> Cornelius (“Glit”) Shields Jr., 29, seagoing son of famed U.S. Yachtsman Corny Shields: the International One-Design Class world sailing championship, on Long Island Sound. Skipper of the 12-meter Columbia in last year’s America’s Cup trials, Shields won the world title by scoring back-to-back victories at the start of the six-race series, building up such a lead that he could finish sixth in the last two races and still win handily.
