...September, midsummer is the time for a series of shakedown races called the Observation Trials. As it happened, some of the most telling observations about this year's competition could be made right at dockside in Newport, R.I. Late into the night, Naval Architect Olin Stephens was seen tinkering with Valiant, his latest 12-meter design. Near by, Skipper-Designer Charlie Morgan Jr. was hard at work seeking to improve his golden-hulled Heritage.

...challenged and often bemused by what seems to be a paradoxical mixture of avarice and altruism in the corporate newcomers. The younger men, who have grown up in an era of affluence and clearly enjoyed the luxuries of suburbia, claim to reject traditional incentives. As Gordon Grand, president of Olin Mathieson Chemical Corp., says: "The days of the stick and carrot are gone...
