FORE AND AFT
BY MALCOLM LAMBoRNE

The Bermuda yacht race is
exactly three months of and
yet the entry list already is past
40. Commodore Henry DUPONT
of the sponsoring Cruising Club
of America believes the starting
fleet at Brenton Reef Light
ship of Newport, r. l., may very
well exceed the record Of SO
wlndjammers two years ago.
There is plenty Of time left
for signing up for the 635-mile
ocean classic. The deadline is
May IA. The list made avail
able at last count disclosed two
Chesapeake Bay entries. One is
Tom Gloss 45-foot sloop Fun
and the other, Robert Foley's
39-foot yawl Suva.
Still to be heard from is the
Naval Academy which hasn't
missed a Bermuda race since
back before World War II. 1t
Just wouldn't be a proper race
without the Nays still fast
ocean greyhounds, the cutter
Highland Light and the yawl
Royono, plus a couple Of the
academy one-deSign yawls.
Nor would any one be sur
prised to see Ski Siatkowski, the
retired naval officer who has
more Bermuda races to his
cerdit than any naval person
we know, back at the wheel OF
one of the academy entries.
Ski. in fact, was spotted at
the Chesapeake Bay Boat Show
last week in earnest converse
ton with Bill Seger and Arnie
Gay over an idea of Skis that
the whole feet should sail a
sort Of fiat triangle to the Brit
ish island. Come down the At
lantic Coast to a weather ship
well to the east of the Virginia
Capes, passing it to port, then
to st. David's Head. Ski was
saying.
THAT way you won't have
the fleet spread all over hell's
half acre. and some guy way to
the eastward who is down in the
tank suddenly picking up a
breeze and, wham, coming in
the winner. Rounding the
weather ship will give every
body fairer chance and much
less downright luck" Ski was
saying. Improve your navigat-
ing, too"
The others were agreeing with
him. The only difficulty no
one was ready to take it UP
with the proper authorities.
Maybe. in 1860 because the
1858 race circular already is
out TO yachtsmen. and the
course is the traditional one
from Brenton Reef lightship
to st. David's Head.

The question: What is. your
advice to new boat owners?
His answer:
First Of all. take the Power
Squadron'S course in plotting
and the handling of small
boats. Learn all you can about
the water. If you are entering
a new environment you should
try to find out as much about
that environment as you can.
Stewardship also is some
thing you never stop learning
Plotting graduates should con-
tinue their study. at least
through the advanced plotting
course. Seamanship and ad-
vanced plotting are two of the
most important courses we
have.
That is not to say there is
tagging interest in the classes.
We were about swept of our
feet this year. We expected $50
and enrolled more than 200 in
the seamanShip classes now
under way.
II agree with Mr.. Drewry

sci of the House Committee on

eries) that a more intensive
educational program is neces-
sary for safe boating. The
United States Power Squadrons
so far have been able to teach
only about $4,000 of the 800. 000
persons who take up boating
each year."

cause I am 80 irritable. I'm
all right when I am away

n II is all because I am an
old crab by nature-or what.

being so unreasonable. How

I agree that We can't write
