			The International 10m2 Canoe was until recently the fastest singlehanded skiff on the water. It has a long and proud history and traces it's lineage, like the America's cup, from the later 19th century.
International Participation
			International competition began in 1885 when the New York Canoe Club invented the New York Challenge Cup (NYCC), which was, and still is, a large and rather shapeless sterling silver milk jug. It is now covered with over a centuries accumulation of winners names, necessitating its placement on a plinth in order to make room for more. The NYCC remains, after the America's Cup, the second oldest sailing trophy in the world, and certainly the most prestigious for small boats.
