...America's Cup Yachtsman Bus Mosbacher, who was on our cover in August 1967. A few weeks later, he sailed Intrepid to four straight victories for the U.S. over Australian Challenger Dame Pattie. And guess what Bus had pasted below decks to Intrepid's bulkhead? That's right. TIME'S cover...
Cecil Stoughton was sweating profusely. Scrunched against the bulkhead of Air Force One, the stocky Army captain was trying to take pictures of Lyndon Johnson as he recited the presidential oath of office at Dallas' Love Field. When he had first used the flash attachment a few minutes before, it had not worked, but after a bit of jiggling with the connection, all seemed well. The pictures were taken, and then Stoughton remembered his custom of shooting from different angles to show as many of the people present as possible. He had always done it, then sent out prints...
There was the familiar forest of sails fluttering from aluminum masts, the spinnakers billowing out with the help of nearby fans, and the dinghies bobbing in pools of water as gangs of urchins swarmed over the luxury yachts to ogle the bulkhead-to-bulkhead carpeting and built-in barbecue grills.

A stewardess was knocked unconscious and six passengers who had failed to fasten their seat belts were battered against the bulkhead. Among the most seriously injured: Italian Movie Producer Carlo Ponti, 48, husband-in-fact (if not by law) of Cinemactress Sophia Loren, 28, whose badly cut right ear required 14 emergency stitches and 45 extra ones in plastic surgery. "Frightening," said Ponti, his head turbaned in bandages. "Luckily, Sophia wasn...
Predictably, the trend is to luxury and gadgetry. Small runabouts with rakish lines, chrome fittings, and decorator-styled upholstery look more and more like cars, presumably to attract diffident womenfolk. Oceangoing yachts sport bulkhead-to-bulkhead carpeting and baby blue staterooms. New compact radar sets, depth-sounders and other electronic gear cram the cockpits. Pushbutton winches eliminate the need to "weigh" anchor. Hot-water heating, cold-water cooling, seawater evaporators and adapters for turning iceboxes into electric refrigerators lure the boat owner. Apparently it takes a heap of gadgets to make a boat a home...
