John F. Kennedy's passion for beautiful women is well documented, but his most enduring love affair was with the ocean. The president enjoyed casting off from Hyannis Port with his family and friends on Victura, the 26-foot sailboat his father gave him on his 15th birthday. Kennedy's impeccable sense of style was at its best on the deck, where he injected preppy, clean-cut '60s basics (crew-neck sweaters, trousers) with a touch of whimsy (cobalt blue socks, wayfarers). The casual chic he brought to the Oval Office was never more apparent than on the open seas.
