From "Sherman Hoyt's Memoires", D. Van Nostrand Company, 1950

After a season of an America's Cup match ... I was delighted to sign up as second mate on George Roosevelt's Mistress in 1932, for a Transatlantic race from Newport to Plymouth and the ensuing Fastnet event. She was built in Nova Scotia. ... We placed fourth out of ten in the Transatlantic, third out of seventeen in the Fastnet ... We would have placed first in the a [another] race ... had not George and I ... found ourselves hard aground in the darkness on Lymington Spit."
