is reported that over seventy-five hundred youngsters have been taught 

 saihng in Dyer Dhows over the last thirteen years. 



Hundreds of Dhows are raced during the winter Frostbite seasons, in- 

 cluding a fleet of over seventy-five at Mamaroneck, New York. Since they 

 can be rowed, towed, sailed, or used with an outboard, they are versatile 

 boats. Their lightness of weight (120 pounds) makes them easy to carry 

 on top of a car. The class Secretary at the time of writing is Richard B. 

 Nye (Georgeson & Co., 52 Wall St., New York, N.Y.). 



The Dhows are built by The Anchorage in Warren, Rhode Island, and
