American Promise (yacht)

The 'American Promise' was a yacht used by Dodge Morgan in 1985-1986 for a record-breaking 150-day, 27,000-mile solo circumnavigation of the planet.
==History==

The American Promise is a 60-foot Bermuda rigged sloop, boat that was designed by 1974 America's Cup winner Ted Hood for Dodge Morgan's solo round-the-world record attempt. The boat was the last to be built by CW Hood Yachts in Marblehead, Massachusetts. The company relocated to Portsmouth, Rhode Island in 1986. Hood recalled it was designed for sturdiness rather than speed: "Everyone said there's no way that boat is going to get around the world in record speed, but it did."〔The American Promise departed from Ordnance Island, in St. George's, Bermuda, on November 12, 1985, and returned there on April 11, 1986, completing the journey in 150 days, 1 hour, and 6 minutes. As the ''American Promise'' sailed into St. George's Harbor, Morgan's project manager, Grant Robinson, noted that the boat looked spit-and-polished. He radioed, " "She doesn't look any the worse for wear at all. We see you've still got some paint on her." Morgan replied, "What do you mean 'some paint on her'? She's only been used once."
As Morgan disembarked, his wife, Manny, and his two children handed him a cheeseburger and a bag of popcorn.〔("Dodge Morgan, Who Sailed Around World, Dies at 78". Dennis Hevesi (September 17, 2010). The New York Times. )〕 He told the crowd that had gathered to greet him: "It takes three things to sail around the world alone. A good boat, an iron will and luck. To do so in record time takes a great boat, an iron will and extraordinary luck. And, my friends, here is a great boat."〔(E.M. Swift (April 21, 1986). "Feat Of Global Dimensions: Dodge Morgan sailed his 60-foot cutter, American Promise, around the world nonstop in a record-shattering 150 days". Sports Illustrated. )〕
Morgan was the fourth person and the first American to sail solo around the globe with no stops.〔
