The Yacht Racing Association OF Great Britain

boats for another season at least, despite the attempt
Of Lieutenant Hem. tho plncly uer Of tho Gaatea,
TO persuade the association TO let ccntroboard boats
compete In contests sailed under tho associations

doesn't show any lack OF appreciation on the other
side OF tho value OF the cenireboard n device for
Increasing tho speed Of yacht I'm windward work
Quite otherwise: the British yachtsmen appreciate
Its value so highly that they arc afraid to lot such
boats with keel boats terms. Tho
centrcboard yachts would win. and present owners
OF keel boats don't want TO be put to tho expense
Of building new boats neither do they want 20 be
