The TIOGA, launched in 1936, finished first in 24 of her initial 37 races. Renamed TICONDEROGA in 1946, she went on to set more records than any ocean racer in history. However, the ship wasn't designed for racing, but rather genteel "afternoon sailing", with an uncommon elegance of form, clipper bow, raked rig, gilded garnish, and a bathtub. Such opulence and beauty, combined with speed, has made her incomparable. 130 full-color & b&w photos. Size D. 256 pp.
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.
