One trouble in arranging the schedule was
trying not to conflict with Iarchmont race

of the delegates that the schedule should be
arranged without considering racing in other
localities and that if yaChtsmen wanted to
race on the Sound and not in home waters
it was their affair If they lost Championships
by so doing.
