The London Field says that the action Of the

the distinctive features Of their 23-foot and
19-foot lug sail boats has been very much mis-
understood In America To preserve the type.
fms and bulb keels have been barred by the
Clyde clubs as well as centre plates. and the
length Of the sail area limited. The action. Of
the clubs has been misunderstood to apply
to the Yacht Racing Association 2.5 rating and

beside tho mark. as they still welcome
Wenonahs and Wee Wins to their matches.
