The Australia II was the first yacht to take the coveted America's Cup away from the U.S. in 140 years of yacht racing. This model is one of the first kits of the Victor Cup Series and a companion to the Stars & Stripes. A highly competitive boat, this semi-scale model is great for racing against our Stars & Stripes. With these two models, you and your friends can hold your own version of the America's Cup. With the same sailing characteristics as the Stars & Stripes, the skill of the skipper will be the only thing that separates the Victor from the Vanquished.
