The Admirals Cup, first presented in 1957, has become in the course of just over twenty years, the foremost sailing contest in the world. Consisting of the Channel Race during the first weekend of Cowes Week, originally two but now three races round the Solent and concluding w i t h the Fastnet Race, it provides the most testing competition anywhere for ocean racing yachts and their crews. This painting depicts the second Morning Cloud, one of the three boats in the British Admirals Cup team which I captained in 1971, racing during the series.

The team was successful in recapturing the Cup from the Americans after some exciting racing — s h_A_-s_ involving the teams of sixteen other countries.
