Schooner Summerwind Wins Newport Bucket


We let out a collective whoop when we heard Summerwind, a 1929 John G. Alden, won the Les Grand Dames class in her first outing, at the July 17-19, 2009 Newport Bucket.
Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. J. Don Williamson.
The guys were stoked when they heard the news on Monday. They thought of it as their win, too. They built her strong and fast. It was an amazing, two-year project to rebuild Summerwind from the keel up and we couldn't be happier or prouder.
She's a beauty and now we know that she flies and so does everyone else.
