Olin J Stephens, born 13 April 1908, and one of the greatest yacht designers of all time, died this Saturday 13 September, at 7.45am at a nursing home in Kendal, New Hampshire. The cause of his death was, according to his doctor, "nothing else but age." He is survived by, among others, two sons and a grandson. He is predeceased by his wife Florence and brother Roderick.
Olin was coming to the end of an interview for Classic Boat with CB's American correspondent Chris Museler two weeks before he was taken into the nursing home. That interview, the last ever with Olin, will be published in our November issue.
