the black and red spar buoy to the

large fleet because it will be many
months before the next open regatta

British In More Races.
There is a possibility. too, that one
of the British six meter yachts will go
cast and sail series of races for the
Seawanhaka cup. which is now held BY
tho Manchester Yacht Club. This cup
was first raced for in 1895, when the
sihelwyn defeated tho Spruce w.. a
british boat. Later the Canadians won
the cup and then 1t went to the Man.
chester Yacht Club. where 1t has rested
many years.
Some changes have been made In the
deed of gift and yachts OF the six meter
class are eligible to challenge for It

taken away for a time.
The recent Inter Club Cruise was not
the success that its promoters ex-
pected that it would be but many events
intcrfered with II in one way or an
other. 1t followed right after the Fall
regatta of the Larchmont Yacht Club
and preceded the International team
races. The feet gathered at the Man

dincd with the Manhasset Bay members
and later enjoyed dance in the club
house. The next day the run was to
the Indian Harbor Yacht Club and .
very enjoyable time was had From
Indian Harbor they went to Larchmont
and there after dinner there was an
entertainment. At Larchmont tho din

Planning for Next Season.
Plans are aiready being made for
next season It has been suggested
that the tine is rire to promote and
build new class OF sloops in Glass ]
and that this instead Of being a one
design class which has been the custom
in recent years should be built by diff
ferent designers. one having a Herres-
hon boat another a Gardner. another
Gielow and so on, getting Mower
Alden and as many designers as possi-
ble to be represented In the class. This
would be fine thing for the designers
as II would enable them 70 work out

may not be another challenge for this
cup for some years but one will come
someday and unless the younger. de-
signcrs have had opportunities to do
velop their skill there will be no one
capable OF designing q cup yacht.
There has been talk too OF a one de-
sign class Of cruising yawls or ketchcs
which could be used for on shore cruis-
Ing o. well as for racing. Some yachts
men are discussing a class of snwii
schooners UP to about go feet on he
water line and they have looked over
several types such as the Alden design
boats and tho wanderer TX, the very
attractive and capable schooner built for
Harvey J. flint from desisns by Charles
d. Mower.
Before next season, however. the
Florida season will come and is already
being planned. Several new house boats
and power craft suitable for southern
waters are now building and many who
do not own yachts but who intend going
south this winter are now making IN
1ptrics for yachts that may be chartered.
IL promises TO be q good season in the
south judging BY inquiries that have
already been started sm
