[edit] Also a Yacht by the name Stormy Weather

"Patterned after Dorade but with two feet additional beam, Stormy Weather's final form was the result of intensive tank testing with models. After an unimpressive finish in the 1934 Bermuda Race, her international career took off with back-to-back Trans-Atlantic and Fastnet victories in 1935 (both skippered by Rod Stephens). Stormy Weather proved to be a wonderfully comfortable ocean cruiser; the installation of a navigator's compartment at the foot of the companionway was but one idea that made her such a convenient and pleasant vessel. In the view of at least one expert (rival naval architect John Alden), "a better design would be impossible to achieve!" from S&S website. Gregorydavid 14:55, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
