In Yacht Club Activities

meet the requirements of course
adapted to develop model yacht
regattas any better if it had been
built especially for that purpose.
It was first proposed to hold this
first regatta in the submarine
base, and it was so announced.
School Students Interested
If the performance of the
models warrants it, there is pos
sibility that one of them may be
adopted as a distinctive Key
West type. The hullS of these
two craft were constructed by the
High School Manual Training
Class, and it is understood that
the lads of this class will produce
other model yacht types for act
ual sailing races.
The meeting adjourned with
the conviction expressed by many
of those present that the prospects
for a successful yacht club IN Key
West were very promising and
would be a considerable factor in
the new era of activity into
which Key West is entering
To Select Suitable Name
The name of the club viii be
decided at the meeting to be held
on February 1. So far, the pro-
posed names are "Cayo Hueso
Yacht Club" or Key West Yacht
Club.
The club burgee, a design for
which was presented by Major
MacMuIIen, win bear evidence of
the origins of Key West by being
in the Spanish colors of red and
gold, and if anyone wishes to
construe the circle and crossed
bars as bearing some resemblance
to a skull and cross-bones, there
is no law to prevent it, it is
said.
On ExnlD1flon
The design for the burgee, as
well as the proposed constitution
is on exhibition at the Chamber
of Commerce rooms.

That Key West viii have an
active yacht club fostering the in
terests of all classes of sail and
power boats became evident at
the meeting held last night in the
ballroom of La Concha Hotel.
A gratifying feature of the at
tendance was the presence of the
lads who will form the junior
class of members in the proposed
club and whose development into
sailors and sportsmen will be a
leading objective Of the proposed
club.
Proposed Constitution
Major James d. MacMullen
presented draft of proposed
constitution, compiled in harmony
with time-teSted rules and regu-
lations under which many prom
inent clubs are successfully oper-
ating, and with slight alterations,
it was accepted as being suitable
for Key West
Copies of this instrument and
application blanks for those de-
string to become charter members
of the club are IN the hands of
Major MacMullen, Melvin E. Rus
sell. chairman of the membership
committee, and S. c. Singleton,
secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce.
Power Boats In Majority
While there are some sail en-
thusiasts among the prospective
members, the importance of pow
er boat regattas and the much
larger number of members who
will own or be interested in pow
er boats, large and small, it is ex-
pected that they win be in the
majority in the club membership,
and win do an important work in
extending a Key West welcome to
visiting cruisers. International
contests between Havana and
Key West boats viii develop as a
matter of course.
1t was decided to hold the first
regular meeting of the club at
the same place, on Tuesday, Feb
ruary l, when the constitution
will be presented for final
amendment and adoption and Of
ficers of the club viii be elected.
