Sweeping to Victory after Pacific Trip

sweeping
The caption reads: The 51-foot yawl Dorade sweeps across the Diamond Head finish line – the first boat to arrive at Honolulu in the biennial Trans-Pacific yacht race from Santa Monica, California. The Dorade is owned by James Flood of the St. Francis Yacht Club, San Fancisco, and was skippered by Myron Spaulding. She won the 1931 trans-atlantic race to England, establishing a 17-day record. 13 days, 7 hours and 20 minutes was the time for the Pacific crossing. Photo dated 7/24/36

In retrospect, Dorade's sixth in Class that year (St. David's Lighthouse Division) was a warmup for the 2014 race in which she finished second. The race was part of the “Return to Blue Water” campaign, Matt and Pam's effort to repeat all of the major ocean races Dorade had won in the 1930s, including the Transatlantic, Newport Bermuda, Fastnet and TransPacific ocean races.
