Rhodes 42

 THIS IS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A CHICAGO SAILING LEGEND AND CONTINUE THE TRADITION OF WINNING RACES.

In 1936, BANGALORE was purchased by E.B."Ted" Lombard, a highly respected yachtsman and vice-commodore of the Chicago Yacht Club. And in 1937 Bangalore began an unprecedented string of racing victories beginning with Chicago to Black Lake, the Saugatuck race, Michigan City to St. Jo, Holland to White Lake, Waukegan, the QueQueen'sp, a 110 mile sprint from Wisconsin to Michigan, and the annual Chicago Daily News Regatta. Her greatest accomplishment was taking home her first Chicago-Mackinac by finishing first in class and first overall in 1938 and repeating the feat in 1939. From 1930 to 1963 BANGALORE continueD to hold the record for the consecutive number of Chicago-Mackinac races,(33), finishing first in class 5 times, second 3 times and a third in the Port Huron to Mackinac race in 1955. She was no less famous on the Great Lakes than another great Rhodes design, Escapade, who had the distinction of winning Port Huron-Mackinac 5 times in the 1950's.

BANGALORE was built in 1930 by Ross bros. in Benton Harbor, Mich. The designer, Philip Rhodes, ultimately made his mark as one of the most versatile yacht and ship designers of the 20Th century, if not any era.

IT IS TIME TO BRING BANGALORE HOME TO CHICAGO AND TO CONTINUE HER WINNING RECORD.
