Total. Observation-Disclosures, 1854
Naturally the liz, is going to be
heightened inside OF the next few
months, Notwithstanding the fact that
the number OF sail and motor boats
going into commission this summer rs
decidedly small when one remembers
the large fleets that took to the water
in the good. old days before the war
Still lot OF boats have been put over
board, particularly the smaller power
and sail craft that can be scraped and
painted and generally overhauled by an
owner. regular yachtsman of the
old school enjoys doing such work, and
II his boat is not too large the high cost
OF labor has not bothered him this
spring.
Big yachts also are going into the
water. Former Commodore Leonard
Richards is to receive shortly another
Garcia. The new craft is the nth OF
ITS name. She is considerably smaller
than the other Carolas owned by the
popular and we'll known yachtsman
Also. unlike the other Carolas. the new
yacht Is an oil burner. The new vessel
Is ll5 feet long, ll2 feet on the water
line, l5 feet 10 inches breadth and
draws feet OF water. Owing 20 her
type of construction the new Garcia
promises to be commodious as Com
modore Richards's former yachts.
Marshall's Craft TO Race.
For several years the owner OF the
! Carolas was the senior flag officer of
the Atlantic Yacht Club. Later he be-
came the commodore of the Larchmont
Yacht Club. During the past half dozen
years he has not flown a commodores
flag He is chairman Of several commit
tees of the New York Yacht Club and
Garcia v. will fly the burgee OF that
organization. In all probability Commo-
| dore Richards will cruise on the St
Lawrence this summer.
Wilson Marshall, another former COM
modore OF the Larchmont Yacht Club,
will have his steamer Ansantawac in
commission this summer. During the
war Ansantawac was used as a training
ship for Yale students Commodore
Marshall was the owner of the Atlantic,
the three masted schooner that won the
KaiseTs gold" cup in n race across the
Atlantic dozen or more years ago
Last winter Commodore Marshall gave
the cup to the Red Cross and II was
repeatedly sold by the organization.
When It finally was broken up the great
gold" cup was found TO be made of
, pewter.
William Ziegler. Jr.'s, Gem is another
steam yacht that the Government re-
UdNh " ueT owner. Tho
boat was used by the Submarine Defence
Association for experimental work In
the gentle art OF camoufiage. Probably
no other yacht in the country received
AS many coats OF paint as tho Gem.
/. The fancy paint is now being removed
and the yacht generally overhauled for
summer cruising
