In view of the movement for classifying
yachts by their racing length. it is signifi-
cant TO note that the best English authori-
ties are beginning TO call halt. London
Field, in q recent issue, calls attention to
the fact that the present English rules are
producing type which is too long in pro-
portion to the sail it carries. Field is evil
d-ntly alarmed lest its cOuntrymen may
hold to rules which Will place them in the
same predicament as when their fastest
yachts were Trek, GeneSta and Galatea. 1t
IS now we'll proven that very narrow boats
are not fast, and any rule which tends to
produce such boats is detrimental to the in
terests Of the country which adopts 1t.
