| 释义 |
Paul Whiting was a highly influential New Zealand yacht designer during the 1970s and early 1980s. He followed Bruce Farr in challenging accepted notions of offshore racing yacht design.[1] Whiting was lost at sea in 1980 on his return from the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race in Smackwater Jack. A search failed to find any trace of the yacht or its crew. A 2008 newspaper report stated that part of the cockpit was found at Ripiro Beach on the west coast of the North Island.[2] References1. ^Blakey, Richard.
