A shout out to Gary Jobson and the team on Temptation/Oakcliff for their incredible, record-breaking performance during the recent Marblehead to Halifax Ocean Race. Temptation/Oakcliff (USA 119) blazed across the finish line at 18:52 ADT on July 7, breaking the previous course record by 45 minutes and 94 seconds.

Named after the family’s cherished golden retriever, the 35-foot Shadow is a cutting-edge marvel of engineering and technology. Tech entrepreneur Richard Miner forged a bond with Chris Hood after purchasing his previous boat, a Katama 30 designed and built by Hood. When it came time for a larger, more substantial vessel, he commissioned Hood to draft its lines. Shadow is propelled by a pair of HamiltonJet HJX29 Waterjets powered by a set of Yanmar 440-horsepower diesels. But given Miner’s techy background, that’s only the beginning of the yacht’s list of innovative features.

  For tech entrepreneur Richard Miner, cruising his Hood 35 LM can be summed up in two words: Constant satisfaction. Rich Miner did not grow up in Maine—his formative years were spent in Natick, Massachusetts—but the co-founder of Android, Inc., and his family put down deep roots in the Pine Tr...
