THE NEW RULE
which the committee has adopted N the
matter Of recalling the yachts at any
time they see fit is universally consld-
cred to be an excellent one. By 1t an
opportuity to see the boats on every
point of sailing will be given. FOR IN
stance. if the start is made over a Wl-
angular course and the wind shifts
while the boats are on their first leg,
the triangle IS knocked to pieces so far
as the three points of sailing so. In
stead of promised beat TO windward,
reach and run home, over such a course,
the wind might shift just after the first
mark had been rounded. in such way
that little better than one Of the three
points would be possible of accomplish
ment on the whole three legs Of the
course. In such an event as the new
rule provides. the committee can order
the whole race to be begun over again
on a new course. Again, if the boats
have a question about the right of way
at the start-or any other time, for that
matter-and the committee see that an
injury has been done to one or the 9th
er, they have the right IN that case
too, to make the contestants begin again
So it can be readily seen that these trial
races will bring out all there IL in bota
boats. 1t must not be thought, how
ever, that the Defenders improvement
will cease with these races. Yachtsmer
are quite positive that she will 20 on
getting better and better right up tC
