Marine Art Giclée Print from an Original Oil Painting
Nefretiti, named for an Egyptian Queen, was designed and skippered by the multi-talented Ted Hood for the Boston Yacht Club in 1962. That year, Nefretiti came very close to defending the America's Cup. She won the early Defender trials, but lost out to Weatherly
in the lighter breezes of August. As it turned out, Weatherly went on to win the America's Cup that year. Following her Cup challenge, Nefretiti was converted
for cruising and left Newport to traverse the globe. She crossed the Atlantic to the Mediterranean and chartered out of Greece for several years. By 1983 she was
back in Newport as a spectator, where she viewed the last America's Cup series held there.
