Since the time of the Vigfant. American and
English designers have been trying to defeat Keel
yachts with keel yachts. The Yigtlant was an at,
tempt at a half and half boat, being neither Keel
nor centreboard. but combination or both. Inc
result is, in trying to beat keels with keels. that
the challenging and defending yachts are coming to
be alike two peas.
Mr.. Hanley holds that the history Of interna-
tional races shows the superiority Of the centre
board type although in late years. for lack Of any
one to push that kind the keel boat has come to
the front He says several are ready this

OF having nothing but alumni coaching next year
and IL is possible that Percy Houghton OF Harvard

YACHTING.
CAPTAIN RHODES SELECTING HIS CREW
FROM BAYsHoRE SAILORS.

One advantage in having a local skipper in
charge of an American defender of the Cup is that
he knows where to get sailors TO handle the craft.
One of the troubles of former years has been that
the people in charge of the arrangements seemed
to think they had go all the way to Maine to
get requisite hands for the boat, and at various
times doubts have been expressed to the ability
to get the right kind. Captain Rhodes never had
any doubts of this sort, and in conversation
which occurred before the Upton challenge ar
rived he said: .'I never could understand why they
went far away 10 pick a crew for defending
yacht. 1 certainly would engage to get as handy
a crew as any could wish. without travelling
to Maine, and right here round the Long Island
shores I refer to the men whose work know
men who good stuff all through.
Captain Rhodes is now making up his crew IN

plimented at the selection being made among them.
