countless number OF combinations in
which the various types OF Jibs shown
in the accompanying cut may be
used.
The most dificult course Is the tri-
angular one OF ten miles to each leg,
testing the sailing qualities Of the
yachts on every angle OF the wind,
enabling the use OF every variety OF
sail, including the kites" as the
big, light, flying balloon Jlbs, spin

Qualities of Craft.
Is A BATTLE OF SAILS.
Each Captain Plans Their Use
According to Wind and
Sea>ConditionS.

The present series OF races for the
famous Americas Cup will be sailed
over two courses Off Sandy Hook, 80
laid out as to extend to the utmost the
seamanship OF the rival crews and the
sailing qualities OF the two yachts.
The races begin Thursday and will
be sailed every other day until sham
rock ". or Resolute has won three Of
the five races that are scheduled.
Three straight victories would end the
series and determine the ownership OF
tho cup. The races are scheduled to
start at 12 o'clock noon daylight saw
ing time). and each to be considered 4
race must be concluded within six
hours of the firing OF tho starting gun
from the committee boat. Accidents to
boats or crew do not necessitate a call
ing of Of the race, though heavy seas
and squally weather may force a post
ponement from uay TO day.
To the landsman the myriad intrl-
cate spars, ropes and sails of these
great racing machines, together with
their technical names, will remain
forever a MysS.=Ey, for racing in one
OF these great seventy five footers Is
going TO be a rich mans sport for
many year. The following general
outline Of terms OF description OF the
racers is written with a view of MAX
ing clear to the average landsman a
mind picture of the racers, 80 that he
may visualize the contest from the
dNy-b day descriptions that will ap-
pear in The Evening World.
START TO BE MADE OFF SANDY
HOOK LIGHTSHIP.
The start of the races will be made
of the Sandy Hook Lightship, and
the course will be slgnalled to the
racing yachts from the committee
boat Two courses are available, and
their use will be alternated- The first
race is likely to be along a straight
line fifteen miles out to sea and re-
turn: the second over a triangular
course each leg OF which will be ten
miles. Each race, therefore, Is OF
thirty miles.
Yacht racing demands that every
possible sail that may be used during
the course Of the race shall be ready
for immediate use. Each yacht car
ries three or four complete suits of
sails, which are changed frequently,
owing tC their stretching in the heavy
winds.
Before the race each skipper, with
his knowledge of the wind and sea
conditions and the course in mind,
has laid out his plan of campaign,
and his crew has accordingly pre-
pared the sails II is intended TO use.
The first sail TO be set, Of course. is
The evening world., 1920-07-14

the mainsail, the one sail that must
invariably be carried. This great
spread OF cotton canvas weighs many
tons and Is held in place by being
laced at the bottom to che boom, a
great, movable pole that is attached
to the mainmast a few feet above the
level of the deck md extends many
feet beyond the stern of the racer.
The top of the mainsail is laced to
the gaff, a shorter wooden spar that
Is hoisted along the. mainmast by
yards. The mainsail is attached to
