AMERICA'S CUP DESIGNER STILL IN HIS TWENTIES

Olin Stephens' Many

Successes

YOUTH'S METEORIC

RISE

Olin Stephens, who enjoys the distinction of being one of the youngest yacht designers in Ameri can waters, has been engaged by Mr. Harold Vanderbilt to co-operate with Starling Burgess to design a new yacht to defend the America's Cup next July against the English challenger, Endeavour II.

Stephens is still a young man, în his early twenties. He has certain- ly made a meteoric rise as a design- er, but the appointment is not sur prising in view of the remarkable success of numerous ocean racers and other craft whose lines have come from his board.

The famous ocean racer, Dorade, won the Fastnet Cup in 1931 and 1933, and the trans-Atlantic race of 1931. More recently she won a race from California to Honolulu, aver, aging more than 200 miles a day over a course of 2240 miles.

MANY SUCCESSES
