How Race
Came About

The history of the Transpacific yacht
race makes interesting reading
At the time of the destruction of San
Francisco, the Hawaii Yacht Club was
preparing to hold a cruising race from
San Francisco to Honolulu, open to
the boats of the Pacific Coast. When
the disaster made this impossible as
planned, the South Coast Yacht Club,
of San Pedro, offered to conduct and
manage the race from its own port.
In the summer of 1906 this contest was
pulled off with three entries, the
schooner Lurline. owned by Comnno-
dore H. H. Sinclair, of the South Coast
Yacht Club; the ketch Anemone, owned
by Mr.. Tut, of the New York Yacht
Club, and the schooner La Paloma. of
the Hawaii Yacht Club. The beats
finished in the order named.
At a banquet given at Pearl Harbor
in honor of the visiting yachtsmen af-
ter the first Transpacific race, Commo-
dore Sinclair suggested the advisability
of making the race biennial affair.
1t was then and there practically de-
cided that this should be done.
At the same banquet W. H. McIner-
ny promised that lin the next Trans
pacific race the Islands will send a
boat that will sail circles around the
Lurline and triangles around Anem-
one"
Then you'll have to build your boat
in heaven" retorted the owner of the
winning yacht Lurline.
We'll build her in Hawaii. which
will be about the same answered
McInerny, amid tremendous applause.
