BMW Oracle: Building a world champion in Anacortes

Learn a bit about the amazing specifications of this space-age sailing craft and about the cloak-and-dagger nature of the construction.

The exhibit includes a large wind-tunnel model of the USA 17, samples of the carbon composites used in its construction, and pieces that were removed to make it faster.

The Maritime Heritage Center is at 703 R Ave. next door to the W.T. Preston steamboat. Admission is free.
