Tie reader will perceive by the tables alsSs given
that CERTAIN boats allowed a precedsnss' ut the

not from the hail. but from the number of feet OF sail
carried. This year the Club try Plaza measuring
the hubs their pouts u greatest dsplaeemsnt, at
or under the waie line and exsctisg from the larger
