The America’s Cup Hall of Fame induction was held at the New York Yacht Club’s magnificent Model Room. Measuring forty-five feet wide and ninety-six feet deep, the Model Room holds most of the Club’s collection of approximately 1,300 models—including fully-rigged models of Cup challengers and defenders. The galleon-style bay windows and the carvings of dolphins, shells, and clouds punctuated with lightning bolts, create the impression, as one visitor observed, that “except for the absence of motion, one might fancy oneself at sea.” - Hall of Fame induction for Ernesto Bertarelli Alinghi and Lord Dunraven
