AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
yacht Defiance was built in 1914 (and not in 1920) by George Owen for the selection of the American defender for the America's Cup, while the year 1920 corresponds to the postponement of this same event due to World War I.
If you were referring to the emblematic century-old sailing yacht of 1920 navigating the Mediterranean for ecological missions and classic regattas, it is rather the Bermudian ketch Wiki 1920.
The Yacht Defiance (1914/1920)
• Design: Drawn by the architect George Owen for a syndicate of sportsmen led by George M. Pynchon.
• Context: Built to participate in the selection trials of the American challenger (the defender) against the Cup challenger.
• Historical link with 1920: Initially planned for 1914, the Cup races were postponed and ultimately took place in 1920 (won by the yacht Resolute).
