The “Yankee” sported a professional crew of 23 during her crossing, of whom 18 from Tysnes, in addition to an after guard, including some of the owner, Mr Lambert’s friends. Gunnar Gjerstad (Gust. Olsen), holding the position as captain since her launch, remains in that position. Engel Vaage‘s (John Christensen) health is deteriorated, necessitating public transportation to England, in order to partake in the races there. The “Yankee” arrives in Lizars, England, after 15 days and 17 minutes, 17 minutes ahead of the “Atlantic”. The “Atlantic”s 1905 record wasn’t broken until 75 years later.

Between 6 June and 28 August the “Yankee” attends several regattas along the English coast, racing “Endeavour”, “Velsheda”, King George‘s “Britannia” and several vessels of the so-called big boats class. They sailed in France for a week, too, amounting to a sum total of 32 races. By the time only one regatta remained to be raced that season, the “Yankee” had won eight, the “Endeavour” nine. The “Yankee” led that final race by the first rounding, but broke her mast at the rounding of another mark, forcing her to break the race.

Lambert considered one more season in Britain, which never came to be. The “Yankee” set sail for America in 1936, with Ole Gundersen Teigland (also known as just Ole Gundersen) as captain. Rough weather made the return a dramatic crossing, but she returned safely to Boston after 22 days.

The “Yankee” was the only American boat to sail in Britain. Upon her 1941 scrapping, Lambert donated the revenues to Her Majesty the Queen, who in turn passed the money on to what was then known as the London Hospital.
