Emergence of Jada
Jada is a boat which was founded in 1938 in Stockton, California.

The boat's designer was Phillip Rhodes. Phillip's customer was Delbert Axelson who was a member of the Newport Harbor Yacht Club. Delbert was giving the boat as a present to his son Jack. The name of the boat is rooted from the first letter of Jack's name with three letters of Jack's mothers name (Alda).

She was built on the wood of Port Orford which was on top of a picture frame type material. At the beginning, Jada was 56 (or 64??) feet in length with a iron like material. 

Jada's Racing Career
During the first few months of the 1950s, Jada was transformed from a Schooner structure to a Yawl. The purpose of this transformation was for the boat to increase the rivalry in ocean racing.
