Gary Hart and the Monkey Business
In March 1987, at which time it was owned by Donald Soffer,[2] the yacht was leased by William C. Broadhurst and he and former US senator Gary Hart sailed it to Bimini for an overnight trip with two women, one of whom was Donna Rice. After Hart became a candidate for the Democratic nomination in the 1988 election for President of the United States, the issue of whether he was having an affair with Rice was raised in the press, and he withdrew his candidacy shortly after the cruise on Monkey Business became known.
