註釋WINDWARD PASSAGE is a legendary ocean-racing yacht. No sailboat of the modern era has stirred more emotion, or caused more consternation for competitors, than WINDWARD PASSAGE. She was built of wood on a Bahamian beach, to plans by a young and then-untested designer. Since the day of her launching she has had a magic career, breaking all the norms of her day and causing competitors to spend vast fortunes building boat after boat to beat her. And again and again, long after she was no longer supposed to be competitive, she simply kept winning. WINDWARD PASSAGE is an unparalleled racing yacht that has enjoyed a succession of dedicated owners and competent crews. She remains in pristine condition today, and is a cherished icon maintained in pristine condition-an expression of timeless good design, fine materials, and exceptional stewardship. This is her story, told through the words of the veteran marine journalist Randall Peffer and brilliant images by the southern California photographer Steve Jost.
