by an enemy sub off Nassau during her service.
From 1945 to 1990, “Sonny” had two owners, George Bowdoin (an active member of many
America’s Cup syndicates) and Jack Smith both of whom raced and cruised her extensively from
Long Island Sound to Maine.
In the early 2000’s, and now in need of serious work, “Sonny” was sent to the Italian yard,
Cantiere Navale dell’Argentario where she underwent a major refit. She was active in European
racing until 2007 when she was purchased by American who raced her actively up until 2017.
Craig and his wife Heather have continued to tradition of caretaking SONNY, commissioning major
structural work to the boat in recent years and maintaining her in Bristol condition.
