''Dorade'' is a yacht designed in 1929 by Olin Stephens of Sparkman & Stephens and built 1929–1930 by the Minneford Yacht Yard in City Island, New York. ''Dorade'' went on to place 2nd in the Bermuda Race later that year. The crew for its first race received the All-Amateur Crew Prize. However, it would be the Transatlantic Race that would bring the boat its name. Placing first, she completed the race in 17 days – a race that takes an estimated 3–4 weeks to complete. A parade was held in celebration of the crew and ship's return with the mayor holding a reception in honor of Olin Stephens' victory. Olin Stephens, the designer, was skipper through 1932 when he handed the boat to his brother, Rod Stephens. Led by Rod, ''Dorade'' sailed to victory in the 1932 Bermuda Race. From Bermuda, ''Dorade'' sailed back to Norway, down to Cowes, England, and finally back to America after winning the Fastnet Race. The victory of the 1932 Fastnet Race was of substantial significance given the unusually severe weather, several ships feared missing as well as one recorded drowning among the events that unfolded. In 2013, ''Dorade'' took first place (after applying her handicap) in the Trans-Pacific race that she had won in 1936.〔http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/26/sports/77-years-later-yacht-repeats-win-in-transpacific-race.html 〕 == Major races == *''1930'' Bermuda Race, Class B: Second; First all-amateur crew ; Fall Rendezvous: Cruising Club of America, First in Fleet *''1930'' Trans-Atlantic Race: First ; Cowes Round-The-Island Race: Second ; Cowes Cruising Class: Second *''1932'' Bermuda Race: First *''1933'' Oslo to Hanko Match Race with "Jolie Brise": Winner ; Fastnet Race: First *''1936'' San Francisco-Farallon Race: First ; Transpacific Race: First *''1947–1979'' Participated in fifteen Swiftsure races: First in Class AA ''1947–1948'', ''1951'', ''1954'', and ''1964''. *''2013'' Transpacific Yacht Race First overall ''Dorade'' raced from the east coast 1930 through 1935, moving to San Francisco for several years, then on to Seattle in the late 1930s.
