NEW YORK, NY, September 13, 2008 -- Olin J. Stephens, Member #1 on the
New York Yacht Club's Seniority List, passed away this weekend. He
joined the NYYC in 1930, or 78 years ago. He designed the winners of a
total of eight of the nine America's Cup matches between 1937 and
1980.
Oh my, that's sad news. Well, in his honor, I was sailing this weekend.
