Besides the fact that the trim,

racing keel was mighty beauti-

Basin, there is many another
more interesting fact about the
boat and its owners.
Basin and Rivous have brought

was undertaken in June, they
made the perilous deep-sea jour

blown $50 miles off their course.
and sailed 500 miles to make the
