Profile

If there were a Hall of Fame for yachts, Windward Passage would be the showpiece. This grand old lady of ocean racing turned 18 this year and is still giving modern high-tech yachts a fright. Rod Muir bought her last year and knows what makes her tick. She has formidable opposition here but she will show her nice-looking transom to quite a few.
