YACHT OWNERS.

To THE EDITOR THE HERALD
SIR observe in your paper to-day, in commenting
upon the between the Estee and the Resolute,
you say with justice ''That both boats admirably
handled, and the test both to seamanshp and
sels reflects credit the spirit and judgment OF the
owners" You properly give credit to Mr. Langley, the
Of the Comet who board the Estelle, and
who is "a practical seaman, who commenced with
small craft and is competent to sail the largest
yacht in the squadron and you finally express the
hope 'that with such seamen Mr. Stuyvesant Lang
ley and Colgate' you will the 'vessels Of thesNew
York Yacht Club generally handled by their owners
in the annual regattas y / gladly unite with you
in the compliment you pay to Messrs Langley
Colgate and Stuyvcsant At the time it is not
exactly fair to throw out the impression, which, pre-
sume you far from intending, that these gentle
men are the only members of the yacht club who can
sail their own vessels. Mr.. Center the gallant
of the vindex, and Rear Commodore Kane each sail
their yachts. There other members of the
club who are competent to do this and who do it fire.
quenty. agree with you that yachting receives its
best development when yachtsmen quite ready 'to
make themselves practical sailors and to take much
pride good seamanshp they do in the quality of
their boats" Yours respectfully,
A YACHTSMAN.
