The Earliest Yacht Rac..

What is said to be the earliest of
recorded yacht races took place on
Oct. 1, 1861. John Evelyn in his
diary of that date mentions that he
sailed with his majesty Charles II.
in one of his pleasure boats or
yachts, "vessels not known amc ng
US until the Dutch East India COM
pany presented that curious piece
to the king, being very excellent
sailing vessels. It was on a match
between this and his other new
boat" continued Evelyn, "built
frigatelike, and one of the Duke of
York;, the wager of e100, and the
race from Greenwich to Gravesend
and back, the king lost it going
down, the wind being contrary, but
saved stakes in returning"
The word yacht is itself Dutch,
but the vessels which the merry
monarch sailed were little similar to
the racers of the present day. Men
tion, is made of other yachts and
races, but the details are very mea-
ser.
