndicate permanently donated the trophy to the NYYC, under a Deed of Gift that renamed the trophy as the 'America's Cup' after the first winner and required it be made available for perpetual international competition. Constellation was designed by Olin J. Stephens, who had already designed America's Cup winners such as the "J" Class Ranger (1937) and the Twelve Metre Class Columbia (1958). Constellation had a wooden hull and an overall sail area of around 1690 square metres. Skipper R.N. Bavier led Constellation to victory over Sovereign, the British contender.
