Larchmont Regatta Already
Under Way; n. Y. Y. G.
Cruise Starts, Next Week

The climax Of the yachting season is
reached this week with the holding Of
the Larchmont Yacht Clubs annual
seven-day regatta, topped off with the
New York Yacht Clubs annual cruise,
which starts from Glen Cove week
from next Tuesday.
The big carnival of the Larchmont
organization is already an assured
success and there is every indication
! not involving as many vessels as it
did in 1916, when it was last held, will
see much larger fleet under way than
was expected.
When officials of the local yachting
organization decided, some six months
ago, to resume the classic cruise this
year., there was considerable doubt felt
| as to whether it could be held under
present conditions with any degree Of
success. As matter of fact, there was
a rather prolonged debate as to whether
| it would not be more advisable to pvt
off the Glen Cove-Newport sea hike
until 1922.
The more conservative element in the
| club favored postponing the event for
another year in order to allow the
game to adjust itself to new condi-
tions resulting from the war Others.

urged that the cruise be held, no.
only as means of stimulating the
sport, but as an indication that the
New York Yacht Club was a leader in
| the move to bring yachting back TO
its prewar prominence.
Ten-Day Cruise

any influence on the yachting situation
this season, it is fact that this is one
of the greatest years the sport ever
enjoyed, particularly from a small
boat angle.
