William Starling Burgess
William Starling Burgess (December 25, 1878 – 1947) was a yacht designer, aviation pioneer, and naval architect.
After he joined the Navy in WW 1 he returned to boat design and construction and later designed three successful J-class yacht defenders of the America’s Cup: Enterprise in 1930, Rainbow in 1934, and Ranger in 1937.
On May the 15th 1934, the William Starling Burgess Design J-Class Rainbow was launched at the Herreschoff Yard in Bristol, Rhode Island, USA. She was built to defend the America’s Cup against Endeavour in 1934. The first 2 races where tough for Rainbow but the last 4 races she beated challenger Endeavour.
