man yachtsmen who are building In the

at Kiel In August. is shown by informa-
ton received by the Eastern Yacht club
regarding the new German boats This
information shows that a majority OF the
fourteen boats being built in Germany
for the elimination trials, which take
place in June, are like the American
boats OF last year in dimensions, and
while their form can only be conjectured.
II appears that the conservatism. which
has previously kept the sender class
boats In Germany down to decidedly
moderate proportions, has been discard

as extreme those built in America

been regarded as due only to slight

as recent observations have shown that
