Mamaroneck Is Example
'0f Moorinq Shortage

The fact that mooring space is at
a premium in many of the yachting
centers of the United States Is en-
phasized by the situation prevailing
in the busy harbor at Mamaroneck,
N. Y.
According to Village Manager
William H. johnson, some 400 boats
have been assigned mooring space
and the facilities at the two munich
pal dinghy floats are inadequate to
meet this seasons unprecedented
demand. There is no fee for mooring
a boat in the harbor, but the village
charges $40 for residents and $40
for non-residents for the privilege
of tieing up dinghies and small sail
ing craft at the floats.
Yachtsmen already are seeking to
make reservations for the 1949 sea-
son, according to johnson, despite
the fact that applications cannot be
accepted before January /.

FORE AND Ar

Vic Scott, 1s47 winner Of the
Albany-New York outboard mara
thon, has entered the Junior Board
of Commerce regatta here June 20,
which already has drawn entries
from as far distant as Detroit. Scott,
who is from Forest Hills, N. Y, races
in C and F outboard hydroplanes.
Entries of Washington's Joe Pal
mer and Detroit's Al Death in the
135-cubic-inch hydroplane promise
a real fight in this very fast class.
Death placed first in his Psst and
Palmer second in Tommy Boy at the
last Presidents Cup Regatta.
Two newcomers to the Pacific
One-design class, both from WASH
ington, have signed up. They are
Joseph Thacker with Jay Bird and
Bill Preston with Gizmo II. Ed
Nabb of Cambridge, Nd, one of the
best POD drivers, will be racing his
fast Black Magic. Entries in the 225-
hydroplane division include Wally
Harper's Second Fling, of Detroit,
and Walter Boyd's Carmen, OF Bal
timore.
Big cruising and racing yachts,
most of them from Gibson Island,
Md, will rendezvous tomorrow in
the upper Rhode River, south OF
Annapolis, for the first sanctioned
event of the 1948 sailing season.
Craft Of all descriptions will drop
their anchors in q snug cove, then
owners will shift to Commodore
Dnty Moore's yacht Amitie, flagship
of Gibson Island Yacht Squadron,
for cocktails. Around 11:30 am.
Sunday, the feet will start of for
the mouth of West River for a.
mile race back to Gibson Island.
On the Chesapeake Bay YRA cal
endar it is known as the Rhode
River rendezvous and raceback. For
yachtsmen, generally, it's one of the
best events OF the year. Among other
things, the week end serves as q
good shakedown for busy racing
season ahead.
Hudson Moses, regatta chairman
for the Junior Board regatta, tried

Nations 5 Motor Boat
Fleet Hits 4H,719,
Coast Guard Says
Spseiol Di.poteh 70 The ssor

NEW YORK, June 4.-The fleet
OF numbered motor boats and SAIL
ing auxiliaries in commission on the
Federal waters Of the United States
and its possessions increased from
419, ITO to 429,719 during the year Of
l947, according to the most recent
summary Of statistics issued by the
Coast Guard.
The increase OF e,s40 would have
been considerably greater. Coast
Guard spokesman pointed out, but
for the fact that outboard craft
under 16-feet are no longer subject
to the numbering requirement unless
the motor IS permanently bolted to
the .hull.
Another factor that deprived the
new. total of its full significance was
the decision Of the Coast Guard to
eliminate vessels no longer In COM
mission from its files. A careful
check Of the records revealed that
many Of these craft had been scrap
ped.
Compilations from the IA Coast
Guard districts in this country,
Puerto Rico dncluding the Virgin
Islands,, Alaska and Hawaii show
ed the Cleveland district leading all
others with a total of 1888 num-
bered craft in eight customs ports
embracing the, Great Lakes-St
Lawrence River area.
Among the individual cities, New
York continued to hold its ira
ditional leadership with a total OF
43,951 numbered boats. Other lead
ing cities were Seattle, 31,045; De-
troit. 27.444: Tampa, 21,639; Balti-
more, 21,091: Philadelphia, 20,362
and st. Louis, 18,A05.

States. Alaska was the leader with
a total of 6,266. Hawaii reported s.

gin Islands, "a. Each of the pos

Twenty -three-year-old Lorna
Burns Dickerson Of West Palm
Beach, Fla, believes in keeping
busy while visiting in Washing

down to making boat covers for
a waterfront canvas shop.
The attractive young matron,

Handbook Shows Biq
Growth Of CBYRA
In Dozen Years
By Malcolm Lomborne, Jr

From a handful of clubs IL years
ago, the Chesapeake Bay Yacht
Racing Association has grown to
80 yachting groups, stretching from
Elk River near the Delaware State
line to Pasquotank River at Eliza
beth City, NC.
In the intervening years, CBYRA
has assumed a major role in CO.
ordinating scores Of regattas and
special races between June and
October and in taking the lead in
encouraging keen racing in one Of
the largest yachting centers in the
East.
CBYRA's growth is amply illus
trated in its 1948 regatta schedule
and handbook which is being dis
tributed this week to club delegates
and individual members.
The man at the head OF the
organization for his second term
is William w. Heintz. Washington
businessman now living on West
River. He served as first president
of the Penguin Dinghy Glass As
sociation and still is active in this
class as we'll as the Chesapeake 20s.
d. C. Man Among Chairmen.
Serving with him are E. Murray
Sullivan of Baltimore, member OF
Gibson Island Yacht Squadron, as
vice president; T. Marshall Duer,
jr., of Baltimore, member OF Petap-
skut Sailing Association, as secre-
tary-treasurer, and as members OF
the advisory committee, James F.
Faye, Rappahannock River and
Urbanna Yacht Clubs, and Robert
G. Henry, Tired Avon and Chesa-
peake Bay Yacht Clubs.
Several prominent Washington
area yachtsmen are chairmen OF
association committees: Paul G..
Tomalin, appeals and rules; Len E.
Penso, measurement, and George
bankers, nominating.
Typical of the jobs performed by
CBYRA were the recent dinghy
eliminations at Annapolis to pick
the bay representative for Olympic
finals next Tuesday at Larchmont,
N. Y. The winner there will repre-
sent the United States at Torquay,
England in August.
A long-range objective Of the as
sociation is the complete standardi-
zation of race committee operations
for all member clubs. In other words,
CBYRA would like shippers to find
the same top-notch.staging of races,
regardless of where they compete.
Some clubs have failed to perfect
their technical operations and their
regattas show it.
Standard race forms developed by
Faye and starting signal sys-
tenn that bears the name Heintz-
Faye are two recent steps in this
direction.

after him to let her try her hand
at sewing canvas.
ITO keep me quiet" she says,
Andy gave me a job making boat
covers. I never had done it be-
fore, but it was just like making
clothes"
She now is so skilled that An
derson looks unhappily toward
the day she returns to her home
in Florida.
When word gets around the
waterfront that Mrs. Dickerson
is handy with engines. too, she
probably will be deluged with
business. AS a member Of the
Marine Corps Women's Reserve
her speciality was aircraft
engines, which she knows like a
book.
Il haven't done marine engine
work, but I'd be willing to give
1t a try" she declares.
II can do most anything
that's what they teach you in

of fish need are a few successive
days of sunny weather to improve
greatly their feeding proclivities.
As for the Potomac River, except
for carp and catfish 1t continues to
be q total loss with little likelihood
of improvement within week.
The large rockfish, which sur
faced briefly over near the Gooses
last week, have failed to reappear.
Chesapeake Bay, however, is alive
with bait fish, mostly of small size,
and small rockfish are feeding on
top with some regularity from
Breezy Point down to Solomons.
Hardhead fishing has been ex-

with the phenomenally large hatch

great numbers In certain sections
gave rise to "red tide" scare.
Commercial fishermen and party
boatmen are getting q great kick
out Of the anxiety expressed by
anglers reading newspaper reports
on the subject. They say it Is an
annual occurrence, although this
year nature seems to have been par
ticularly bountiful to this species
of marine worm.
The small size of the sinners on
which the rockflsh are surface-feed-
ing makes them difficult to lure with
the usual feather and bucktail
bats trolled by most anglers. The
size of these lures is too large COM
