NOTES AMERICA-SCOOP :

As agreed in the contract, the shipyard has organized trials for the America. It's against the Maria, Commodore Stevens' fast sloop, which, in smooth water in the neighborhood of Sandy Hook, easily outsailed the new schooner. She is said to have sailed completely around the schooner three times in a short distance.

This did not discourage the owner of the America who thought that Maria would have distanced any opponent in these circumstances.
