The yacht "Coronet" which to my recollection looks like the "Wanderer" more than not, though that's from an old memory of the painting. The basics are there, very large with triangle sails aloft and a low waterline. Notice the scale of the person standing near the stern to get an idea of its size. Later "J" size yachts, with stainless steel wire for rigging were even larger, well so it seems looking at the model in the now Long Island Maritime Museum.
Some recent thoughts and sites I've come up with and across. Everything on 11/26/04 and before was all entered on 11/26/04 from ClipCache Plus from XRayz Software.
