Defender and
NaLkyrie III. Compared
49,. .
With
Former Competitors

Since tho first international yacht race
in the '4Os. when the America won the
honors in British waters, Englishmen
have laughed at American centerboard
yachts, and have until this year resolutely
adhered to their style OF cutters as typi-
fed by the Genesta. This type was SO
deep, narrow and long that it has been
called APPLY 'board on edge" The
shallow, broad American yachts obtain
ing sail capacity from deep centerboard
were just the reverse of the cutters and
have been called "skimming dishes.''
The csnterboard yachts had thu ad-
vantage in light weather and upon inland
lakes are necessary. But In the ocean,
where depth of water was not requisite.
they lost in seaworthlness what their
deep-keeled rivals gained. The Vigilant.
Volunteer. Puritan and MayHower are all
centerboard yachts. Of these the Puritan
is perhaps the staunchest, as she is now
used as IA fishing boat off the Newfound-
land banks, where at times great stress of
weather is endured. The Genesta, Thistle
and Vaikyrie were all cutters, and they
have proved their seaworthiness in many
a gale.
But in the Vigiiant- VaiKyrie race in
1888, the Englishmen learned a lesson.
While true seamanship might demand

was over, and some dozen long-drawn
breaths proved our realization OF the fact.
''In the race for the queens cup, which
we brought back with us. about fifteen
yachts started. In addition to them there
were perhaps dozen sailing about. the
harbur. making brave and thrilling
spectacle. Our directions from the sail
ing comm: ttee were simple and direct.
We were to start from the flagship at
Cowes, keep the No Mans buoy on the
starboard hand, and from thence make
the best of our way round the Isle of
Wight to .the flagship from which we
started. We got off before the wind in
the midst OF a crowd, OF which we could
not rid ourselves for the first eight or
ten miles. A fresh breeze sprang up,
we went rapidly ahead of every yacht in
the squadron. At the Needles not one of
them was in sight. After pass sing the
Needles we were overtaken by the royal
steam yacht. Victoria and Albert, with
her majesty and family on board. As
the steamer passed us we rendered our
homage to the queen. after the fashion
OF her own people. by doffing our hats
and dipping our flags. Just before dark
we rounded the stake The Aurora was
second. but she was so far behind that
we could not see her."

on the bottom OF the vesssl proper are
many hundred pounds of lead, which
might properly be called a stationary
centerboard. At the bottom of the false
keel the lead bulges out in almost cir

more than compensated Tor by the addi-
tional sail the heavy weight will allow.
A comparison of thu lines of Valkyrie
III. and Defender shows how much more
of the surface OF the vessel proper is be-
low the water line in Defender than in
Valkyrie III. Defenders bow comes out
full and even compared to the English
yacht, and her radder is much nearer the
overhanging stem. Moreover. the Eng
lish boat has six inches less draught than
Defender and at the same time has a
deeper and heavier lead keel, or fin.

just why they should arrive at such
conclusion it is hard to say but the Eng
fish designers argued from her build that
she could carry an immense amount of
sail and her working canvas spreads H.
900 square feet, while that of the De-
fender amounts TO but 10, 400.

ing to what pitch the English designers
have come. This year they will sail II

feated them years ago. They have, per-

and slide of silver. Their variety OF style
is only equalled by their variety in price.
Be they costly or cheap. however. they
all have the same defect. The catch on

easily. This is invariably the case, no

As all the strain comes on the catch, it
of course bends and snaps at the first OPP

Tho only way to do SO satisfactorily is to
increase their strength and thickness by
welding another piece of metal. All sill

which give way with but little wearing,

History of
The Worlds Greatest
Yachting Contest
for the Prize

but 1T was received with great rejoicing.
In England the yachtsmen did not re-
cover from the blow for many years, and
it was not until 1870 that they tried TO
recover the cup which had been brought
to New York by Com modore Stevens. The
English cutter Cambria was beaten
off New York harbor by the American
sloop Magic. The next year the cup de-
fender Sappho defeated the Llvonia.
Englishmen did not recover from their
defeat until 1885, though the Canadians
made unsuccessful attempts to gain the
cup in 1886 and 1881. In 1885, however.
the famous Genesta, the pride OF Scot
land, a cutter of great beauty and
strength. was woefully defeated by the
Puritan. Next year the Msyfower scored
q victory over the Genesta. and inter-
national yacht racing was abandoned till
1887, when the Thistle yielded the
palm to the Volunteer. The last race
was in 1893. when the Vigilant van
pushed the Valkyrie. This race was un-
as in one of the contests
the Valkyrie lost considerable time by
bursting one of her sails.

RACERS FOR THE AMERICA CUP

hapSsavoided the application of the term
Swimming dish" to this vessel, but only
by narrow margin.
On the other hand. the American
yachtsmen have gone far from their
former models, and Defender more close
ly resembles Valkyrie than any other
vessel. as can be seen by glance at the
designs. Its lines are not so full. and 1t
does not present quite 10 much surface -
the water, but there is a great departure
from the lines of the Mayfiower aud Vol
unteer. In view of the varying designs
for yachts which have sailed for the
cup. brief history of the races may o
OF interest.
The first race was sailed in English
waters, and was of intense interest on
both sides of the sea. The war OF 1912
had not been forgotten. and Anglophobia
instead of Anglo .hania. reigned in the
United States. What happened during
the race, which the America won, is best
told in speech made by Commodore
I'm coming from Havre," asid he. we
were obliged by darkness and thick
weather to anchor five miles from Caens.
Early IN the morning there was dead
calm, but at o. clock breeze sprang up
and with it came gliding out the Lave
rock, the newest and fastest cutter of her
class. The news had spread like light
ming that the Yankee clipper had arrived,
and the Laverock had gone down to snow
her the way up. The yachts and vessels
in the harbor and the verandas and win
dows bordering on it were filled with
spectators waiting with eager eyes for
the test of speed they were sure would
come. We were loaded with extra sails
and enough provisions for an East India
voyage, but Just the same we hosted our
canvas and waited until the Laverock
was about 200 yards ahead. Then we
started in her wake.
II have seen and been engaged in many
exciting trials at Sci. and Gil sfiore. but
never before had 1 felt such intense
anxiety to win race. During the first
few moments not a sound was heard ex-

q Plaids are now fashionable and will be
