Launched as Tioga in 1936, this glorious ketch finished first in twenty-four of her initial
thirty-seven races. Renamed Ticonderoga in 1946, she went on to set more
elapsed-time records than any ocean racer in history. Ticonderoga held more than
thirty course records in races on several oceans, surpassing even the best
performances of the hard-driven nineteenth-century clipper ships. But
Ticonderoga wasn't designed for racing. Her creator, L. Francis Herreshoff,
shaped her for genteel "afternoon sailing," giving her uncommon elegance of form
with a clipper bow, elliptical transom, raked rig, gilded garnish, and a
bathtub. It is these qualities of unsurpassed opulence and beauty, combined with
her astonishing speed, that have made Big Ti so incomparable. More information
