Built for British owners, she was acquired by WHIRLWIND's America's Cup syndicate to serve as a tender, actually as part of the attending fleet for the J Class yqacht during the trial races of 1930. The schooner's interior was altered to provide many new berths. Her rig was changed to that of a two masted schooner. This vessel appears in the American Bureau of Shipping register for the first and only time in 1929.
