There may be some change In the
ANAL position OF the craft. as both
MAMMA and Joyant protested Boston
craft.
The feature of the start was the work
OF Bernicc and Wasaka H.. two OF the
Boston yachts. They hung on to MAMMA,
the Long Island Sound leader. making
tack for tack in the jockeying between
the preparatory and the starting signals.
Possibly IL was accidental. but IL looked

ing among the Massachusetts Bay sailors
and that Bernice and Wasaka II. had
been told off to watch the defending
craft.
MAMMA simply could not shake on the
two Boston yachts. When the starting
signal sounded practically he entire
fleet was running down the line on the
starboard tack. with Joyant leading. On
the whistle Joyant was the frst 20 shoot
over. Hayseed was close astern. Both
yachts continued on the same tack. The
others broke tacks as they slowly drifted
toward the weather mark.
