This is ”The Auld Mug” which was produced for the 50th anniversary of the Fastnet. Owners Matt Brooks and Pam Rorke Levy met Nick Palmer up in Vancouver last week when they were giving a presentation at the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club. A friend of Palmer’s, who is part of the Royal Ocean Racing Club, gave him the mug, which features the most famous winners of the Fastnet Race, including Dorade.
Here is the list Palmer provided of the featured yachts:
Jolie Brise ’25
Dorade ’31, ’33
