Olin Stephens turns 100!

 

On 13th April Olin Stephens turned 100.  He is widely (and from our point of view quite correctly) regarded as the 20th century's greatest yacht designer.  By any measure someone who reaches 100 years old has had a full life, however perhaps some are fuller than others.
