Three wind and wave battered
Washington Sea Scouts returned to
Corinthian Yacht Club after fleeing
the northern skirt of the tropical
hurricane that wrecked portions OF
the Georgia and Carolina coasts.
They arrived aboard the 27-foot
sloop recently purchased by w. D.
Dean OF Washington, completing a
fast 4-day passage from Lanexa,
Va, hamlet west of Norfolk.
In the face of hurricane warnings
flying from Old Point Comfort, the
lads set sail last Sunday from
Hampton after baymen had warned
them of the danger.
Mountainous waves buffeted the
little sloop as storm seas rolled
through the Virginia Capes, but the
young mariners stuck it out and got
as far as the Rappahannock River

continued to fly over the bay as they

a strong wind.

The United States Power Squad

annually instructs thousands of rec
reational boat owners in the science
of handling and navigating small

Arthur Middleton of New York, chief
commander of the organization, has
placed the entire squadron and its
members at the Government S
disposal.
Formed during the last World
War, the power squadron instructed
between 5000 and 5000 men, who
later went into the u S. Navy, many
of them with officers ratings. This
work was done with a limited men,
bership, and the squadron officials
point out that with their present
scope of 81 units throughout the
country tens of thousands of candi-
dates for lower ratings in the Navy
could receive rudimentary training
in seamanship, rules of the road and
navigation.
The courses also could be utilized
in teaching Air Corps students.

He reported seven of the national

the regatta also will see an equal
number of the locally designed
Severn one-designs competing for
the first time.
Entries. he said, were being re-
ceived from Annapolis, Baltimore,
Washington and other Chesapeake
Bay sailing centers.
Races will begin on Saturday at 2
pm. with the first of II classes re-
ceiving the gun. The following day

arge Fleet of Sail Boats Bay This Year Race in Annapolis Regatta
UPS and Downs of New York
Yacht Club Fleet Reflect
Nations Economic Status

This year 35 racing yachts OF
various classes down to the 3o-foot
water line limit took part in the
event from the mouth of the
Thames at New London over a 81.
miles course to Block Island. Ac-
companying the racing contingent
was a fleet of perhaps score Of
gasoline. steam and Diesel yachts.
Assembled in this same harbor foo
the 1880 cruise were as schooners,
81 sloops and "a great steam yachts.
That marks a decline gradual in its
effects which began with the ending
of the golden nineties. 1t was due
to many cause.-the mounting cost
of maintenance and the diminish.
ing incomes of those who liked
nothing so much as to express their
wealth and power upon the high
seas.
The showing this year. Of course,
is direct result Of troubled times
starting in 1929 which will improve
II and when economic conditions
improve. Perhaps nobody now liv-
ing will see cruising contingent 50
large as that Of the year 1880, but L
is certain that in future years much
larger racing and cruising squadrons
will sail under the New York Yacht
Club burgee. -
Cool Toward Small Craft. q
So far as wind-driven craft am
concerned there never were so many
as there are throughout the country
today; yachting enthusiasm has irls
creased year by year But it relates
mainly to the smaller craft, boats
from % feet of water line down,
cheaper to buy and more economt-
cal to maintain.
The New York Yacht Club never
has held brief for the mosquito
fleet. No yacht smaller than 80 feet
Of water line NAV race under its
sponsorship. So since big-boat sail
ing has declined materially and may
go still lower. the protagonist of the
big fellows. namely the N. Y. Y. c.
must expect smaller cruise squad
rons than it used to have. mus
make the best of them-as it does
and hope for better days.

BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

NEW YORK, Aug. l6.-Through-
out the years the annual port-to-
port cruise of the New York Yacht
Club has reflected the condition OF
the Nation. This is because it is
a national organization, nauti-
cal foundation whose roots go back
to the time when the American flag
floated over thousands of craft far
ing the seven seas.
1t was the seafaring impulse in
herent in Americans that led to the
organization of this club in July,
1874. A lot of New Workers had
stanch schooners then. One after
noon a group of them met aboard
Commodore Stevens schooner. Gim-
crack, lying at anchor in the Hudson
River of the Elysian Fields, and
formed the New York Yacht Club.
Forthwith the organizers returned
to their schooners and set sail on
run to Newport, r. I. That was the
first New York Yacht Club cruise
1t has been held every year since
1874, save in time of war.
Definitely Reflect Conditions.
And very definitely have these
cruises reflected national conditions
because those who have participated
in them represented the highest
walks o. life in the Nation, in busi-
ness, the professions. In the various
eras Of prosperity club squadrons
have peopled the summer seas with
the sails of huge argosies while the
attending steam yachts and giant
auxiliaries have lain at anchor so
close together as to enable one to
walk from deck TO deck across a
harbor.
Then. in times of depression. the
clubs maritime display has shrunk
in accordance with the degree Of
economic decline In changes which
succeeding decades have brought the
club cruises have seen paddle wheel
yachts give way to screW-propelled
craft. burning first coal. then gas
oline. then oil. Thev have seen the
diss appearance of all except a few
OF the great ocean-going palaces
and the complete disappearance of
the mighty windjammerS.

Eight |nboard Marks
Set in Maryland
Are Approved

Eight new inboard speed records.
established at Havre de Grace, Md,
July 20, and at Chestertown, Nd,
July q, have been approved.
Tom Ehrhart of York, Pa, and
Louis Burk Of Philadelphia each is
credited with two of the new marks
in the inboard runabout division.
Ehrhart set new Glass D racing
runabout record of 43902 miles per
hour over the measured mile. and
a competitive record of Al $50 miles
per hour with the same boat. In
the A racing runabout division
Burk created mile record of
AZ 532 and smile mark of 4l.152.
Tom Chatfeld's e1-cubic-inch
hydroplane, Scoundrel, was respon-
sible for two new records also.
With Miss Polly Wright of Phila-
delphia at the wheel, Scoundrel
was driven over a while at 56.604
miles per hour to beat the previous
record of 55.046 miles per hour.
Chatfeld then drove Scoundrel
to a new competitive mark Of 48.913
miles per hour for the class
All of the records. except Burk's,
were made at Havre de Grace.
