About Red Witch II
Red Witch II (official name “S/V Jakab”) is a vintage 1907 America’s Cup racing yacht similar to those that raced in the 1908, 1912, and 1920 Olympics and in the America’s Cup from 1958 to 1987. This era of elegant racing yachts, with long, swooping bow and stern, and flush deck, are considered among the most beautiful and seaworthy sailboats ever designed.
These magnificent sailboats have been referred to as “12-Meter” racing yachts, a descriptor not of their overall length but, rather, the total calculation of their hull shape area, the total of the relevant dimensions could not exceed 12 meters. These boats still race in Antigua, Bermuda, and other prestigious races around the globe.
Red Witch II is an exact replica of the vintage 12-Meter racing yachts – except she carries safety gear as specified by the U.S. Coast Guard to assure the safety of passengers and crew. This vessel has 3 notable sister ships – one was owned by former Senator Ted Kennedy, another was owned by the Beach Boys, and a third sister ship circumnavigated the globe twice.
A sail aboard Red Witch II will be a memorable experience as she is exceptionally seaworthy, stable … and fast. Wherein fast equals fun – especially if only light wind. Speaking of wind, we love wind – the more the better. Yet sailing aboard Red Witch II in light air is also an exhilarating yet serene experience – truly unforgettable! Sailing aboard Red Witch II is comfortable and safe for all ages (0 to 114).
SAFETY RECORD
Capt. Andrew R. Sadock (100-Ton Ship’s Master with Sailing and Towing Endorsements) has safely carried 336,000 passengers from Chicago’s Navy Pier, Kenosha, Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, California.
Tall Ship Red Witch (aka S/V Jakab) is designed for ocean racing – fast passage in high waves and wind. Whereas Lake Michigan is renowned for rough sailing conditions on occasion, the prevailing conditions here are well suited for a vessel of Red Witch II’s characteristics and design.
