TEST SAIL IS MARRIED
BY SLIGHT ACCIDENTS
Yacht Resolute, Cup Defender, Put
on Trial in Narragan-
sett Bay.

BRISTOL. r. l.. May 1.-TWO slight ac-
somewhat marred the first sail trial of
the cup defender yacht Resolute in Mar
ragansett bay today.
The temporary loss of her centerboard
kept the yacht in the harbor until late in
the afternoon. She finally went out under
three lower sails, and after an hours
spin under all sorts of sailing, one of the
peak halyards gave way under the strain.
The Resolute limped back into port with
her wooden battens flying out of the
pockets in the leach of the mainsail.
Lesson of Value.
Both accidents are regarded as affording
valuable lessons. The centerboard drop
ped out because of the weakness of the
chain. while an inspection of the damaged
block indicated, according to experts, a
weakness in the combination of aluminium
shell and steel sheave
The yacht was under sail practically an
hour. going out with her designer, Nat
G. Herreshoff, at the wheel. but doing
most Of her sailing under her regular
helmsnan. C. F. Adams. ID
There was a twelve-knot northerly
breeze blowing out of Bristol harbor
when the Resolute slipped her moorings,
and with her designer at the wheel,
started off down the starboard tack.
The tender Cape Cod was close under
the sloop's lee as she swung away, and
Capt. Herreshoff was forced to give her
sharp luff to avoid collision He
cleared the steamer by barely ten feet
Sails UP the Harbor.
Heading up the harbor the Resolute
wore of through the west passage into
the East Narragansett. After Mr.. Her
reshoff had sailed mile. Mr. Adams took
the wheel.
On the wind the chart showed only
little wake. and but a slight smother
under her lee bow. She carried her three
lower headsails well with a comparative
ly slight angle although. some of the
puffs ran up to fifteen or eighteen knots.
She tackled very quickly. She seemed
to slip through the water very fast, but
her sails showed need of slight alter
atoms.
