THE HUNT FIN KEEL

The 21-foot class has the same rating as
the 25-raters around New York. although the
New York boats are longer and lower powered
The 25-raters have been'invited to take part
in the Eastern races. and II they accept tho in
vitation there will be fun enough. The class
will be governed by tho same rule as applied
to other boats under tho Seawanhaka rule.
The corrected time will DO computed from the
sail area and water-line length.
Inasmuch as the 21-foot class Is largely an
experimental class. a history Of its develop
mont will be interesting Previous to 1899 it
had not been considered as class Boats
having 21-foot limit had common classifi-
cation in many clubs. and they furnished
more or less sport for the yachtsmen in minor
clubs Mr.. Burgess designed few. but they
were never heard Of beyond the limits OF tho
club with which they were enrolled. In 1890

the boat carried a large mainsail and O small

BOAT OF FIN KEEL TYPE.

It may seem strange that tho yachtsmen
whose loyalty and patriotism led to the pro-
duction OF the Puritan. the Mayflower. and the
Volunteer should now be fighting for yachting
supremacy with such llliputian toys as 21-
footers. But Boston yachtsmcn despse not the
day Of small things. They have an eye to tho
future as woll us the present. and they may
DO depended upon to evolve the cup defender
OF the future out tho playthng otto.dny.
The 2l-footer, over which Bostonians are
rnving just Mt present. is but little more than q
plaything. It is not cruising boat in any
sense OF the word. and Is designed only for
sport in comparatively smooth water. The
boats will probably not DO seen In the famous
races of Newport unless they provo to be
much sitter than is expected. for tho risk Of
taking them around tho cape would be too
Groat. according to the theoretical knowledge
Of what the boats will bc and can do. There
fore the 2l-footcrs will be prominently
Boston institution. They will flock by
themselves in Massachusetts waters until
their mission is accomplished. Then they
will probably become enrolled in some mos
quito feet. and tho ideas which have been
suggested by their performances will be de-
veloped In boats Of higher order.

Boston. April 16-Boston yachtsmen are
beginning to practise the nautical hitch to
their trousers. preliminary to the more practi-
cal work OF the yachting season. which is close
ut hand Contrary to expectations last fall.
they are enthusiastic in anticipation OF a lively
campaign in which there is such an element OF
uncertainty that even tho most experienced
yachtsman among them dares not predict the
result of the seasons sport. This uncertainty
is due to tho existence Of an untricd class Of
boats which might be called the dime museum
OF the yachting world. 1t Is collection OF
freaks. known generally as the 21-foot class.
It has sprung up like a mushroom and will
probably be rs short lived. but 1t has aroused
a greater interest here than any other class OF
boats. not excepting the famous 46-footers
OF which the Gloriana Is such q fair example.
