PLATE 6 



In ocean races today more and more yachtsmen are taking advantage of the fact that 

 temperature changes take place at the sea surface in relation to the position of ocean cur- 

 rents. This has been especially true in the Newport-Bermuda race which crosses the 

 Gulf Stream, variable in speed and position. The illustration shows Comanche leaving 

 Jubilee at the start of the Lipton Race, sailed in the Florida Current, at the headwaters 

 of the Gulf Stream.
