Yacht brokers are flooded with in
quiries for boats. Some who do not
own boats wish to purchase. others are
seeking craft to charter. Some want
racing craft: others are looking for
cruisers, whether sail or gasoline. And
the supply is less than in recent years
simply because men who own yachts
and are often inclined to charter them
out are going in for the game them
selves.
International Events.
American yachtsmen are sufficiently
numerous and enterprising to make a
lot of a national yachting season with
out the stimulus which international
competition applies to whatever sport
But there may be no question that tine
year 1921 on the water will have an
added flavor of zest because of the COM
petition among yachtsmen Of the Two
greatest maritime nations which the
coming season will involve. And. BE-
sides, there is in prospect the race across
the Atlantic ocean for a cup offered by
King Albert Of Belgium.
Then, too, the New York Yacht Club
for the first time since 1916 will be on
the water with full itinerary OF events
ranging from the June regatta for the
spring cups at Glen Cove to the annual
August cruise eastward. The Eastern
Yacht Club Of Marblehead will hold its
annual cruise to Bar Harbor and. In
fact, all the traditional racing and
cruising engagements OF all CLUBS
throughout the country will be on the
1921 schedule.
