Here is a video compiled from sources by RTE ONE. entitled “Mayday at the Fastnet Rock“. about the response and rescue of the crew of Rambler 100 after the keel broke off capsizing the boat.

FASTEST MAN?

ALBERT BURRAGE THE YACHT “AZTEC”

Ablert Burrage is another name associated with yachting through his yacht “Aztec”. Like Thomas Lawson, he died virtually penniless after having had a rather grand life. The House on Commonwealth Avenue remains as a testament as does the house in Manchester-by-the Sea and the house in Redlands, California.

Each of these men gave souvenirs to guests aboard their yachts, as was the custom of the time.

TRACES OF THOMAS W. LAWSON

Thomas W. Lawson from Boston, challenged for the America’s Cup in 1901 with a progressive and controversial boat “Independence”. The boat a B. B. Crowinshield design, was launched in May and broken up by September. He left his mark on the event none-the-less, publishing what many consider the definitive work about the America’s Cup: The Lawson history of the America’s Cup.” Despite this there is little evidence left of his life. He built his dream farm in Scituate “Dreamworld” There is very little left of his accomplishments. The water tower still stands. Stands out is a better description; unlike anything surrounding it.

When preparing for the 2000 America’s cup in New Zealand, the BMW/Oracle syndicate was having trouble getting enough time in the wind tunnel to test sail shapes and the costs were escalating. They hit upon the idea of designing a building to 1/3 scale models for on the water testing. Set up to be sailed by two people, they have all the sophisticated sail and mast controls of the full size boats and the mast placement in the boat can be varied for and aft.
