Untitled document The Intrepid was designed by Olin Stephens, a 12-metre class yacht, won the American Cup in 1967 and 1970.

Olin Stephens built Intrepid out of double-planked mahogany on white oak frames. She had many innovative features above and below deck. Above deck, the Intrepid had a very low boon, which caused an “end-plate effect” that made the mainsail more efficient. Below deck features included a rudder separated from the keel and a trim tab. This became the general underbody type used on all Cup boats until more new technological advances such as the 12-metre Australia II’s winged keel in 1983.

The Intrepid was Skippered by Emil “Bus” Mosbacher, Intrepid won the America’s Cup in 1967 against Australian challenger Dame Pattie. In 1970, Britton Chance Jr. redesigned Intrepid and she defeated another Australian challenger, Gretel II with Bill Ficker as captain.

Despite what one would call heavy wooden constructed ship, the Intrepid remained competitive, even against lighter aluminum yachts in 12-metre category. Eventually being redesigned by her original owner, Olin Stephen’s, the boat was shy one race of becoming the only three time America’s Cup defender in history. Soon after retirement, the boat underwent a two year structural renovation, in which today is available for a charter out near Rhode Island.
