History: Designed and built by Scarano Boat Inc. in Albany, N.Y., the America 2.0 had big shoes to fill. Its 1995 predecessor, the 139-foot America (now berthed in Santa Barbara) won the hearts and minds of many islanders on and off the docks. That ship replicated the original America, a 101-foot sailing vessel that won an 1851 race against 15 yachts of the Royal Yacht Squadron in what would become known forever as the "America's Cup" in honor of that ship. The 1851 original America ended up a blockade-runner for the Confederacy and after the Yankees seized her, became a blockade-buster for the federals. She remained government property until falling victim to a shed collapse in 1945, and with the shed was scrapped and burned. A 170 year history with two replicas built.
America 2.0 (105 feet) replaced the 1995 replica schooner America (139 feet). The '95 replica is now berthed in Santa Barbara, California
The America 2.0, the Adirondack III, the Western Union, the Appledore and many other tall ships are credited with helping
to keep Key West's maritime traditions alive for years to come

Mr. Ray's original schooner America 1995 maiden voyage www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Aw3Fokh32s
[On a personal note; I did work on Mr. Ray's two yachts and his hotel before he built his replica of The America. I always remember him talking about his dream of building it. On a sad note, he passed away shortly after fulfilling his dream, and I deeply miss him. When his vessel arrived in Fort Lauderdale, I met with him and we made arrangements for me to do work on its interior when he returned from South America in the Spring. He passed away and never made it back, and the vessel was sold to a charter company in Key West, shortly thereafter. A great man. He had a dream...and he made it happen. Thanks for the memories, Mr Ray. RIP, my dear friend.]
