MOSBACHER, EMIL JR.
MOSBACHER, EMIL JR. (1922–1997), U.S. yachtsman and businessman. Born in Mt. Vernon, N.Y., Mosbacher won intercollegiate sailing titles for Dartmouth College and during World War II served as an officer in the U.S. navy. He returned to sailing in 1949, and from 1950 to 1957 defeated the nation's best yachtsmen in International One-Design Class competition. Mosbacher skippered his first 12-meter class sloop, the 19-year-old Vim, in 1958. He was at the helm of Weatherly in 1962, when she successfully defended yachting's most prized trophy (the America's Cup) against the Australian challenger, Gretel. He defeated the Australians again in the 1967 America's Cup races. A successful businessman, Mosbacher was chosen by President Richard Nixon to serve as the State Department's chief of protocol in 1969. He was converted to the Episcopal faith. -BIBLIOGRAPHY: Time (Aug. 18, 1967). (Jesse Harold Silver)
