By descent to the current owner Provenance: Britton Chance Jr. (1940?–?2012), a yacht designer for three America’s Cup winners, “was one of the biggest innovators of the 1970s and ’80s,” according to Jonathan Wright, quoted in Chance's New York Times obituary written by Bruce Weber. Wright was “a friend,” according to the Times, “who was a crew member on many of Mr. Chance’s boats, including Stars and Stripes. In 1987, that boat reclaimed the America’s Cup for the United States after its 132-year winning streak had been interrupted by an Australian victory four years earlier.”
