For while the cup that cost less than

each series of races. the real object
which the naval architects have in
mind when planning the racers is to
discover what form of hull and cOmbi-

and over the water. The work done by
D'Alembert Col. Mark Beaufoy and Our
own Franklin, IS now continued by the

If we compare the racers built for the
