“Dorade sailed very well in the race this weekend, and I received numerous comments, including from Dennis Conner, on how well she sailed the course,” said 2017 Yesteryear Regatta Chairman Greg Stewart. Stewart, a naval architect has been working with Dorade since 2007 and he has also been frequent crew member aboard her. “For this year’s regatta we secured a fleet of 31 boats, racing in six classes. The conditions were perfect for all the boats and there was a nice mixing of boat types in the results.”

The Sparkman & Stephens Perpetual Trophy is a block, donated by Olin J. Stephens II, from the 1937 J-Boat Ranger, which Stephens co-designed with Starling Burgess. Ranger owner Harold Vanderbilt gave this block to Olin in the fall of 1937 as a token of thanks for a very successful season of racing. Ranger is known as the greatest J-Boat to be built, with a short but very successful racing career.
