1999 Custom International Americas Cup Class USCG Certified 20 pax

USA 76 is an 84-foot International America's Cup Class racing yacht built in 1999 from carbon fiber composite. Designed and campaigned by Oracle Racing, she competed in the 2003 Louis Vuitton Cup in Auckland, New Zealand. The yacht features a fractional racing sloop rig with a high-tech carbon mast, a deep fin bulb keel optimized for stability and lift, and a narrow 12-foot beam engineered for speed. She is powered by a single 75 horsepower Yanmar diesel engine.

What distinguishes this boat is her active U.S. Coast Guard Passenger Vessel Certification—an extremely rare credential among ex-America's Cup yachts. This certification permits her to operate legally for commercial charters and passenger services in the United States. The hull and rig construction reflect cutting-edge hydrodynamic research and advanced composite methods developed for competitive sailing at the highest level.

USA 76 has been professionally operated and maintained in San Francisco Bay, with regular servicing including running rigging upgrades, spar inspections, carbon structure care, and annual Coast Guard inspections. She remains fully operational and capable of immediate commercial service. Her performance characteristics remain competitive with modern grand-prix racing yachts.
