Interclubs were sold at a good price, agreed to in advance by the owners. 

 Delivery of the new boats began in December 1936. Enthusiasm for the class, 

 called the International One Design, ran high, and the new boats began 

 racing in the summer of 1937, owned and skippered by some of the ablest 

 racing men in the country— a standard which has been maintained ever 

 since. 



Starting with the first fleet of twenty-five which came to Long Island 

 Sound, the International One Designs now have fleets as follows: Long Is- 

 land Sound, thirty-two (including eight boats belonging to the Sailboat 

 Training Facility, recently organized and sponsored by Herman F. Whiton); 

 Marblehead, Massachusetts, nine; Northeast Harbor, Maine, fifteen; San
