LOOKING HERE
KING FERDINAND

From Ne wEng1and cyomes an offer
from one OF the best know naval archi-
tects in tie world, to build a yacht for
Hawaii which will win d astraHspacifie
race. B. B. Crowninshfelds who de-
siened Thomas w. Laasbn's famous
racing yacht, -Independence and also
the largest sailing vesl ell in the world,
tie seyen-masted schooner Thomas
w lawson" has written to Commo-
dore Charles Wilder of the Hawaii
Yacht Club, offering his esryiees and
guaranteeing success. .''roln his let
ter it is apparent. that the well known
architect has kept in close touch with
Hawaii, and the trans-Pacific yachting
classic. .E+ r.. --s.>@.
In the light of the proposed 1915
race against Sir Thomas dpton's new
Shamrock, Crowninshieds offer might

the last three trans-paeific yacht

To my mind in races of this kind
the smaller boats time allowance is
not enough, and the odds (other
things being equal are all in favor
of the longer and larger boat.
Il am given to understand that the
Honolulu yachtsmen are considering
building a somewhat larger boat than
the Hawaii and if this is so
would like to make them the follow
ing proposition:
That, if be allowed u make the
design for a schooner to be not less
than 20 # long on the waterline, that

though the defendant can be tried on
