"I feel Columbia was the better boat of the two. But I think the difference was magnified by the amount of competition we got from the other boats in the defender trials; Columbia's performance would not have been anything like as outstanding if we had not had to beat those other boats."

These were the humble words that Olin Stephens, the designer of Columbia, used to explain the lightning victory of his yacht over the British challenger Sceptre.

In the 17th America's Cup Match, Sceptre lost without putting up much of a fight, overwhelmed by the complete package of Columbia and her star crew.
