- American yachtsman who captured an unprecedented three straight wins (1956, 1958, and 1960) in the Newport–Bermuda Race in his 11.8-m (38.6-ft) yawl Finisterre, the only vessel ever to win consecutive Bermuda Races. During his career Mitchell secured first-place finishes in the St. Petersburg–Havana, the Lipton Cup, the Nassau Cup, and the Royal Ocean Racing Club’s transatlantic race. An accomplished writer and photographer, Mitchell chronicled his sailing adventures in several books, including Islands to Windward (1948) and Passage East (1953).
