...charm or turn rude and overbearing. The father of five, including a son named Rhett, he preaches family values yet is celebrated in Alanta as one who does not always practice them.

A yachtsman who defended the America's Cup in 1977 and won the title Captain Outrageous, Turner showed up at a victory press conference roaring drunk and tugging at a bottle of aquavit.
