THE YACHTING CRUISE
The third cruise of the Hawaii Yacht
club, with which Is combined race for
the third class yachts over the Ford's
Island course for the Turner trophy viii
start this afternoon. But few Of the
yachts will remain i'm port Among
these are the Clyte, Helimanu, and the
present third class champion Myrtle
About a dozen of the fleet will start
about two o'clock from the moorings OFT
the Healani Boat House and may run
down to Waiau, where the crews Will
have a swim before supper afterwards
mooring for the night off the shark pen
i'm readiness for tomorrow. The rest OF
the craft will run down to Pearl Har-
Dor early i'm the morning while some OF
the members of the club will go down to
the Peninsula by train in the morning,
launches and other craft and the ma
jorty returning tomorrow afternoon
as auxiliary crews in the fleet.
No little interest centers in the third
class race tomorrow morning as sew
eral new yachts by local and New Yea
land yacht builders Will compete for the
first time all of whom have shown un-
usual speed. 1t is regretable that the
Myrtle cannot compete owing to the en-
forced absence of her owner at EVA.
Her time around the ten mile Ford
Island course, the present record is
123 1-6 which will be possibly bettered
tomorrow morning. The probable com
petitors for the trophy will be Columbia,
Malahini, Wiki Wiki, Princess all new
boats, Vi-ke Oio, Skip, Shamrock III
and Pirate.
The start will be made from the flag
ship Gladys which will be anchored OPP
posite the shark pen. A preparatory
/ five minute gun will be fired and the
| start made a flying one, the times being
| taken on the starting gun. The mea-
surement rules will be enforced by the
| committee and time allowance made IN
/ accordance with measurements. A
| crew of four is allowed and light sails
permitted. BY consent of the donor
! George Turner, the trophy will be given
after one competition to the boat max
ing the best corrected time.
The instructions for the course are as
follows:
The boats will sail up the Middle
! LOchs keeping buoy of HalaWa point
on starboard hand and the flag on Wal
pio point on the port side thence
around Fords island, keeping the buoy
on the peninsula on port hand and out
| side the flags on the mauka side of the
island; thence to starting point keep
ing inside line of buOys. Shippers are
| cautioned i'm rounding the island not to
shave the reefs too close, for there VIII
| be danger of grounding. They must
keep at least twenty-five feet outside
| the flags.
The showing made by the new boats
has been too slight to bring out thelt
| full possibilities. The SOrenson's Mala-
hini was launched yesterday but fetch
ed away her rudder on the marine rail-
road track and was only saved from de-
mOlishing either herself or the Rest
boathouse by one of the owners jumping
overheard and acting as a drag. Hel
short trial showed great promise of
speedy and good behavior. She is built
directly from plans in the "Rudder' OF
the Lark scOw type racer. The Princess
has also shown good qualities in light
winds and the Columbia, Walkers new
boat was surprisingly fast in a trta
yesterday. All have good shippers, w
Lyle on the Malahini, Charles Walker
and Prince Cupid. The Malahinl rud-
der OF the dagger pattern lllouS VI WIZ
and iron, has been already replaced
The Ford's Island course is an eX-
cellent one for the showing up not only
of the sailing qualities of the boat bu
Of the shippers and crews. There Is
abundant opportunity displayed toi
lacking, reaching, pointing and judg-
ment in taking advantage of flaws
while not being too venturesome IL
shaving the course. The Waikiki enc
of Fords Island is marked with two
flags and the channel needs closely
keeping to, if disaster would be avoid
ed.
The moon will be at the full tonigh
and the view i'm the lochs unequalled il
any waters. Besides provisions, mos
quito nets are the most important things
to be remembered. A thick blanke
will not be amiss. Ole sharks will b
tempted again though the presence o
the fleet i'm the anchorage usually SENDS
the seachians from their regular
hunting grounds around the shark pen
There will be a scrub race home in tn
afternoon tomorrow, when those defeat
ed in the race will have a chance Il
show their qualities in the rougher wea
Their outside The third class boats
have nearly all been scraped and other
wise fixed up. The Pirate has had he
fin Strengthened and the Shamrock II
lately rechristened the Kahuna
strengthened against. the buffeting OF
the waves outside the reef.
