CRUISE OF THE NEW YORK YACHT 

 CLUB. 



A large fleet of yachts rendezvoused at Glen Cove, Aug. 6, 

 in obedience to orders issued from the flagship Restless, and 

 published in the Forest and Stream. Under the command 

 of Commodore 8. Nicholson Kane a large attendance was ex- 

 pected, owing to the exertions of the flag-officer to bring to- 

 gether a fine fleet for the usual trip East. By sundown the 

 following craft were found at anchor off the dock in the cove \

The captains assembled aboard of the Restless late in the 

 evening and received their sailing orders for the next day. 

 The first port was to be Shelter Island, Gardiners Bay, thence 

 to New j London, Newport ; remain over Sunday, and on 



Monday to New Bedford, and from there to Oak Bluffs, 

 Martha's Vineyard. The morning of the 7th opened with a 

 light breeze from the W. , and at the second gun from the 

 commodore the fleet got under way at 5h. 40m. A. u. All 

 had gaff topsails aloft and ballooners on deck ready to follow, 

 Clio set a big club at her main, and Active sported the fine 

 topsail we have often found occasion to admire. There is no 

 such other to be seen anywhere, and the man who made it 

 knows his business well. Vixen and Clytie were the first to 

 pay round, the sloop keeping the lee shore, with her boom to 

 starboard, Mr. Stokes' many hulled arrangement following in 

 her wake. Intrepid, a wholesome and able looking schooner, 

 by the way, followed, and Estelle, big Dreadnaughl, Restless, 

 with the blue pennant at her rnaiD, smart Clio, the cutter Vo- 

 lante, and famous Madeleine leaving the harbor astern in the 

 order named. The cruise had now begun in earnest. Vuiim, 

 Active and Rambler— the latter always slow to pay off- 

 brought up the rear. Staysails and ballooners were sent aloft, 

 I leur-de-IAs accompanied the fleet out, Sambler and Intrepid 

 bad a mild race for a while and did a little luffing together, 

 but without material result, the breeze being rather light for 

 such rough water boats. A short distance out Columbia van 

 descried standing across the sound for the fleet, and at 7 a. u. 

 her gun announced that she had joined the squadron. This 

 added another big one of 183 ions to the fleet. All hands 

 hugged the southern shore ; but Rambler tried mid-channel, 

 and picking up a little more wind, was followed by Intrepid, 

 Mr. Thomas' keel schooner showed that she was no slouch, 

 for in the light breeze she ran up on Clytie, and it takes a 

 pretty good schooner to do that any time, much more so when 

 a keel tries it on a centreboarder with a leading wind. She 

 even went by famous Columbia with an ease that astonished 

 many of those who swear by a board, especially when it can 

 be triced up more or less to suit the occasion. At, 9 a. m_ the 

 fleet was abreast of Black Kock and the wind had fallen light, 

 some of it being up and down the mast. Vixen, built by Al- 

 bertson of Philadelphia, has been doing remarkably well this 

 season, some of her success being due to the fine manner in 

 which she is handled. She maintained her lead with Estelle 

 and Clio in her wake. The fleet had divided into two 

 columns, one on the Long Island shore, the other along Con- 

 necticut, with Rambler and the crack Stamford schooner Cly- 

 tie in tbe van, and Columbia., Intrepid and the pretiy little 

 cutter following, steering about the tame course. The wind 

 backed to the S. and strengthened, so the ships jibed to port 

 one after another. At 10 a. m. the Middle Ground Light was 

 off their weather. Clytie and Columbia began to leave the 

 rest in their lot, as the wind freshened at noon. The wind 

 veered again to the W., and Rambler jibed over her mainsail, 

 running wing and wing. The northern division gradually 

 worked over to the Long Island shore, Vixen still leading, 

 Estelle second and Active and the Siamese twins close in their 

 wake, Vision and Clio to windward of the latter. Columbia 

 ran by Clytie, and Intrepid overhauled the other keels, when 

 trimming by a little, she made more for the southern shore 

 and took a good position. In the afternoon the steam yacht 

 Runaway, Mr. Aspinwall, joined the fleet, which was going 

 along finely at about eight Knots. By the time Horton's 

 Point Light bore due.S., Columbia had run ahead of all hands. 

 Clytie second and Rambler third in spite of her keel. Some- 

 times keels can sail it seems. Dreadnaughl,, likewise troubled 

 with a keel, was not far astern of Rambler, while Intrepid 

 was keeping well in company. At 3 p. m. the schooner 

 Foam, 102 tons, Commodore Boardman, E. Y. C, met the 

 fleet, came about and joined the rest wing and wing. In- 

 trtpidvient out into mid-channel, and putting her helm down, 

 trimmed aft again on the starboard tack, heading direct 

 for Orient Point. She failed to gain by the manceuvre. fi- 

 nally, when Plum Gut was fetched, the yachts hauled by the 

 wind and doused their lofty duds, as the breeze was about all 

 they wanted. Columbia led through with Clytie close aboard. 

 Rambler and Dreadnaughl tacked, the latter fetching out on 

 the others 1 weather, and the operation being repeated several 

 times, Mr. Osborn's schooner showed herself the more weath- 

 erly of the two, giving her rival a terrible blanketing on one 

 occasion, thereby gaining a material lead. It was a beat up 

 to the Manhanset House, and the craft fetched in to their 

 anchorage as under, Nereid and little Volante making harbor 

 later in the evening i

Apart from the sailing of Columbia — too well known to 

 need comment — the handsome beating Clytie gave to such 

 cracks as Madeleine and Estelle, as well as the excellent per- 

 formances of all the keels in the fleet, form the most note- 

 worthy points of the day's sail. Even Madeleine had to ac- 

 knowledge the running and turning qualities of Intrepid, 

 Rambler and Dreadnought. To be sure, there was something 

 of a breeze the better part of the day, but no one expects 

 two hundied tenners to be smart in cat-boat weather. It 

 takes something to get their fine qualities out of them, but 

 that they possess such no one will question who considers 

 this day's sailing in all its bearings. 



Thursday, Aug.. 8, the fleet was to make the run across to 

 New London. A start was effected at half-past one. Ram- 

 bler had previously hove up and picked her way out of the 

 harbor, which was very crowded at the time, and the steamer 

 Runaway had left an hour earlier. At the gun the sloops 

 were first to pay off, and headed for Orient Point with a free 

 wind, the big schooner Intrepid bringing up the rear. On the 

 run out the yachts in tlie match of the Atlantic Club were en- 

 countered, and some fine steering had to be done to avoid foul- 

 ing or taking the wind out of the racers' sails. Dreadnauglti 

 kept the channel with her main boom jibed over to starboard, 

 and Intrepid followed in her wake, while the smaller craft 

 hugged the Bhore along to the Point. Rambler in the mean- 

 time had hove to, awaiting the rest, and as soon as they came 

 up she filled away under Dreadnaught's lee. The breeze was 

 from the northwest, just strong enough to allow light sails to 

 be carried all around. Regina led through the gut, with Ac- 

 tive, Vixen, Clio, Estelle, Madeleine, Corning (who had joined 

 the fleet), Rambler, Vision, Restless, Foam, Recreation (also 

 added to the squadron), Dreadnought, Intrepid and Nereid 

 following through in the order named. In tbe sea, almost 

 always found in "the narrows of Plum Gut, the keels showed 

 again to advantage, for Rambler went by Madeleine, Estelle 

 and Olio, and took the lead among the schooners, with Dread- 

 nought and Intrepid off her weather quarter. At six bells, 

 the Vice's schooner had actually got tba best of all ths 

 sloops into the bargain, and was pointing tbe course 10 New 

 London to the entire squadron. Esielle sent up a club top- 

 Bail, but her rival, Olytie, had remained at anchor in Green- 

 port harbor, and so there was only Olio to bother her, Later 



on, when the breeze lightened up a bit, tbe centreboards be- 

 pan to show up better, for Madeleine and Ettelle ran up on 

 Rambler, and Clio improved her position materially. The 

 steamer Mystic, with a full head of steam and canvas set, had 

 all she could do to keep clear of the sailing craft. Estelle 

 went up on Rambler's quarter and passed her. Madeleine 

 essayed to run through the big one's Ice, but had to give it up 

 after a futile attempt. She put up her helm and ran broad 

 off for a While, then, luffing gradually, she passed ahead and 

 weathered on Rambler. Ah they approached the C. 

 shore they ran into smoother water, and it is somewhat re- 

 markable that the centreboards did not do better, but iluring 

 the entire cruise the keels proved themselves lough customers, 

 even to the best of the other clas3. Dreadiiavght and In- 

 trepid, with spinnakers set, rather took the wind from Made- 

 leine, dropping her astern, while Mr. Pacenix's schooner 

 gradually worked out ahead of the other. Madeleine luffed 

 and screwed up on Dreadnaught's weather, while poor Re 

 gina had to take an awful amount of blanketing from the 

 latter while under her lee. When Bartlelt's Keef light-ship 

 was reached, the fleet split into divisions, one going outside 

 and the other inside the ship. The big outs were now obliged 

 to follow up the channel while the sloops made a cut across, 

 by which they headed the fleet upon arriving off the Ptquot 

 House, in the river Thames. Active was the first yacht, in, 

 Regina second, Vixen third, and Intrepid. Esielle, Dread- 

 naughl, Madeleine, Clio, B'oam, Rambler, Coming, VtetQn and 

 Restless in the order named. There was a difference of oniy 

 nine minutes in the time of arrival Of the first and 

 in. The yvutnte and catamaran arrived later, an epjtit 

 was tendered the yachtsmen at the Pequor House, and was 

 extensively attended. In return, the guests of the hotel were, 

 invited to visit the fleet next da}'. Friday was quietly passi d 

 at anchor. The boat races were postponed un account of the 

 bad weather in the afternoon. Only two boats, pulling pair 

 oars with coxswains, were started, one belonging to /''<«»» 

 and the other to Estelle. The Foam's cutter won by a length, 

 after having Wrongfully taken Eslelle's water. At 7 p. u, a 

 thunder storm set in, and spare anchors were let go and cable 

 veered. In the evening the Commodore held a reception 

 aboard ihe Restkss. 



Saturday, Aug. 10, broke clear, with a light wind from the 

 southwest. Orders had been issued to start at !> a. m., so as 

 to benefit by the ebb as much as possible. Club topsails :tnd 

 balloon jibs were put into requisition by all the yachts. 

 iJrcadnaught and Clin dropped down with the tide, until 

 fairly outside the narrow stretch of river where the squadron 

 had lain at anchor. At half-past nine the guu went from the 

 Commodore, and a scene of life and bustle immediately en- 

 sued. Olio was of course first to gel away with a gOOdlea,d, 

 owing to her position outside of all. Regina followed, and 

 Estelle not fiU" astern, with booms to port. RambUr on 

 weather quarter of Dreculnaught, Vixen, Active, then Intrepid 

 and Clytie, Madeleine, Neieid, Foam, Corning and Vision 

 pretty much becalmed in the rear. Clio got more breeze out- 

 side, and gained a handsome lead, which stood her in good 

 service all day long. Upon bearing up, as soon as clear of 

 the river, the sloops boomed out their jibs, Regina being in 

 the lead, Vixen and Active in her wake. The wind fell very 

 light, and there was plenty of gee-hawking, trimming to every 

 cat's-paw that came along, or was supposed to come along. 

 Dreadnaughl, Intrepid and catamaran set spinnakers, and a 

 little after ten caught a light puff from W. 8. W., bringing 

 up the yachts in the rear. The breeze drawing to the west, 

 booms were jibed over lo starboard, Clytie keeping hev main 

 boom to port, and her balloon jib boomed out on the oppo- 

 site side. Abreast of Noank Clio had a long lead ; Vision was 

 off to leeward. The breeze shifted to the southwest, the 

 yachts slipping through at about six knots. At half past 

 eleven Stonington was passed, and, clearing Fisher's Island 

 to the south, the fleet found itself out on Atlantic's heaving 

 swell. The wind kept backing to the S. and freshening up 

 to nine knots. Schooner Agnes, of the Atlantic Y. C, waB 

 met bound to the westward. Clio was still leading, Estelle 

 second, followed by Dreadnaughl, Clytie, Rambler, Intrepid, 

 Foam, Madeleine and Restless among the schooners. Rambler 

 tried for Clylie's weather, both the latter and Dreadnaughl 

 lu ff i n g to suit. The centreboard was passed, however, while 

 Dreadnaughl was running up on Estelle. Shortly after doou 

 Ihe wind once more altered to the W., and Estelle and Ram- 

 bler got over their foresailB, running wing and wing. In the 

 meantime, among the sloops, Active and Vixen were trying 

 their hands at a luffing match, when suddenly, having luffed 

 far out of their course, Mi. Hurst put his helm up and played 

 a well-known prank on Vixen by running broad off and 

 through the latter's Ice, bearing away for Point Judith. At 

 three bells the leader was well up with the lighthouse on the 

 long Sandspit, with Estelle and Regina about a mile in her 

 wake. Clytie had doue some fine steering, and by cutting off 

 the comer had fetched up abreast of Estelle when the liu.e 

 came to wear for the harbor. Booms were got over to star- 

 board and light canvas Eet, as the wind had slackened and 

 drawn ahead somewhat, in the vicinity of the Brenton's 

 Reef Lightship Drendnaught had closed up mate! 

 Clio, aud Clytie was taking some of the BUuch out of Estelle. 

 Active was well up with Regina, and Rambler was gaining en 

 the three centreboards ahead. In a luffing match between 

 Estelle and Ctytie, Mr. Brooks served the farmer the same as 



Active hud done Vixen a short lime previous, and nr 



ing awBy shot through Estelle's lee. Rambler weathered on 

 both of them, and Estelle bearing down for her rival, put in 

 some effective blanketing, which again sent her ahead of the 

 Stamford schooner. After running past the Dumplings, the 

 fleet divided, some going in by Fort Adams, others to the 

 northward, off the torpedo station. They anchored as fol- 

 lows !

 fine run when the difference in tonnage between this cutter

 most amateurs and the fleet lay quietly at anchor for the day.
