with lesher sail and lesser draught IL
will conform principally 10 the cruising
and racing type, eliminating all the ex-
treme features produced in the very last
defender.
1t is claimed in Bristol that Nat Herre-
shoff has already formed his plans for a
new defender. and while nothing is said
as to his having the order 10 build II is
pretty well admitted that he will be the
one 10 build. Though the feat of trans
ferrng from the extreme 10 boats OF
shefter length and universal type will be
extremely difficult for him. 1t is also prob
able he will have a craft the Avenger. a
sloop yacht built by Herreshom, In the
57-foot craft class, and owned by Robert
w. Emmons of Bourne, Mass. which won
the cup for sloops at Newport last month.
The Avenger, II Is claimed, Is an ideal
boat and II the defender is built az BrTs-
tol II will be very like, though essentially
much larger and fitted for heavier weather
than is the Avenger, which Is good only
In light and not a 20-mile breeze. The
frequent onferences between Nat Here
shoff and former Commodore s. d. Nor
gan have a special significance In that
Mr. Morgan has managed former cup de-
enders and may do so with the new one.
