ONBOARD RUNNING TIDE-SPARKMAN & STEPHENS 1969 YACHT. ROYAL HUISMAN SHIPYARD
Few yachts have enjoyed the long-running racing success of RUNNING TIDE. Starting with class honors in the 1970 Bermuda Race and first place silver in the 1971 Southern Ocean Racing Conference (SORC), RUNNING TIDE amassed a case full of over 200 trophies for her two owners right up to victory in the 1983 Annapolis to Newport Race. Built of light weight (for the day) aluminum by Royal Huisman Shipyard, their first aluminum hull, she pre-dated the IOR rule by several years yet remained competitive under that rule for over a decade. Eventually, newer, optimized designs ruled the day but RUNNING TIDE remains with her second owners as a cruising yacht in Europe.
