The Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup is taking place this week at Costa Smeralda Yacht Club in Porto Cervo, Sardinia. The photo barely makes out the British boat Velsheda, a representative of the J-Class. The Velsheda was built in 1933, designed by Charles Stephenson for William Lawrence Stephenson, founder of the Woolworth's retail chain. The seemingly strange name was derived from the names of the first owner's three daughters, Velma, Sheila and Daphne.
