As a result of the preliminary cup defense trials, the observation ones and the cruise racing, there is little to choose between Yankee and Rainbow when it comes to figuring contests won. Eliminating Vanitie, and getting down to the boat-for-boat results between the defense yachts, Yankee has come out ahead twelve times, Rainbow ten and Weetamoe three.
Yankee won only one of the preliminary trials, took eight of the observation ones and three cruise contests. Rainbow won five of the preliminaries, three of the observation ones and both the Astor and King's Cups. Weetamoe won one observation race and came in ahead of the two others on two cruise runs, on which Vanitie finished first.
