• Schooner: A Classic Sailboat with Timeless Elegance

1. Introduction

Sailing has always captivated the human imagination, and one type of sailboat that has left an indelible mark in maritime history is the schooner. With its distinctive design and graceful sails, the schooner embodies timeless elegance and the romance of the open sea. In this article, we will explore the definition of a schooner, its history, anatomy, types, famous examples, modern relevance, and more. Join us on this voyage as we delve into the world of schooners.

2. Definition of a Schooner

A schooner is a type of sailing vessel characterized by its unique sail plan. Unlike other sailboats, a schooner has multiple masts, with the forward mast being shorter than the aft mast. The sails on a schooner are typically fore-and-aft rigged, meaning they run parallel to the length of the boat, allowing for efficient sailing against the wind. Schooners come in various sizes, from small pleasure craft to large commercial vessels.

3. History and Evolution

The history of the schooner can be traced back to the early 18th century. Its design is believed to have originated in the Netherlands and spread throughout Europe and North America. The schooner quickly gained popularity due to its versatility and speed. It was widely used for various purposes, including fishing, cargo transportation, and even as private yachts for the wealthy.

4. Anatomy of a Schooner

To understand the anatomy of a schooner, let's explore its key components:

• Hull: The hull of a schooner is the main body of the boat, providing buoyancy and stability. It can be made of wood, steel, or fiberglass.
• Masts: A schooner typically has two or more masts, with the aft mast, known as the mainmast, being taller than the forward mast, called the foremast.
• Sails: The sails on a schooner are arranged in a fore-and-aft configuration. Common types of sails found on a schooner include the mainsail, foresail, jib, staysail, and topsail.
• Rigging: Schooners have intricate rigging systems that support the masts and control the sails. This includes various lines, ropes, and pulleys.
• Deck: The deck is the horizontal surface on the schooner where crew members move and work. It may feature cabins, hatches, and other structures.
• Steering Mechanism: Schooners use a rudder system to control their direction, allowing the sailors to navigate through the water.

5. Types of Schooners

Schooners can be classified into different types based on their size, rigging, and purpose. Some common types of schooners include:

• Baltimore Clipper: A sleek and fast schooner popularized in the mid-19th century.
• Gaff Topsail Schooner: A schooner with a gaff-rigged topsail, providing additional sail area.
• Schooner Yacht: Luxurious schooners designed for pleasure sailing and racing.
• Two-Masted Schooner: Schooners with two masts, offering a balanced sail plan.
• Three-Masted Schooner: Larger schooners with three masts, commonly used for commercial purposes.

6. Famous Schooners in History

Throughout history, numerous schooners have gained fame for their remarkable voyages and contributions to maritime heritage. Some notable examples include:

• The America: A schooner that won the first America's Cup yacht race in 1851, setting the stage for modern yacht racing.
• The Bluenose: A Canadian fishing and racing schooner celebrated for its speed and beauty.
• The Wyoming: Once the largest wooden schooner ever built, measuring over 330 feet in length.
• The Adventuress: A historic schooner now serving as an educational vessel, promoting environmental stewardship.

7. Schooners in Popular Culture

Schooners have found their way into popular culture, appearing in literature, movies, and music. They symbolize adventure, freedom, and the romanticism of a bygone era. From classic novels like "Treasure Island" to films such as "Pirates of the Caribbean," schooners have captured the imagination of storytellers and audiences alike.

8. Advantages of Schooners

The design of a schooner offers several advantages over other sailboats. These include:

• Speed and Maneuverability: Schooners are known for their agility and speed, making them ideal for racing and navigating through various weather conditions.
• Sailing Options: The fore-and-aft rigging of schooners provides flexibility in sail adjustments, allowing for efficient sailing in different wind directions.
• Versatility: Schooners can be adapted for various purposes, including pleasure sailing, chartering, cargo transportation, and even scientific research expeditions.

9. Sailing a Schooner

Sailing a schooner requires skill and expertise. The crew must work together to hoist and adjust the sails, control the rigging, and steer the vessel. Schooners offer an immersive and hands-on sailing experience, connecting sailors to the rich heritage of traditional seafaring.

10. Schooners in Modern Times

While the heyday of commercial schooners has passed, their legacy continues. Many enthusiasts restore and sail schooners, keeping the tradition alive. Schooners are also popular choices for those seeking a unique and nostalgic sailing experience. Whether for pleasure, racing, or exploring remote corners of the world, schooners continue to inspire sailors and onlookers alike.

11. Schooner Yachts: Luxury on the Water

Schooner yachts combine the timeless elegance of schooners with the luxury and comfort of modern amenities. These magnificent vessels offer a blend of classic design and state-of-the-art features, providing an unforgettable experience for those who appreciate the finer things in life.

Schooners stand as testaments to human ingenuity and our eternal fascination with the sea. Their iconic design, rich history, and enduring allure make them a beloved part of maritime heritage. From their humble beginnings to their continued presence in modern times, schooners continue to inspire and captivate sailors and dreamers alike.

Iconic Yachts: On board the 120-year-old classic schooner Shenandoah of Sark

Related articles, superyacht directory.

Having survived two wars, seizure by the French and a succession of blue-blooded yachtsman, Shenandoah of Sark has had a truly remarkable life. As she joins the market with Burgess and Sandeman Yachting, we walk through the history of this 120-year-old classic...

One of the most glamorous classics still sailing the seas, the iconic yacht Shenandoah of Sark has seen it all. A three-masted gaff-rigged schooner, Shenandoah of Sark has been owned by aristocrats, royalty and even smugglers. She’s hosted fabulous parties and hidden away during war times. She’s sailed in regattas and gone around the world multiple times. She was nearly lost to history more than once, but was thankfully saved from dereliction to come back stronger, better and even more beautiful than before.

The 54.35-metre sailing yacht Shenandoah of Sark was originally commissioned for the wealthy American banker Charles Fahnestock. Shenandoah of Sark was his retirement plan – meant to be the ultimate luxury on which he could travel through the Caribbean and Mediterranean. She was designed by Theodore Ferris, who was inspired by the lines of Meteor III , the yacht owned by German Emperor and King of Prussia, Kaiser Wilhelm II. Shenandoah of Sark is a true specimen of the Golden Age of yachting and was highly celebrated upon her launch in 1902, built by Townsend & Downey Shipyard in New York. Notably, she is Ferris’s only yacht still sailing today.

Her ownership reads like a list of the who’s who of elite yachting aficionados, spanning many generations and continents. “One of the things that makes Shenandoah of Sark so iconic is that she has an amazing history of owners,” says her captain Russel Potter. After spending many happy years in the Med with her original owner, she was sold to German aristocrat Landrat Walter Von Bruining, though his ownership was sadly short-lived. As World War I broke out, Shenandoah of Sark was appropriated by the British military, and after the war she belonged to British shipbuilder Sir John Esplen. She again changed hands to Godfrey Williams, who sold her to the Italian Prince Ludovico Potenziani. He named her Atlantide , refitted her interior to be even more elegant and hosted epic parties on board. During one such soiree, the Danish Count Viggo Jarl came on board and offered to buy the yacht on the spot.

Jarl lovingly updated the yacht further and prepared her for her first of many epic adventures. Under his ownership, as Atlantide , she travelled to Central and South America and even went 500 miles up the Amazon River. During World War II, she was dismasted and the engines were removed so she would be of no use to the Nazis. After the war, she continued her sophisticated life. She is reported to have been in Monaco when Prince Rainier married Grace Kelly. When Jarl fell on hard times, she was sold and entered into a period where her history is a bit murky – she is rumoured to have been used to smuggle drugs and guns around the Caribbean.

In 1962, she was seized in France and sat unused and unloved for a decade. “She was eventually bought by Baron Marcel Bic, the inventor of the Bic pen,” says Potter. “He restored her to her current setup.” The Baron also reinstated her original name, Shenandoah of Sark . The Bich family enjoyed her for 14 years, during which time she sailed back to the United States and was visited by members of the Kennedy clan.

During the 1980s, Shenandoah of Sark became a superstar of sorts, used as the backdrop for Vogue magazine photoshoots and Rod Stewart music videos. Then her next owner, industrialist Philip Bommer, relocated her to Southeast Asia, where she was offered for charter. But at the dawn of the 20th Century, she once again faced hard times and disuse. “She was rotting away in Thailand and was found by a German gentleman who restored her back to her current grace,” says Potter. She limped to New Zealand and was impeccably restored by the McMullen & Wing shipyard. Shenandoah of Sark then competed in the Millennium Cup in New Zealand and later in the America’s Cup Jubilee Regatta in 2001 off the Isle of Wight in the UK.

“To go through those chapters of boom and bust and crazy owners, that’s part of what makes her so unique,” says Potter. But she still had much more life to live. In the past 20 years, she’s logged many more miles, travelling as far as South Georgia island off Antarctica. “We spent three weeks down there exploring Shackleton’s path – you couldn’t do this with common classic yachts,” he says.

Flying a total sail area of 2,646 square metres, the other thing that makes Shenandoah of Sark such an iconic yacht is the actual experience of sailing her. “Even after all these years, I still enjoy the experience of being on board when she’s under full sail,” says Potter. “It’s something special watching all the sails go up and leaning her over and putting the wind on the beam – feeling the power of this boat is just incredible.”

Though her captain points out that unlike many yachts of her day that are narrow and fast, Shenandoah of Sark wasn’t built for racing. “She’s big – she was built as a superyacht, which back in the day was quite opulent,” he says. Shenandoah of Sark participates in races and regattas, but she’s really better suited to go around the world than around the racecourse. Captain Potter praises her seaworthiness, and her track record backs it up. Shenandoah of Sark has completed three circumnavigations with her current owners, going to places like Madagascar and the South Pacific. She currently is offered for charter, so other classic lovers can appreciate her splendour.

“She’s still timeless when you come on board – you get that feeling of stepping back in time, but you’re also on a superyacht with five-star luxury,” says Potter. “She still has her original bell on board, the rivets on some of the frames from 1902, parts of the hull – not the actual plating but the frame – and the keel is original. It’s quite cool, you think, ‘wow, that’s very old.’” And she is constantly being updated. “It’s like preserving a piece of history,” says Potter.

The way in which classic owners consider themselves custodians of history, classic yacht crew also appreciate the vintage nature of such boats. Shenandoah of Sark was Captain Potter’s first job in yachting – he joined as a deckhand in 2002 and worked his was way up to officer, then went on to other boats, but came back when she needed a new captain. “Most classic sailboats tend to have low crew turnovers, because it’s not just about the money but looking after a piece of history and having a bit of pride and admiration for what we do,” he says.

Shenandoah of Sark was recently listed for sale and is looking for a new custodian to take her into the next century and beyond. Like many classic yachts who have lived far longer than the people who sail her today, the iconic yacht Shenandoah of Sark has seen it all. She has been owned by and enjoyed by royalty and aristocrats, survived two World Wars, come back from the dead and sailed to the farthest flung reaches of the earth. If these decks could only talk.

Welcome to our photo gallery! We hope the photos inspire you to join us on one of our voyages and create your own unforgettable memories out on the sea.

The history of When and If

With her storied past, productive present, and bright future, When And If has a narrative all her own. She was commissioned by General George S Patton from the illustrious naval architect John Alden, and built by FF Pendleton of Wiscasset, ME to sail around the world “When the war is over, and if I live through it.”

Her sturdy construction of double planked mahogany over black locust frames and an oak keel made her heavier than Alden’s signature racing schooners, more suited to her transoceanic cruising agenda. She was launched in November of 1938 and in 1939 Patton took delivery of her to Massachusetts where the Patton and Ayer families lived. Shortly thereafter, Patton was deployed in Europe. He returned on leave at least once to sail the boat in his home waters of the North Shore of Massachusetts with his family. Many boats during World War Two, particularly wooden vessels, were requisitioned as sub hunters for the United States Navy though When And If seems to have escaped this fate and saw out the war in safety. Patton was killed in a car accident in Germany in 1945, shortly after the armistice, and his vision to sail around the world on the boat remains unfulfilled to this day.

When And If remained in the Patton family until 1972, when she was donated to the Landmark school for children with Dyslexia in Pride’s Crossing, MA. Patton himself was dyslexic and When And If’s time there marked some of the happiest years for children at the school. Today they come sailing and visit the boat both in Massachusetts and Florida, bringing their own families to regale them with their sea stories never forgotten from all those Summers ago.

In 1990 a vicious nor’easter tore When And If from her mooring and put her up on the rocks at Pride’s Crossing. She appeared mortally wounded, with a hole in her port side “you could drive a VW bug through” and all hope seemed lost until a pair of shipwrights from Martha’s Vineyard purchased the wreck and barged her over to Vineyard Haven to give her a new lease of life.

In 1994 to she was launched, sparkling, from the railway at Gannon and Benjamin, earning them industry-wide recognition for their fine craftsmanship and traditional values in shipbuilding.

Following a stint as the belle of Vineyard Haven harbour, When And If passed into private ownership for a time and in 2011 was purchased by Doug Hazlitt who, after his restoration of the Alden racing schooner Malabar X, purchased When And If prepared to undertake the second big rebuild of her life.

After X years, with a gleaming new sprung teak deck among the most prominent of her new adornments and her length restored to the original 63.5 ft from the 63 it had become during her previous rebuild, When And If once again splashed and lay in wait for her next adventure.

Captain Seth Salzmann had a special place in his heart for When And If. He remembers the first time he saw her in Penobscot Bay, ME in 2006 and though he knew almost every boat in those waters he didn’t recognize the new visitor. “It was like when you see a girl for the first time” he says.

In 2015, after he had managed a large portion of When And If’s 2012 refit, Seth couldn’t resist the opportunity to lease her and begin her new life as a sailing charter boat.

After a summer in Hyannis, MA and a winter in Key West, FL When And If spent the Summer of 2016 touring the Great Lakes for the Tall Ships Festival there before found her new Summer home the following year in Salem, MA.

During this time the opportunity arose for Seth to buy the boat and in 2017 he became owner/operator of his treasured vessel.

Seth’s ambition has always been to fulfil When And If’s destiny and sail around the world. Now with a young family in tow the focus is on keeping the boat busy and raising her condition, ready for that time in the not-too-distant future when her great journey will begin.

Dartmouth’s Top-Ranked Sailing Teams Set to Move into State-of-the-Art Boathouse

In the competitive recruiting world of collegiate sailing, gifts to Dartmouth’s new boathouse and boat barn will provide a big advantage—and serve the entire community.

James Bressor

Dartmouth is constructing a new home for two of its most successful Big Green teams. 

Thanks to a fundraising effort well underway, Dartmouth’s two sailings teams, women’s and open, will move into a new boathouse on Mascoma Lake this fall. The combined cost of the new boathouse and adjacent boat barn is $13 million, with philanthropic giving providing the full amount. Dartmouth has already received commitments of more than $8 million toward the project. 

Dartmouth sailors have captured five national championships over the past 50 years, graduating 53 All-Americans, and both teams continue to consistently rank among the nation’s top collegiate sailing programs. 

The new boathouse will build on these successes, providing current team members with modern equipment and more practice time. In the exceptionally competitive recruiting world of collegiate sailing, the facility will also help Dartmouth vie against other top programs for sought-after high-performing sailors. 

“Dartmouth’s sailing program was established in 1932, and we’ve functioned at a high level of competitive excellence for a long time,” says Head Coach Justin Assad. “The new boathouse is going to be a state-of-the-art facility that reflects Dartmouth’s investment in sailing. It will allow us to maximize our time at the lake and to offer a more efficient and enriching experience for our student-athletes.”  

The project’s lead donors, who wish to remain anonymous, say they were inspired by the work ethic of Dartmouth sailors and the impact of the sport. “We saw the need for a new sailing facility at Dartmouth and decided to get involved. Sailing is one of the most difficult and character-building sports you can do. Students that are privileged enough to sail at Dartmouth have worked their whole lives for that opportunity. We wanted to see a building that would support the excellence and the future of the program.” 

In addition to providing facilities for the two sailing teams, the new boathouse and boat barn will serve the entire Dartmouth and Upper Valley communities. Every summer, more than 60 sophomores opt to sail for physical education credit, and the space hosts children’s camps throughout the summer. In addition, Dartmouth’s boathouse and fleet will continue to serve recreational sailors in the Upper Valley. 

“The new boathouse and boat barn will elevate the sailing teams’ experience on and off the water, making our program even more competitive while also serving the wider community. We are grateful to our donors for sharing this ambition to take our program to even greater heights, and we are especially thankful for the anonymous lead donors whose vision and generosity have enabled us to begin work on these buildings,” says Mike Harrity, the Haldeman Family Director of Athletics and Recreation. “Our ongoing investments in facilities, coupled with our commitment to supporting outstanding coaches and providing programs such as Dartmouth Peak Performance, underscore our dedication to the holistically developing student-athlete.”

A successful program in need of new facilities 

The new facilities on Mascoma Lake will replace the Allen Boathouse, constructed in the early 1950s and named for the much-loved sailing coach Art Allen Jr. ’32. The facility served Dartmouth sailors for seven decades but had not been significantly renovated for many years. “It was a pretty spartan operation,” says Assad, noting that among the building’s multiple shortcomings, the locker rooms stayed so wet and muddy that most sailors changed while standing on benches. 

Steve Blecher ’64 remembers joining with fellow sailing team members to add cooking facilities to the Allen Boathouse while also improving the maintenance areas and purchasing kerosene and firewood to heat the building. This was a time when the program didn’t have a coach and students needed to drive their own cars, or hitchhike, to Mascoma Lake and regattas across New England. 

“The Allen Boathouse was a cinder block affair that was built for boat maintenance and storage of our small fleet, and it got expanded over the years with some auxiliary storage sheds,” he says. “In the ’60s, we began to realize that we needed more than just boat storage and boat maintenance. Through the ’70s and ’80s, we dreamed about putting a second story on the building. However, an engineering study said the building had gotten to the point where it wouldn’t support a second story, so that idea died.” 

The new multi-level boathouse will feature much-improved facilities for team members, including custom-built lockers, drying equipment, and a classroom-style team room, as well as multiple indoor, deck, and patio spaces that will be available to other members of the Dartmouth community, regatta spectators, and area sailors.

Maclay Associates of Waitsfield, Vermont, the firm that designed the new Moosilauke Ravine Lodge, developed the boathouse’s design. Although much smaller in scale, the building will echo the lodge’s lines and natural finishes.  

Only steps away from the new boathouse, Dartmouth is constructing a 4,000-square-foot boat barn capable of housing up to 22 sailboats with their masts up and rigged, and an additional 14 boats in storage. The boat barn will be the first in Dartmouth history, and housing boats with their masts up will add approximately 20 minutes of actual sailing time each time the teams practice, says Assad. “It will be like adding a week of practice by the end of the season,” he says. Only Old Dominion and Stanford have a similar facility for their team boats.  

Work on the new boathouse and boat barn has begun, and both are on schedule for completion before the beginning of the fall sailing season. 

 “This has been a dream for 60 years,” says Blecher, who—with his son Jeff, a member of the Class of 1998 who also sailed for Dartmouth—has made a gift toward the new boathouse. “Competition for experienced sailors is intense. If you’re a high school sailor, Dartmouth wouldn’t be the first school you’d think of attending to sail at the collegiate level. Justin and his predecessors have done a very good job recruiting over the years, even with the facilities they’ve had. The new boathouse will enhance the program’s ability to recruit topflight sailing talent.”  

Assad says the boathouse, although still under construction, is already benefitting the program’s recruiting efforts. 

“We currently have several of the best sailors in the country, including a few world-champion youth sailors, so we recruit competitively with the other top programs in the country. The best sailors go to the Ivy League and Stanford pretty much year in and year out,” he says. “The new boathouse is giving us an extra boost. It’ll be much nicer than the facilities at Brown, Yale, Harvard, and Cornell, our principal competitors when recruiting.” 

Fundraising for the boathouse and boat barn is in full swing, and multiple naming opportunities—including the boat barn, the main room with its large gas fireplace, and the lakeside porch featuring stunning views of Mascoma Lake—are available for prospective donors interested in making a major gift toward the project. Commitments may be paid over five years.

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.

Melvin, Findlay and Burnham head the National Sailing Hall of Fame's Class of 2024

N EWPORT, Rhode Island (AP) — Pete Melvin, who helped design breakthrough boats for the America's Cup as well as the Nacra 17 used in the Olympics, and Conn Findlay, who won Olympic medals in sailing and rowing, head the list of 12 inductees in the National Sailing Hall of Fame's Class of 2024.

As part of the firm M&M, Melvin helped design the giant trimaran that tech tycoon Larry Ellison's BMW Oracle Racing used to win the 2010 America's Cup in a one-off regatta against Alinghi of Switzerland's giant catamaran. M&M also drafted the design rules for the 72-foot catamarans used in the 2013 America's Cup, which ushered in foiling in sailing's marquee regatta.

M&M designed the Nacra 17 catamaran that debuted in the 2016 Olympics. For the 2021 Olympics in Tokyo, the Nacra 17 added foils. Melvin sailed in the 1988 Olympics and has won numerous national and world titles.

Findlay won a total of four Olympic medals, including a bronze medal with Dennis Conner in the Tempest class in 1976. In rowing, he won two golds and one bronze in coxed pairs. He sailed in the America’s Cup three times, including with winning skipper Ted Turner aboard Courageous in 1977.

Also entering the hall is Kevin Burnham, who won a silver medal in the 470 class in the 1992 Olympics with Morgan Reeser and then won gold with Paul Foerster in 2004.

In one of the most memorable races in Olympic history, Foerster and Burnham aggressively match-raced the British boat to the back of the fleet and stayed ahead the entire race to win the gold medal. At the finish line, Burnham, then 47, waved to race officials, let out a whoop and then did a backflip into the Saronic Gulf off Athens, barefoot and still wearing his sunglasses. Burnham died in 2020.

The induction will be Oct. 4-5 at the Chicago Yacht Club.

Among the other inductees are Jan C. O’Malley, a three-time US Sailing Yachtswoman of the Year and the first winner of the IYRU Women’s World Sailing Championship; Charles Ulmer, a national champion and race winner throughout the 1970s and 80s; and Richard Tillman, the 1965 Sailor of the Year who held national, North American and world titles in the Snipe, Finn, Laser, Sunfish and Windsurfing classes.

Also going into the hall are Franklin Wood; Allegra Mertz; brothers Eric Hall and Ben Hall; Gary Mull; and Carl Alberg.
