BOSTON YACHTsMEN PLEASED

The entire Boston yachting community
Is delighted with the probable selection
OF Capt. Hank Haff as sailing master of
the Eawson cup defender. The matter.
however, Is not definitely settled. as the
arrangement waits the approval OF Mr..
Lawson, who was In New York yester-
day Capt Han will be recommended by
Designer Crowninshield and the advisory
board OF yachtsmen that is looking after
the boat. so that IL can be safely said
that Mr.. Lawson will undoubtedly ap-
prove their decision.
One OF the strongest supporters OF Capt.
Han has been Gen. Charles j. Paine,
who headed the Boston syndicate In 1885.
when the Puritan defeated the cup; In
1856. when the Mayiower defeated the
Galatea, and the third Boston boat. the
Volunteer. In 1887. II was the latter boat
that Capt. Han sailed 10 victory over
the Scottish yacht Thistle.
Capt. Han also sailed the Vigiiant In
1893 and the Defender I'm 1896. so that his
experience on large sloops and cup de-
tenders has been the most extensive OF
any sailing master in America
With a skipper selected. the Lawson
advisory board Is now turning It's atten-
assistant and mate of the new boat. In
this Capt. Haff's wishes will naturally
be consulted. and last night IL was said
that his son Harry would be brought
over from New York to I'LL the berth
Young Han, should he take the position,
will have TO relinqulsh a very lucrative
place on one of the small New York
yachts, but II Is generally believed I'm
Boston that he will be on the Lawson
boat
AS TO the crew. no definite action has
been taken except that the 80 or more
hands will not come altogether from Deer
Isle. 1t Is more probable that a greater
portion of the crew will be of Swedish
or Norwegian extraction, as there are
number I'm the East who have had many
years practical experience on racing
yachts and are expert sail handlers.
II a number of the Deer Islanders who
have been on either the Defender or CO.
lumbia can be obtained II Is likely they
will be In the crew, although the pro-
portion will be small.
1t has been pointed out that the Swed-
ish hands on the Defender in 1899 under
Cant. Rhodes were considerably ahead OF
the Deer Islanders on the Columbia In
sail-setting. although the Down Casters
impnved greatly before the season was
over.
1t Is probable, however. that every
sailor in Deer Isle who has ever trod THE
deck of a yacht will find his services In
demand before the season begins, either
on the Lawson boat, the new Bristol
production or on the Columbia. while II
a centreboard boat Is also built the de-
mand for experienced yacht sailors Is
likely to exceed the supply

Nearly 400 screws are necessary TO
