Etchells, E W

Etchells, E W
▪ 1999

      American boat builder and yachtsman who helped build navy destroyers and icebreakers during World War II, won numerous national and international yachting championships, and in the 1960s designed the popular Etchells 22—a one-design yacht (so-called because the boats are built to a specific design so the crew's skill rather than the boat's builder determines a race's outcome)—which became known as the International Etchells Class (b. July 5, 1911, Philadelphia, Pa.—d. Dec. 20, 1998, Easton, Md.).
