摘要

In 1936, Starling Burgess and Olin Stephens designed RANGER, the last and greatest J-class yacht to defend the AMERICA'S Cup. The following year, while overseeing RANGER's construction, Burgess secretly designed a 30' racing class called the Yankee One-Design (YOD). RANGER sailed just one magnificent season. Burgess had hoped his Yankee class would last 25 years, and I think he would have been pleased that the halcyon days of the Yankee racing fleets lasted well into the 1960s when lighter, cheaper fiberglass boats came to dominate the regattas. He'd have been less pleased to learn that the early YOD hulls developed broken frames after nnlv a few vears. But even with their hulls repaired by sister framing, this comfortable, elegant boat sailed so sweetly that the class quietly developed a passionate following. Just soaking in a Yankee's appearance can get you in trouble: more than a few of us have taken extraordinary measures to resurrect derelict hulls. That's why, 74 years after Burgess drew his revolutionary design, a handful of Yankees remain. I know—I too have been captivated, and that's why I commissioned a new Yankee, named GEMINI, to be built. She carries sail number Y 44 and is the first in four decades.
