Olin J. Stephens passed away this weekend at the age of 100 years.  Olin will always be remembered as one of the most accomplished yacht designers ever having designed 8 Americas Cup winners and numerous other "ageless" boats including smaller day sailors like the Lightning.  There is an article about Olin's life posted on the New York Yacht Club website here and some pictures of Olin through the years posted here.
