After successfully staging the 1929 Gold Cup, the Red Bank Yacht Club, in order to insure itself a yearly event, came up with the idea for the National Sweepstakes. This race was for single engine boats without any real restrictions on boat design. Gold Cup boats were thus eligible as were other boats except the multiple engine boats of Gar Wood as well as the other multiple engine craft that competed for the Harmsworth Trophy.
The National Sweepstakes was also an evolution of the single engine or 2200 cubic inch class that came into being as an alternative to racing with the multiple engine boats of Gar Wood in the early twenties.
