Caption: The sailboat Desperado was built in Traverse City, Michigan. Bob Andrews and partner Mike Fisher had the two-ton, meticulously-designed and constructed racing yacht built. Other sailors didn't think much of the boat, which came in nearly last in every race. After a disastrous performance in the North American Two-Ton Championship, in which the custom-made spinnaker was rarely raised because it was too much during the heavy winds that dominated the races, the two gave up on the ship.
