Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Great Yacht Race is a novel by Jamaican author Anthony Winkler, published in 1992.The setting is 1955, in Montego Bay, St. James. A member of the local Blue Blood community has been murdered, throwing the city in an uproar. His murderer, Elijah Lewis, is quickly caught, but tension hangs in the air as the townspeople wonder aloud how soon he'll be executed. This happens around the same time when the annual yacht race is scheduled to take place, and a number of the participants are already gearing themselves up for the event.The story focuses on five characters in particular: Edward "Fritzie" Fitzpatrick, a barrister, the reigning champion of the regatta and the local Jerkass; William Anwgin, the magistrate; Alexander Biddle, the court reporter; Tyrone O'Hara, a hotelier; and Father Christopher Huck, who provides counsel to his parishioners while trying to cope with his crusade to save Lewis from the gallows and control his own secret sexual fantasies.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })SPOILERS ABOUND. | |

All Men Are Perverts: Of the five main male characters, Magistrate Angwin is the only one who isn't this in any form, being Happily Married and faithful to his wife. The others are this to varying degrees; Fritzie and O'Hara both cheat on their wives at any given opportunity, Alexander Biddle seeks sex from his girlfriend even while drunk, and Father Huck struggles with keeping his sexually perverse fantasies under wraps. | |

Affably Evil: Fritzie. He's highly disliked by the rest of Montego Bay's male populace because he's a Smug Snake and Amoral Attorney, but he's still quite sociable. | |

Amoral Attorney | |
The Great Yacht Race / int_b5b3599d | comment |
Amoral Attorney: Fritzie once managed to convince a client, who was clearly guilty of murder, to wring some sympathy out of the jury by faking tears using an onion, thus reducing his potential sentence. | |
