Frank C. Paine
Famed Yachtsman and Designer, at 62
Services for Frank C. Paine, 62 of Wayland, famous yachtsman and designer of the America's Cup defender Yankee, will be held tomorrow noon at the Monastery Church, Memorial drive, Cam-bridge. Mr. Paine died Tuesday night at the Deaconess Hospital, Brookline. During World War II, Mr. Paine was president and board chairman of George Lawley & Son Corporation shipbuilders. The son of Gen Charles J. Paine, he graduated from Middlesex School, Concord, and received his B.S. degree from Harvard. In 1912 Mr. Paine was a pioneer in aeronautics and was associated with the Burgess Company and the Curtis Company in the manufacture of airplanes for the Navy during World War I. He became known as one of the most skillful yachtsmen in the country when he won at Marblehead at the tiller of the Class P sloop Stranger in 1918. In 1922 he became associated with the yacht-designing firm of Burgess, Swasey and Paine. Mr. Paine's revolutionary yacht designs reached a climax in the creation of the 120-foot sloop Yankee. This boat, which was skippered by Charles Francis Adams defeated both the Endeavor and Rainbow, British defenders. Survivors include his wife, Virginia (Low); two sisters, Mrs. Frederic Winsor of Boston, and Mrs. Llewellyn Howland of South Dartmouth; and two daughters Mrs. Albert Thorndike of Milton and Mrs. Denis S. Whitehead of England.
