Busy Deck on the America

"The 139-foot America is a replica of the low black schooner famous for winning the historic Royal Yacht Squadron's "100 Guinea Cup" race around the Isle of Wight.
That trophy was donated to the New York Yacht Club to be held as a challenge trophy, and it came to be known as the America's Cup."

I am posting this image of a more traditional America's Cup boat after posting a modern one yesterday.
This elicited some comments about the catamarans used nowadays. See below:
