MILLERSVILLE, Md, Aug. 25.-
Some 20 trophies were awarded to
winning shippers from Baltimore,
Washington, Annapolis and West
River here last night following the
close of the fourth annual Indian
Landing Boat Club regatta and
when the presentation was over
single prize remained.
1t was just a little cup-one that
hadn't been listed on the program
and it went to surprised young
skipper from nearby Round Bay.
Fourteen-year-old Charles Deakyne,
skipper of what he called IAN OBJ
solete" snipe, was rewarded for
winning a single race, although he
had not accumulated enough points
to come in the money.
Snail Lone Boat on Course.
Skipper Charles obsolete" snipe
Snail finished last in Saturdays
opening event and repeated that
performance in the closing race yes
terday afternoon. But yesterday
morning Charles was the only sailor
in fleet of IL assorted boats rae
ing in the 17-foot open class who
sailed the correct course. The rest
of the shippers, misunderstanding
the course signal, sailed a different
and longer circuit than Charles.
And when the Snail-hardly true
to her name-finished nearly half
and hour ahead of the rest of the
boats, the committee realized he
only had sailed the correct course.
Charles said afterward he had moth
ing to lose and plenty" to gain
when he stuck to his course.
The series winner in that division
was Robert Rays fast Duchess from
the Fairhaven Sailing Club, Herring
Bay, Md.
In the 10 classes competing
through the two-day regatta, WASH
ington shippers came away with No.
/ prizes in two divisions. They were
Clarke Daniels Robert E. Lee, comet
class. and Walter Lawson's Potlatch,
penguin class. Daniel took three
! firsts, while Lawson scored two firsts
and a second.
Light Winds Slow Racers.
Light and shifting winds slowed
the record breaking feet of nearly
100 boats, and times were slow in
all classes through the day. This
caused the committee aboard a
Coast Guard 75-footer to send the
l7-footers, penguins, moths and
snipes over a shortened course.
Flukey winds, however, did not
prevent Dick Bartlett, Severna Park
Md skipper, from winning the
closing event for national one-de-
! signs by the remarkable margin of
% minutes and 16 seconds. Bart
let's Vim also took the series, with
three flrsts to his credit.
