This big yawl was designed for Alfred Lee Loomis, Jr., a famous yachtsman and financier. He was an Olympic sailor and won a gold metal in the 6-meter class, sailing S&S design #806, Llanoria. He was also an Americas Cup winner, sailing S&S design #2085, Courageous. His father was also an extremely accomplished man, among other credits to his name, remember LORAN? It stands for Loomis Radio Navigation. Click here to read more about the father Loomis.
