EOR THE first time In more than 20
IL years, the most famous Of the yachting
trophies, the Americas Cup win be up for
defense against Britain In races on New
port, r. l., this summer. The Cup was won
by an American boat In an English regatta
In 1851 and United States yachtSmen have
since withstood all challenges from English
racers.
As preparations get under way for this
years renewal Of the challenge, the FIRST
since 1897, several American yachting
groups are competing among themselves
for the privilege of representing the United
States in the Cup competition, Taking no
chances, the interested parties have put
all their know-how into the construction
Of their Cup craft. But science had the
last word on design Models Of the boats
were tested in the experimental tanks Of
the Stevens Institute Of Technology at
Hoboken, N. j., under the direction Of Dr.
Kenneth s. H. Davidson, originator and
director of the tanks.
In trough Of water 100 feet long by
Q feet wide and 4h feet deep, scale models
of possible Cup defenders were tested for
design advantages In terms of speed, proper
heeling, hull and keel contour, and other
cuaIaCte11oACS tuob COulu ui1AS SAS uAASL-
ence between winning and losing. Attached
by clamps to an overhead towing carriage,
the model was weighted. balanced and
tipped to simulate sailing conditions in q
moderate wind. The carriage drove the
hun forward at a constant speed Of 794
knots and characteristics Of the craft were
measured as It SKINNED through the water.
From readings Of drag resistance and other
indications, tank engineers made predic-
tons as to how well the full-sized boat
should do under actual sailing conditions.
Four racers are competing for Cup
defender-the three whose models have
undergone testing at Stevens plus an 18-
year-old craft named Vim, owned by John
N Matthews. The selection Of the Amer
