Judging that the Young America yacht was the fastest of the regatta, Team Dennis Conner petitioned and was granted the right to use Young America in place of Stars & Stripes, in what proved to be an unsuccessful attempt to defend the America's Cup.
Young America was designed by Bruce Farr. The original graphics on her hull were created by Roy Lichtenstein and produced by students at RISD.[2]
In 2003, the yacht was donated to the Storm King Art Center in New York. In 2017, Kevin Mahaney, the skipper of the yacht in 1995, sponsored an exhibition at Middlebury College, his alma mater, including the yacht, which was moved from Storm King to Middlebury.[3]
