The San Francisco call., 1906-09-09
TIME ALLOWANCES
FOR THE YACHT
RACE FIXED.

The regatta committee OF the Pa
ciic Interclub Yacht Association has
made up the time allowances that the
yachts Will receive in the annual re
gatta 10 be held tomorrow over the
channel course. The battle Of the day
viii be in the big class. There are
eight entries, six being made by the
Corinthian Yacht Club and two by the
San Francisco.
There are two new yachts that will
be seen for the first time under racing
canvas. They are the Yankee, owned
by Mr.. Abacassis and sailed by ex-
Commodore Carl Westerfeld, and the
schooner Caprice. owned and sailed by
George Story. The Caprice is a sixty
six-foot over all yacht, but under this
system OF measurement will receive
time allowance from the Annie and
Mike.
This viii be the first appearance of
the Annie in an open race since the
days when she sailed under the COM
rnand Of Commodore Phillip Caduc.
The Annie is a yacht of the old school
and has 10 give a lot of time allow
ance It is a question If she has a
chance with the modern designed
ss%Chts.
fThe Yankee is a new boat, and il is
hard 10 say just what she will do.
But Westerfeld is one Of the best skip
pers and should make a showing. There
viii be a duel between the Mike and
Speedweu as the owners Of both the
yachts are always out hunting for
the scaIps Of one another. The Har-
poon and the Presto are two in the
class that viii be factors, as they
have in the past showed to be among
the fastest yachts on the bay. With
the time allowances they receive they
should fight 1t out for first place.
CHALLENGER MAY COMPETE.
Another yacht that is likely to COM
pete in this class is the Challenger.
It is not thought that Captain Nor
relI viii have his yacht Independence
at the starting line. as she is hardly
completed. If the Independence fails
TO come 10 the line, the Challenge
VIII be ordered to sail with the thirty
six-footer. The Challenger has in the
past been able to defeat the much
larger yachts on actual time, and if
she is forced into this class il will be
q great battle.
The only other yacht in the thirty
foot class is the Helen from Vallejo.
The delegate from the Vallejo Yacht
ing and Rowing Club stated at the last
meeting that the owner OF the Helen.
J. Scully. would be down TO take part
in the race. The contest in the twenty
fve-foot class will be between the Neva
and the Discovery. In the late races
The Neva has been able TO show her

There are some doubts if the entries
in the special yawl class viii come to
the line. The entries were made con-
ditionally.
