ahou, the acceptance OF the challenge.
Some member ~ the Cluh stIll Or" ~ favor
OF racing under the old conditions and think
chat the cup should stand simply for speed
on "a given vaterline length and that cup
yachte should not be tWl'"d 10y rules and
conditions. These men are sincere in
their views. The racing yaChisnen, how
ever, think that the cup WAS offered not
simply To develop speed but to improve
the model and construction of vessels,
and that II IL much more ~sportsmanlike to
agree ~ race with boats of wholesome
type than Ia have Ia defend the cup "a freak
which IL ~ extreme ia it's model and ron
srructlon that 10 sane man would think of
crossing the ocean IN II.
The challenger has 10 cross the ocean
on her own bottom. To do his she must
he substantially built. Towing across does
not mean perfect safety for a vessel under
all conditions. The Shamrock II. was towed
for a great part Of the way across and in
spite Of his she was very nearly lost. When
she arrived in port she was leaking badly
from started rivets. II IL more harmful TO
Tow a Yacht than TO let her sail. The strains
are different when under tow and The only
advantage il in being able 10 get her across
quickly. The defender has only to race
over courses on the Sound. of Newport Of
on Sandy Hook. II IL storms she can re-
main at anchor and In light ar moderate
weather she can go out and race. IL is seen
then what an advantage Oh defender has
" freaks are Above 10 sail fOr The cup.
Another argument in favor Of the whole
some boat is that when It's racing career IL
ended it IL good for something. Few Of the
recent cup def snders are any good. The
vigilant was the last boat built that was
good as a cruising yacht. The Defender
was broken up. No one wants the Column
bia, Constitution or Reliance. with their 20
feet Of draught, enormous sail spreads and
abnormal ~overhangs. The Shamrocks 1.
and II. are broken up. They were sold for
their value in old metal and brought about
SIC, 700 each. Their hulls alone cost ten
times that amount. The Shamrock III.
still 10 in the Erie Basin and efforts have
been made to buy that yacht and send her
to the Junk heap,
The new rule Of the New York Yacht Club
has been tried three years. Sir Thomas
WdIIfu W INV WIS y'"i pib thutttk ihCtt-
beers Of the club pointed out to him that
the rule had not been thoroughly tried,
and In view Of their being somewhat In
the dark about its success they thought II
best TO wait another season. This Sir
Thomas agreed to.
The yacht on which Sir Thomas will pin
his hopes is to be built by the Dennys at
Dumbarton. They built the Shamrocks ii.
and III. The yacht will be sailed by Capt.
Bevis, who was here in 1903 with the sham
rock l., which yacht was used az q trial
boat for the challenger, Capt. Beyis 10 a
White Heather, and with him at the wheel
Sir Thomas can rest assured that the chal-
lsnger will be sailed for all she 10 worth.
n is understood that Capt. Bevis is to be
in absolute charge of the yacht and he will
be responsible TO no one but Sir Thomas.
There has been talk OF defenders. but
until the terms of the challenge are known
and the size of the challenger Is tated
nothing definite can be done. A defender
built under the present rule will not be
