ATLANTIC Y. C. CRUISE. 



ACCORDING t o orders, the fleet of the Atlantic Y. C. met at 

 the rendezvous, New Rocuelle, on July 19, being moat hos- 

 pitably entertained by the New Roehelle Y. 0. The following 

 orders were issued bj Com. Lawton: The fleet will sail in two 

 divisions during the cruise. The schooner classes and classes 

 Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 of sloops will comprise the first division, -and 

 the other classes the second division. The signals for starting 

 wlU be given from the flagship as follows: First gun, preparatory 

 signal; second gun, starting signal for second division; third gun, 

 starting signal for first division. There will be an interval of 

 twenty minutes between each signal. To-day the preparatory 

 signal will he fired at 7 o'clock A. M , and on signals to start the 

 fleet will sail to Morris Cove. On Saturday the preparatory 

 signal will be fired at 7 o'clock A. M., and on signals to start the 

 fleet will sail for Deering's Harbor, Shelter Island. The fleet will 

 proceed from Shelter Island to New London or Stonington, thence 

 to Newport or New Bedford, as may he determined at a meeting 

 of captains to be held upon arrival of the fleet, at Shelter island. 



Storm in the evening rather dampened the proceedings, but the 

 yachtsmen were happy nevertheless. Next morning the fleet set 

 sail for Morris Cove, Athlon being the first in, Anaconda second. 

 There was a strong breeze all day, reefs and housed topmastts 

 being in order in the smaller craft. Choctaw outsailed Chispa by 

 a few minutes. The fleet included Anaconda, Athlon, Cavalier. 

 Chispa, Choctaw, Pollv, Hypatia, Rival, Daisy, Arab and Pas- 

 ttme. Grayling and Venitzia accompanied the fleet this far, but 

 continued on. After the fleet had anchored some excitement 

 was caused by a fire on board the flagship. The steward en- 

 deavored to fill alighted naphtha stove, the boat rolling somewhat 

 at the time, and spilled the naphtha over the lire. An explosion 

 naturally resulted in which his hands were burned. Aid was sum- 

 moned from the Cavalier, Athlon and other yachts, and the lire 

 was soon extinguished after doing considerable damage to the 

 joinerwork of the forecastle and the fore end of the cabin. The 

 run to Greenport was made on Saturday, the first part, as far as 

 Plum Gut, before the wind, ending with a hard beat in to Green- 

 port, Daisy losing her topmast. Arab lost a man off the bowsprit, 

 but he was picked up as he passed the stern. Mabel lost her main 

 boom and was towed in. The squadron lay at anchor over Sun- 

 day, the following vessels being all under the Atlantic flag, the 

 new Ellsworth yacht Tigress joining the fleet here: 



Schooners— Cavalier, T. J. Hogan; Grayling, L. A. Fish: Tidal 

 Wave, Dr. A. L. Raney; Agnes, J. N. Winslow. Sloops— Chispa.

 Pastime, Gen. J. Bliss; Ariadne, H. W. Banks; Arab, Edmund 

 Fish; Nepenthe, G. P. Slade; Daisy, W. H. Nichols; Stella, J. L,

The yachts in the harbor, other than those of the Atlantic Club, 

 were Madeline, Romana, Viator, Phantom, Eeli>ie, Nymph, 

 Nydra, Nirvaaia and Psyche. 



RHODE ISLAND Y. C. ANNUAL— JULY 15, 



THE fourth annual regatta of the Rbode Island Y. C. wassailed 

 on July 15 on the Providence River, the prize in each of the 

 three classes being a championship cup. In Class A, 30ft. and 

 over, the Low cup, already won twice by Peri, was offered; in Class 

 B, 24 to 80ft., the Flint cup, won twice by Diamond, and iti Glass 

 C the Anderson cup won once by Victor. The measurement is 

 that formerly used by the Atlantic and Larchmont clubs, a mean 

 length measured at two per cent, of waterline above, the actual 

 waterline. The courses were for classes A and B around stake- 

 boat off Rumstiek Point, leaving same on starboard, thence 

 around stakeboat southeast of Warwick light, leaving same on 

 starboard, and return to starting point at club house: 20 miles. 

 For class C, from the club house, passing from north to south, 

 thence around black spar buoy oft club house, leaving same on 

 starboard, thence around black spar buoy off club house, leaving 

 same on port, thence around black spar buoy off Green's Island, 

 leaving same on starboard, thence to starting point, 12 miles. 

 The entries were as follows:

Mignon did not start in consequence of some objection to a pre- 

 vious measurement. Olivette was not entered, but was allowed 

 to sail with the small class, her time being taken. 



There was a strong breeze, the cats reefing, but the course srave 

 little windward work. Peri kept within her allowance of Awa 

 through the race, finally winning by lm. She is well-known as 

 one of Alonzo E. Smith's old-time sloops. Awa, the widest of Mr. 

 Burgess's 40ft. fleet, lost a little time by the parting of her jib 

 tack, the jib being set on a stay, but she was fairly beaten by Peri. 

 Both are centerboard boats. Nepenthe did not complete the 

 course. She and Kelpie are both Herreshoff boats, and once con- 

 sidered quite fast. Peri retains the Low cup, having won it 

 three times; Diamond also takes the Flint cup for the third and 

 last time, while Faust wins a leg for the Anderson cup. The full 

 times were:

CHESAPEAKE BAY Y. C, JULY 12, 



rpHE annual open regatta of the above club was sailed on Satur- 

 JL day over the club course on Miles River. The course is l.'.'tg 

 statute miles, and the time allowance was the old one of two min- 

 utes to the foot in twenty miles; boats measured from inside of 

 stem to inside of sternpost, this antiquated system of allowance 

 being the only one practical under the circumstances, as this boing 

 an open event, many of the boats sailing cannot be measured until 

 the morning of the race. Their peculiar rig would also make very 

 complicated any of the present modes of measurement by water- 

 line and sail areas, so the club has adhered to the old rule until 

 we can find something applicable to our boats. 



The day opened cloudy, with a light air from S., which settled 

 to light breeze from S.W. by the time the start was made. The 

 race was for two classes of boats, one for our Chesapeake canoes, 

 that have been described in a former article, the other class was 

 made for the Chesapeake skiff, a class of boat being built in This 

 section within the past two years quite extensively and used for 

 oystering. These boats run from B0 to 40ft. long, sharp at both 

 ends, flat-bottomed, but with from three to six or more inches 

 deadrise; no frame except the side timbers, the bottom being made 

 of 3 to 4in. pin6 plank, dowel-bolted together and fastened to the 

 sides, which are stiffened by a heavy clamp strake running along 

 the lower edge. They are half -decked, with a little cuddy for- 

 ward. 



The canoe class was open to all canoes, but those under 30ft. 

 were rated at 30, and the same rule prevailed in the skiff class. 

 The canoes entered were the Susie B., Lucy Lee, Alice May, 

 Eunice and Mamie, all under 30ft. hut rating ai 30; Gertie, 30ft. 

 3in.; Only Son, 31ft. 10in.; Lauretta, 34ft.. 10in., and the island Bird, 

 35ft. 2in. The latter is the most completely and beautifully fitted 

 canoe on the bay, and is considered by many to be the fastest, boat 

 in our waters; but the. lightness of the breeze was much against the 

 larger boats in the second race. 



The canoes were started as follows: Susie B„ Alice May, 



Manie, Lucy Lee, and Eunice were started together at 11:45; 

 Susie B. having the windward berth, the time allowance was de- 

 ducted at the start, causing the Gertie, to get off 18H seconds 

 later. (Inly Son came next, lm. 58s. after the Gertie, Lauretta 

 3m. 45s. after Only Son, and the Island Bride 25s. after the 

 Lauretta. 



The boats all started on the starboard tack but after going a 

 short distance all made a hitch to windward and some of them 

 two short tacks, then all had a close reach to Long Point Buoy. 

 The Gertie, handled by the veteran James Plummer of St. 

 Michaels, quickly picked up her time on the boats ahead and soon 

 assumed the lead, the Bride, though not benefitted by the light 

 zephyrs as much as her smaller competitors, commenced to pick 

 up the fleet also. The Gertie rounded Long Point Buoy with a 

 long lead; from this point the boats had the wind on their port 

 quarter and it was a beautiful sight from the club steamer to see 

 these graceful craft coming for the Hill Buoy with every thing set: 

 nearly all of them carrying large square topsails on fore and 

 main masts over their other sails. The Gertie passed the Hill 

 Buoy at 12:58:30, Island Bride 1:07, Eunice 1:07:10. Lauretta 1:09, 

 Only Son 1:13, Lucy Lee and Manie lapped 1:14, and Alice May 

 brought up the rear at 1:14:20. 



From this point it was dead off the wind with spinakers to star- 

 board. The wind having freshened a trifle the Bride, began to 

 wake up and chased the fleet Gertie hard. At Wyetown Buoy 

 the Gertie turned first, the Bride second, the Eunice third, and 

 the others strung out. Now it was a beat dead to windward to 

 the line at Deep Water Point, and the burning question on the 

 point and on the club steamer was: "Can the Bride catch the 

 Gertie ?" They stick together afraid to break tacks, working the 

 port shore to avoid the strong ebb tide. 



As they near the line the excitement is great, but Gertie has a 

 safe lead, and although the beautiful Bride gained on her she 

 could not close the gap in time, and Gertie crossed the line at 

 2.11, Bride 3m. later, at 3:44. sailing over the course in 3m, 9s. less 

 time than Gertie, but not able to save her time allowance, Eunice 

 third at 2:47:32, Laurette did not finish, and the times of the others 

 not taken. 



In the skiff race the entries were Bateman, Miles River, Two 

 Brothers, Sneak and Lizzie F. Lizzie F. was started at 1:03, Sneak 

 next at lm. 15s. after Lizzie. Two Brothers allows Sneak 3m, 32s. 

 and starts after that time elapses. Bateman and Miles River, 

 both of the same length, allow Two Brothers 10s. and are off to- 

 gether. They sail the same course as the canoes, and after a very 

 close race between the leading boats come in as follows: Sneak 

 first at 3:33:00, Bateman second at 3:35:30, Brothers third at 3:44:30. 

 times of others not taken. Gertie wins first in canoe class and 

 Island Bride second. Sneak first in the skiff class and Samuel 

 Bateman second. Regatta committee, J. G. Morris, J. H. Wheeler 

 and Capt. Thompson. A large number of the club members with 

 their families and friends were present on the club steamer and 

 a numerous assembly viewed the race from the point.

BY NAPHTHA TO NAG'S HEAD. 



WINDSOR, N. C, June 17,-1 have been fishing around here 

 in the river all this season, catching a few black ba«s and 

 perch, until it got to be rather poor sport, and thinking that I 

 would find good fishing at Nag's Head, a hundred miles below 

 here, I concluded to make the trip. So last Wednesday Capt. O., 

 Tom, Charlie and the writer put fishing rods, canvas boat and 

 lunch on board my 25ft. naphtha launch Tuscarora, and at 2 o'clock 

 P. M. left here and steamed down the Cashie to Albemarle Sound. 

 We reached the head of the Sound at 5:30 o'clock, making the run 

 of 33 miles in Wz hours; oiled up and prepared to spend the night 

 on the broad and rough waters of the Albemarle. At 6 o'clock we 

 steamed out and pointed about east for Nag's Head, 70 miles away. 

 We expected to make the run iu 8 hours, but found that the Tus- 

 carora could not. go as fast in rough water as in the river, where 

 the water is smooth. Everything went well until 1 o'clock when 

 we managed to break our compass and thereby lost the way, 

 going into Currituck Sound instead of Roanoke Sound as we 

 should have done. We ran on the wrong course for about an 

 hour, and therefore had to run back for an hour, losing two huurs. 

 Just as the sun rose Thursday morning we dropped anchor at 

 Nag's Head, just in time to have our names in the pot for break- 

 fast, having made the run of a hundred miles in 14 hours. The 

 landlord of the new hotel, Mr. J. M. Whedbee, sent out. a boat and 

 took us off, and gave us a good breakfast of fresh spots, etc. We 

 had been up all night, and were of course very sleepy and tired. 

 After dinner we took a scroll along the ocean beach, spending the 

 time very pleasantly until night. 



Next morning the wind was blowing very hard and we voted for a 

 trip to the fresh ponds, four miles above Nag's Head, about equal 

 distance from sound and ocean. We arrived at the main pond in 

 about an hour, set up the canvas boat and caught bait with the 

 little hand-seine which we took along. Charlie and myself went 

 in the boat, while Capt. O. and Tom put on their old clothes and 

 waded in. The black bass and perch were in the notion of taking 

 the bait, and in three or four hours we caught a bushel of fish, 

 which was as. many as could be consumed by the workmen at the 

 hotel. We therefore quit, went out to a shade tree, ate our lunch 

 and had a smoke, after which we made our way back by way of 

 the ocean beach, taking a plunge in the surf on our way down. 

 Counting our fish we found that we had caught 33 black bass; we 

 did not count- the perch, etc. 



Next day (Saturday! salt- water fishing was in order, and as we 

 had no 6pare naphtha we had to hire a sailboat. Sailing four 

 miles across the Sound we dropped anchor just off Roanoke 

 island, and there caught bluefish, trout, croakers, spots, etc., 

 until all hands were tired of the sport. We returned to the hotel 

 at 4 o'clock, took dinner, and la ter a bath iu the surf. Made ready 

 on Saturday night for an early start home Sunday morning, but 

 at 2 o'clock the wind came out from the northeast and blewagale. 

 We therefore had to lie over until Monday morning, as we wanted 

 to make the run back by daylight. Monday morning at 5:10 found 

 us steaming up the Sound; wind moderate from N.E. Reached 

 home at 7 o'clock P. M., making the run in fourteen hours, just 

 the time it took to make the run down. 



All of us were glad to reach home again and anxious to make 

 another trip to Nag's Head and the fresh ponds. Cashie. 



KEEL VS. BOARD. 



THE Boston Globe of July 20 speaks as follows of the center- 

 board in the 40ft. class: "It is interesting to note that De- 

 signer Burgess believes that a centerboard 40-footer can be 

 designed which will beat both the Minerva and Gossoon. He rea- 

 sons from the good results which have been obtained with such 

 centerboard boats as the Nymph, Verena and Choctaw. These boats 

 were all designed as cruising craft; they have heavy and wind- 

 catching cabin trunks, and their scantling is much heavier than 

 it would need to be for a yacht intended solely for racing. A 

 flush-decked lightly built 10-footer of the Verena's type, with all 

 weights kept down, and put into low ballast, would be a formidable 

 craft to beat. She would of course be a 'racing machine,' as she 

 would not have head room in the cabin. But when the merits of 

 keel vs. centerboard model are to be considered, it is unfair to the 

 centerboard that she should be compelled to carry a big house on 

 deck^ and to practically have no deck room from which to handle 



A comparison of the records up to date show that there is very 

 little in the performances of Nymph, Verena, Choctaw or Chiquita 

 to indicate that they can beat Minerva, much less a better keel 

 40. Beside these is the centerboard Gorilla, a flush-deck racing 

 boat with a very fair recird, but not able to head off either Liris 

 or Minerva. We were under the impression that Mr. Burgess 

 already bad two flush-decked, lightly built, low ballasted racing 

 craft afloat in Ventura and Mocassin, one of which has been 

 badly beaten by Minerva. If they wilt not give sufficient evidence 

 by the end of t he season, there are the two centerboard racing ma- 

 chines in the 80ft. class. Shark and Hawk, to be heard from along- 

 side of Saladinand Kathleen. These centerboard boats are hardly 

 more than a big deck with a centerboard trunk below if, there is 

 no room for any sort of life aboard, and t hey are veritable racing 

 machines. At the same time it is likely that Saladin, an excel- 

 lent boat for cruising and racing, will beat them. Mr. Burgess 

 himself has taught us that the day of the centerboard for small 

 yachts has gone by. and the four boats, Ventura, Mocassin, Shark 

 and Hawk, are likely to give added proof of this fact. 



NEWARK Y. C— The Newark Y. C. will hold it eighth annual 

 sweepstakes regatta on Aug. 16, over the course oft' the new club, 

 at Bayonne, from line between end of club dock and stakeboat 

 off same, thence to Red Spar Buoy off lighthouse, thence to stake- 

 boat anchored off the west draw of the Central Railroad long 

 bridge, thence to the place of beginning. Sailing twice over the 

 course, keeping all marks of the port side. The time allowance 

 will be one minute to the foot of the waterline, with one-half of 

 the overhang added. An entrance fee of p w ill be made for all 

 classes, two-thirds to go to the winner and one-third to the 

 second, if there are four boats in the class. Entries will he. taken 

 by A, F. Adams, of 746 Broad street, Newark, N. J. 



NEW YORK Y. R. A. ANNUAL CRUISE.-The programme 

 for the annual cruise, as recommended in the report of commit- 

 tee adopted April 19, is as follows: The cruise will begin on July 

 28. Yachts will rendezvous off the Harlem Y. C. house, College 

 Point, L. I., on Saturday afternoon, July 26, reporting to the fleet 

 captain and remaining at anchor over Sunday and sail as follows: 

 Monday to Oyster Bay, Tuesday to Roton Point, Norwalk Islands, 

 Wednesday to Black Rock, Thursday to Lloyd's Harbor, Friday 

 to Indian Harbor, Saturday to Sea Cliff and disband. The start 

 will take place at 9 A. M. each day; at 8:30 A. M. a gun will be 

 fired to prepare to start, and all yachts must remain at anchor 

 until the starting gun is fired. The first yacht reaching the 

 destination for the day will take her own time of arrival, anchor 

 in some convenient place, hoist an ensign, and take the time of 

 arrival of all the other yachts, all of which must pass between 

 this yacht and the nearest shore; the record of each day's inn 

 shall be delivered to the fleet captain immediately after the 

 arrival of the last yacht. Y T achts desiring to leave the fleet must 

 first obtain leave from the admiral. During the cruise the presi- 

 dent of the Association shall command the fleet and act as 

 admiral of the fleet, and shall issue such orders as may be 

 necessary. He shall also appoint a fleet captain, who shall see 

 that his orders are executed. The vice-president of the Associa- 

 tion shall act as vice-admiral during the cruise, and in the 

 absence of the admiral shall command the fleet. The admiral 

 shall appoint a fleet surgeon, who shall attend to all sickness or 

 accidents to members while on the cruise. The fleet shall be 

 composed of a squadron from each club in the Association, num- 

 bered according to date of organization, and each squadron will 

 be commanded by the commodore of the club composing the 

 squadron, w r ho shall receive all orders from the admiral and ex- 

 ecute the same. All yachts shall carry tho Association flag at the 

 mast head and its club flag on the peak, but yachts may display 

 both flags at the mast head when at anchor. A. J. Prime, Geo. 

 Parkhill and R. Puhlman, Committee. The programme for the 

 union regatta on Sept. 1 has been sent out. 



QUAKER CITY Y. C.-Com. Middleton has taken command o f 

 the squadron for the annual cruise, and the following general 

 order has bt en issued: "The vessels of the fleet will rendezvous 

 at Wbitestone, Long Island, for the annual squadron cruise on 

 Monday, Aug. 4. Captains will report aboard the flagship at 9 

 o'clock P. M., at which time the movements for the earlier days 

 of the cruise will be decided upon. The cruise will extend to New 

 London and Newport. There will be two divisions of the fleet 

 during the cruise; the first division comnrising all schooners, 

 first and second class sloops and stearn yachts. The second divi- 

 sion comprising third and fourth class sloops, open yachts and 

 steam launches. The daily runs will be trials of speed for all 

 classes, and the first yacht arriving at the destined pore will take 

 its own time and that of the others, and report the result to the 

 commodore. In all races the second division will start thirty 

 minutes in advance of the first division. The signals for starting 

 will be as follow T s: First gun from the flagship to prepare to sail: 

 ten minutes later, second gun from flagship, for second division 

 to start; thirty minutes later, third gun from flagship, for first 

 division to start. The routine and rules contained in the club 

 manual will be observed during the cruise. Yachts, when in 

 squadron, are earnestly requested to take their ship's time in 

 striking bells from that of the flagship; and iu no case to antici- 

 pate it. Captains intending to join the squadron are requested to 

 notify the fleet captain at the ciub house, 911 Walnut street, an as 

 early a date as possible. By order of the Commodore. Samuel 

 A. Wood, Fleet Captain." 



INDIAN HARBOR Y. C— The second annual regatta nf this 

 club will be sailed off Greenwich, Conn,, on Saturday, Aug. 2, 

 under the rides of the New York Y. R. A. Suitable cups will be 

 given as prizes in each class where two or more boats start. The 

 classes will be as follows: Open jib and mainsail boats ovet 27ft 

 and not over 32ft., 23ft. and not over 27ft. , 23ft. and under. Open 

 catboats over 27ft. and not over 32ft., 23f t. and not over 27ft.. 20ft 

 and not over 23ft., 17ft. and not over 20ft., 17ft. and under. The 

 measurement will be the mean length, i. e , the load waterline. plus 

 half the overhang aft. Crews will be limited to one man to every 

 3ft. of sailing length or part thereof, in addition to the helmsman 

 Shifting ballast will be allowed. Time allowance will be figured' 

 according to the Herreshoff table. The course will be five nauti- 

 cal miles to windward (or leeward) and return, from stakeboats 

 anchored between Little Captain's Island and Greenwich Point 

 An entry fee of $1 will be charged all yachts that are not enrolled 

 in clubs belonging to the New York Y. R. A . Owners of yachts in 

 any class desiring to enter for a sweepstake of £35 each, to be 

 sailed for in addition to the regular prizes, are requested to advise 

 the committee to that, effect before 9 A. M. of the morning of the 

 regatta. The race will be started at 1 P. M. precisely, provided 

 the conditions aTe favorable. The club steamer will leave the 

 Greenwich dock at 13:15 P. M. and the Indian Harbor Hotel dock 

 at 1&3Q P. M. Entries will close July 31. Regatta Committee— H. 

 E. Doremus, Chairman; Richard Outwater, F. B. Jones. Address, 

 Silleck House, Greenwich, Conn. 



NEW YORK Y. C— It is a long way from the little blue and 

 gold volume published by the New York Y. C. in 1880 to the hand- 

 some and shipshape book of the present vear. the 46th oflthe club's 

 existence. The change in bindings is but an index of the great 

 change that has taken place m yachting, there is a good deal 

 more canvas and hard weather, and correspondingly less of the 

 blue and gold than in the past. A look through the two books 

 shows many interesting comparisons; the membership in 1S80 was 

 395, including honorary and life; now it is 770, or nearly double. 

 The fleet Jin 1880 included 38 schooners, 27 singlestickers and 20 

 steamers, the latter nearly all small craft. This year it numbers 

 75 schooners, 75 sloops, cutters and yawls, and 82 steamers, many 

 of them powerful sea-going vessels. In 1880 there were two keel 

 cutters on the list, Muriel and Volante; now they rival the sloops 

 in number. The new book, in addition to the signal code and 

 much other matter not found in the old, contains a reproduction 

 of the Coast Survey chart of the harbor, giving the two courses of 

 the club. It is the handsomest and most complete book the club 

 has yet issued; the covers, of semi-flexible canvas, with rounded 

 corners, make it easily carried ia the pocket, the color of the can- 

 vas being neat and serviceable. Each member's copy has the 

 name of his yacht stamped on the front cover. 



PLEON Y. C, MARBLEHEAD, July 16— The twenty-second 

 regatta of the Pleon Y. C. was sailed on Wednesday of last week 

 in a fresh N. VY. wind. Tantrum lost by a mistake in the course, 

 her crew not being familiar with the waters. The times were:

GREAT SOUTH BAY.— On July 15 a race was sailed over the
