whenever you've got nothing else
to do. It'll pay off.
Tie a crown knot at the end
of any rope such as the anchor
line where constant use will un-
lay it.
FOR SAFETY'S SAKE: In
towing another boat, or being
towed, keep a lookout posted.
Sudden Stacking may drop the
line dangerously near the pro-
pellor and the following boat
may glide faster through the
water overtaking the towing
boat. Keep hands free of the
bits when the slack is taken up.
Watch loose coils on deck-they
have a liking for stray feet.
NAUTICAL GLOSSARY
BEND: To make fast. A knot
by which two ropes are fastened
together.
GUY: A rope which Steadies
or guides something being
hoisted.
SPUN YARN: A rope made Of
two or three yarns twisted to-
gether.

By BOB JONES

A ropes life begins the mo-

The right way is to lay the coil
on deck with the inside end
down. Pull the end up through
center, unwinding it counter

Before doing anything else
whip the ends with strong sail

strands unlay they'll never &c
back together.
In time, a rope will gradually
straighten out, but if there's one
thing that can shorten a boat
mans temper it's kinky rope. If
you're in a hurry, tow new rope
astern for a few miles. Make
sure to do it in a clear area and
keep it clear of your propeller
The water should be clean-sand
or bottom grit will get into the
flberS and ruin it.

it had won the Gold Cup last
Saturday until judges claimed it
struck buoy, and the Detroit
racers headed by that old war
horse, Roy DoSsin's Miss Pepsi,
which was later declared winner.
But when Rhodes, a Seattle gro
Gerry chain operator, protested
the ruling the Gold Cup was put
back on the shelf pending a final
decision of the American Power
Boat Associations Inboard Rae
ling Commission.
For Rhodes, it was the second
straight year that the Gold Cup
Twas snatched from his grasp by
DosSin. Last year, however. it
was just a simple matter of arith-
metic and the fact Seattle race
fans overlooked that a boat re-
ceiveS bonus points for fastest
heat and race. AS a result, the
cup left Seattle for the first time
in three years.
Meanwhile, Detroit fans and
officials seemed determined that
it wouldn't go back to Seattle.
Burroughs said he never saw
such tension when a judges boat,
apparently without radio COM
munications, came in after the
races to announce Miss Thrift
way had struck a buoy. "Non-
sense" said Driver Bill Muncey.
But the race committee disquali-
fled the boat. That's when the
pot started boiling and it has
been Simmering ever since.
All of the principals will be on
hand next week end and you
can bet there will be some fun.

its TV coverage of the Gold
Cup races. 1t apparently had
cameras spotted just about every
where that a good shot could
be made with the possible ex-
ception of that disputed buoy
For the countless viewers, how
ever, an announcer of the back
ground and experience of Phila-
delphia's AL Bauer would seem
to be a prime necessity the next
time such a program is at
tempted.
For instance, at the finish of
the last heat no effort was made
to show the runner-up, which
happened to be Miss Pepsi, get
ting the checkered flag or other
boats coming across. The camera
remained on Miss Thriftway
long after is was obvious it was
the winner-winner at least for
80 minutes. If viewers noticed
that the announcer seemed to
be emphasizing the Seattle boats,
an explanation might be this:
He's from that Gold Cup-mad
city, too.

strain comes. It may look all
right, but it won't be long before
the whole thing goes.
CLEAN ROPE is life insurance.
With use it's bound to take up
sand and grit which will grind
the fibers to shreds. When tied
up alongside a dock with nothing
much to do. coil the rope over
the rail and give it fresh-water
hosing. Beware of too much
pressure or the grit will be driven
in further.
DRY ROPE OUTLASTS rope
that has been left wet, five to
one. Never stow wet rope in the
hold or locker: dry it out on
deck at the first opportunity
Too much heat will have the
same results as wetness; avoid
fast drying near a stove.
PROTECT ROPE against
cIldllIlg. sharp cages, rubbing
against another rope, quickly
wear it down. Wherever possible
use canvas (old blue jeans are
good to smooth the way. This
is particularly true with the an
Choir line where it wears against
the bow chock. If anchoring fol-
any length of time it's good prac-
tice to pay out an inch or two
every now and then to prevent
chatting at any one spot.
