! New System Of Sail
Competition Offers
Underdoq a Break

Sailboat racing with a new twist
has been launched by a group OF
newcomers to the sport at the
Washington Sailing Marina south
OF National Airport.
Instead of racing by classes.
boats are grouped according to
the shippers sailing ability. When
any skipper wins two consecutive
firsts, he is placed in the next
faster group.
And when he starts wining In
the top class. he's given handi-
cap.
Jim Morgan, director Of the
marina racing committee, says
this keeps shippers of slower boats
from becoming discouraged.
Traditionally, one-design racing
is a first f1rst-Wins proposition.
But sometimes when a certain
sailor starts winning regularly
interest lags.
In the case of the marina races,
boats competing are of the pop
ular one-designs-Comets. Light
nings, Thistles, Chesapeake 20S
and Hamptons.
They race Saturdays at 1870
pm. and Sundays at l and 4 pm.
1t will continue through Sep
tember II, week end before the
Presidents Cup Regatta sailing
events.
Boats go over a tricky course.
It starts off the marina. then goes
to the river channel and upstream
to a bouy. They race back over
the same dogs leg to the start,
then 60 around again. The total
distance is 512 miles.
All which Is considered good
training for those enthusiasts who
who plan to join up in the fall
with Potomac River Sailing AS
sociation for its regular series.
Walter Collier, chairman OF the
marina committee, says the group
is dedicated to encouragement OF
embryo sailing shippers and crews,
and to keen competition and good
craftsmanship"
Another interesting angle is that
the committee acts on protests
and vet it's members race.
OF course, when one OF the COM
mittee is involved in a foul, he
drops from the committee for the
period of the protest hearing.

Ship-to-Shore Telephones on Rapid Increase

Yachtsmen. most Of whom
are born gadgeteers. are turn
ing in increasing numbers to
ship-to-shore telephones for
their craft-and Washington
shippers are no exception.
The telephone company here
reports 81 registrations by local
yachtsmen who have such
phones. The company admits
this figure is low, since some
owners have registered else
where in the Chesapeake Bay
area.
The Federal Communications
Commission, which handles all
licensing of radio phones, re-
ports 15,6O0 vessels in the
United States using phones.
The agency has no breakdown
of the number OF pleasure
crafts in this total.
However, 1t believed to be
large and growing rapidly.
Just why does a yachtman
install a ship-to-Shore set?
Here is what Harwood Martin,
owner of the 38-foot Matthews
cruiser Silvar at Corinthian
Yacht Club, has to say:
II have a set for one purpose
emergencies. It's always a
comfort when underway to have
that set at hand"
Ken johnson. owner of the
32-foot Kendene at Capital
Yacht Club. puts it this way:
It's very handy to converse
with people ashore, when you
need to-"
And virtually all owners agree
their sets permit them to keep
in touch with Uther boatmen
also equipped with phones.
Most of the sets have channels
for reaching the Coast Guard
and marine operators at Nor
folk and Wilmington, through
which regular calls are placed
ashore. In addition, there's
yacht channel through which
shippers can converse with
others without linking up with
a shore station.
johnson recalls an incident
on the bay last summer which
proves that such sets are more
than just playthings. A group
of CYC boats were cruising
from Solomons to st. Michaels,
when one of their number
broke down with engine
trouble.

know of one boat which took more

Another hot spot for the past
week has been Holland Point
where boats from Galesville.
Shadysides Deale, North Beach

The fish are running all sizes

class. Bert Lamb, whose boat the

Reel at Chesapeake Beach ano
who is an ardent striper angler

says there are some bigger fish
in this school, but that they are

smaller fish.

fish of this size and under. An
