Many of the sailors who use
the Washington Sailing Marina
on Daingerfield Island are at
odds with the Interior Depart
pent over a program of neces-
gary Improvements.
They charge waste in In
terior's insistence on installing
an $4,000 boat hoist instead
Of taking advantage of a free
crane that was offered and
repairing existing facilities.
They also protest Interiors
clinging to a master plan" of
marina improvements and a
decision to eliminate the pres
ent crane and trailer ramp.
In brief, the sailors feel that
additional launching facilities
are needed rather than fewer,
no matter how elaborate. To
this end, a council has been
formed to circulate a petition
seeking a unified stand among
all who use the marina. Ad-
dressed to Interior Secretary
Udall 1t reads:

More than 100 ringmen In
10 weight categories are en-

Sailors Object to Plan
For Improving Marina

improvements such as dredg-
ing, additional docks and a
refurbished clubhouse"
The council is composed of
Tyler Abel. secretary of the
Potomac River Sailing Associa-
ton, Charles S. Dills, past
commodore of Columbia Yacht
Club, Capt. Leonard E. Penso of
the Coast Guard and Carl w.
Tomlin, commodore Of Ma
tional Yacht Club.
Annual Meeting Thursday
Meanwhile. Abel is sending
out a letter urging that PRSA
members attend the annual
meeting at 8 pm. Thursday
at Capital Yacht Club and hash
out the subject.
Abel points out that the
marina was built about 1916
by the National Capital Park
Service.
For years, he says. the sailing
association has been trying to
have the launching facilities
improved. In 1861, It bought
an electric hoist for $125 and
offered it as a gift II the In
terror Department would install
it. This, plus an access road
and small sea wall, was esti-
mated at 50, 1000.
Without specifically reject
ing the offer. Abel adds. In
terror insisted on proceeding
with its master plan and
bought the big hoist, costing
$4,000, plus spending several
thousand dollars for cutting
down trees, laying out a new
parking lot and dredging.

has changed in the last few
years from being primarily
dock-based to being primarily
trailer-based. This is true of
both sailboats and powerboats.
and as a result the need for
increased facilities for taking
boats in and out of the water
has risen sharply.
THE Washington Sailing Ma
raia is the only public marina
now operated exclusively for
sailboats and should continue
to be exclusively for sailboats,
since the number Of boats
using this marina will increase
Just as quickly as the facilities
are improved to accommodate
them.
New Ramp Urged
THE most critical need at
the Sailing Marina is for ad-
ditional means of launching
boats. Although an electric
hoist is currently being in
stalled, it will be entirely in
dequate unless presently exist
ing facilities are retained and
kept in good working order.
I'm addition to the new
crane, a new trailer ramp is
needed. A trailer ramp provides
an easy means of launching, is
inexpensively installed, and if
properly designed. constructed
and located, will provide virtu-
ally maintenance-free launch
ing for years.
LAS soon as the problems of
launching facilities is taken
care of we feel that the in
creased use of the sailing
marina will justify additional

BY ROBERT SoMMERS

His early exposure to insurance peddng have given
Deane Beman mathematical of mind Listening to
him null over his "curaiment of golf is like holding con-
versaton with Univac Sometimes you feel you need an in

guage
Take for example the time he figures the Walker Cup

Take for example the tir
matches will consume from his
working year. Translated it's
a month, but according to Be-
man it's one-twelfth of a year.
Then there's the Masters, a
tournament he says he'll al
ways want to play in. II he
arrives on Monday and plays
through Sunday he'll be in Au-
gusta one week-in normal
conversation.
But no. Not a week-one
fifty-second of a year. The Ma
tional Open takes up another
one fifty-second, the National
Amateur another and then
there are those local tourna-
ments and member guests that,
for business purposes, it's usu-
ally prudent TO appear in.
That's a lot of one fifty
seconds. and they don't take
into account a couple of other
one fifty-Seconds he could use
to prepare for such as the
Open, Masters and Amateur.
Doubling each of them they
make a twenty-sixth apiece.
And before long, Beman con-
tends, there goes about three
months beg pardon; one
fourth of the year.
Competition in the insurance
business being what it is, the
question Beman asks himself is:
Can I afford to spend that
time not selling insurance."
And the answer he gets, ap-
parently, is:
Not all of it,"
For that reason, some of
those one fifty-econds that
used to be spent on the prac-
tice tee during his training
regimen will be spent in the
offices of Beman and Buppert
or else in the leather sole
league soaring up new &C
counts.
This is the area in which
Beman will cut down on his
golf. He'll still play in the
Masters and Amateur, in which
he has permanent invitations
and the Open when he can
qualify. And it's more than
likely he'll continue to accept
Walker Cup invitations.
1t came as no surprise that
Beman decided to play this
spring after saying he might
not. One doesn't say thanks,
but no thanks" to the United
States Golf Association after it
extends its highest playing
honor and then expect to be
invited again.
Cutting down on this prep
aration will change Beman's
outlook somewhat. He probably
never entered a tournament
including the Masters and Open
without the belief that he
could win.
That belief is tempered under
his new philosophy of playing
without what he calls proper
preparation"
I'm not going TO kid myself. :"
Beman said the other day. IF
I don't prepare for these tour
naments properly I don't have
a prayer against those guys. /"
Those guys include Arnold Pal
mer, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player
and an endless parade Of others
who are more than adequately
prepared.
When Beman explains his
new position this way, it's easy
to see why he flinches at the
term semi-retirement. Just a
little less high pressured. that's
all.

Mr.. Smith had a bad case Of

"There tUdS a young lady OF
