A google search shows that the schooner "Goodwill"
listed at 161' competed twice in the Transpac,
with R. Larrabee.

I also found this blurb from

http://www.talesofbalboa.com/backissues2005/11-05.html

"the two largest sailing ships in Newport were
Ralph Larabee's Goodwill and the schooner Pioneer.
Both were moored in the Lido area. The Goodwill
sunk off Mexico. What ever happened to Pioneer?"

hmm...
