FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Sept. 3, 1891. 



the two yachts in qiiestion for the last place over the line; each 

 accepting a handicap on the first day in the eilort to he last. 



The q^uestion whether a yacht, having once crossed and her time 

 heing taken, can cross again, was practically decided in the 

 affirmative hy the committee iu recording officially the time of 

 the second crossing; but this principle we believe to be wrong, as, 

 if fully carried out, it must lead to seiious complications. To 

 consider an extreme case: An interval of five, and sometimes ten, 

 minutes in which the yachts may cross the line is quite the cus- 

 tom in American racing, though we are glad to say that the in- 

 terval is being grad^ially shortened, and of late is frequently dis- 

 pensed with in favor of the one-gun start. In certain weather it 

 is considered good judgment to start last, and yachts are not 

 infrequently handicapped in the effort to put another boat over 

 the line ahead of them. Supposing now that a yacht has crossed 

 the line with a little wind about gun-fire and finds after several 

 minutes have gone that she is becalmed near the line, the time 

 being counted against her, while a more favored rival who has 

 not yet crossed is preparing to sheet out her spinaker and go over 

 with a rush before a coming breexe. It Avould certainly be unfair 

 to let the first yacht, after throwing away her chance and losing, 

 have another trial by working back and crosing the line a second 

 time astern of her rival. Sucli an extreme case is seldom likely to 

 occur, though we have seen conditions under which it might be 

 possible; but if it is an understood thing that a yacht shall be 

 timed finally the first time that she crosses the line after the 

 starting signal, there will be no chance for such maneuvers. 



A yacht is always at liberty to start as long after the others as 

 she chooses, and under most conditions she can injure no one hut 

 herself in so doing, but a peculiar case in which this privilege 

 was abused has lately occurred in a canoe race. The course was 

 six roiinds of a triangle with half-mile sides, making nine miles 

 in all. A canoe which wns duly entered was temporaril y disabled 

 at the start, and after making repairs waited until the leaders 

 had completed the first round and began the second, when she 

 started with them to begin her first round. Though without the 

 faintest show of winning from the field of 13 fast boats, she 

 was no doubt legally entitled to start when she pleased, and 

 she availed herself of the privilege, making a race with one of the 

 leaders, claiming right of way in tacking, and sailing in all re- 

 spects as though she had started with the rest. Although this 

 action practically amounted to the interference of an outside 

 boat in the race, there is no rule of a yacht or canoe club which 

 prohibits it; at the same time a regatta committee would be jus- 

 tified in exercising the discretion accorded to it by most rules and 

 ordering the offending boat olT the course. 



A RACE WASTED.— Though prizes and races have been plenty 

 this year it seems rather a perversion of the end for which prizes 

 are given to offer several for the result of one race. The Cherry 

 Diamond Y. C, after sailing two races for its Iflft. cup, has just 

 thrown a third race away entirely by giving a leg for the cup to 

 the M'inner of a race held by another club, for which two prizes 

 were already offered. The object of prize giving is not merely to 

 endpw yachtsmen with silverware but to promote yacht racing. 



THE NEW YORK Y. R. A.— The annual regatta of the New 

 Y^'ork Y. R. A. on Labor Day promises to be a great success, a 

 large number of entries having been received. 



EASTERN Y. C. CRUISE. 1891. 



THE annual ci-uise of the Eastern Y. C. took place considerably 

 later than usual this year, but it did not suffer any on that 

 account, and, as club cruises go, must be counted a very success- 

 ful one. Fog and light winds were found in plenty, and the rac- 

 ing amounted to very little save for the amusement of those im- 

 mediately interested; but all who took part report the trip as a 

 most enjoyable one. The programme this year had two novelties; 

 a series of racing runs for good prizes were arranged, while a tug, 

 the Doane. was chartered to accompany the fleet, taking times at 

 start and finish and doing such other service as was required, be- 

 sides carrying the representatives of several papers, to which is 

 due the fact that the details of the cruise were not entirely lost to 

 the outside world. 



The racing division ^\'as in two classes, schooners and single- 

 stickers, with three prizes for each, the score being made up as 

 foKows: Each yacht is placed according to her position at the 

 finish, the first receiving one point, the second two points, etc. 

 Yachts which start but do-not finish will be given one point more 

 than the greatest number of finishing yachts; while those who do 

 not start in any run will be given one point more than the great- 

 est numbar of starters in that run. The smallest number of points 

 wins the first prize, the next the second, and the third takes third 

 prize. The single-stickers were to start 15 minutes ahead of the 

 schooners, the preparatorv interval being 15 minutes for each, 

 with 5 minutes to cross. The fleet included the following yachts, 

 those entering for the races being marlied with a

Fir^t Emu Marhlclicad to Eastern Point, Any. "23.— The start was 

 set for Saturday, the destination being the Isle of Shoals, but the 

 weather was so bad, with fog and light winds, that the signal was 

 set for Eastern Point, Gloucester, from the fiagshlp Sea Fox when 

 the start was finally made at 1:;30. The race was very unsatis- 

 factory, the course being but 10 miles, the weather bad, while the 

 leading schooners, Peerless and Fortuna, not knowing that the 

 finish was to be timed as a race, went inside of Half Way Rock 

 and Gossoon parted a turnbuckle and put back. The official 

 times were:

Owing to lack ol official measurementB, no corrected times were

 to run to Boothbay next dav, a distance of 80 miles. 



Second Rn7i, Eastern Point to Isle of Shoals. Aug. S3,— Ea.Tlv in 

 the morning the signals were set for a run to Portland and at '9:30 

 the fleet started with a light northerly wind. This soon fell, the 

 breeze coming for a time from the east, and a fog finally hiding 

 everything. Signals were set for the lale of Shoals, most of the 

 fleet finally reaching thai port, though all semblance of a race 

 was abandoned early in the day. Thelma did not see the second 

 signal and kept on alone for Portland. Volunteer struck a rocky 

 ledge oft White Island but came off alone withotit injury. Mon- 

 day was butlittle better than Sunday, the fleet lying at anchor all 

 day. 



mrcl Run, Isle of Shoals to Boothlxtii, Au(i. 25.— Tuesday was a 

 fair, bright day, with a fresh south wmd, and an early start was 

 made for Boothbay, 61 miles distant. The schooners in particTilar 

 had a fine race, over such a course with wind and sea suiting; 

 Volunteer winning easily. Hera lost her topmast and put in to 

 Rockland, joining the fleet at Camden. The full times were:

Sayonara went on the wrong side of Old Man Ledge, being 

 obliged to return and pass it on the proper side, thus losing a good 

 lead. The wind fell so light after the race that the fleet only 

 made Owl's Head, anchoring for the night. The 10 miles to Cam- 

 den were run on Thursday morning in a light east wind and rain. 

 The fleet laid at Camden over Friday, the weather being still 

 uupleaeant. 



Fifth Run, Camcicn to Bar Harhor, Aug. m. —The last run of 60 

 miles, from Camden to Bar Harbor, was made under racing con- 

 ditions, with a strong N. W. wind, but none of the schooners raced, 

 by mutual agreement. The race proper, from Camden to Bass

THE CORINTHIAN MIDSUMMER SERIES-1891. 



ALTHOUGH this year for the first time a Goelet cup has been 

 won by a yacht under the70£C. class, such an event is alto- 

 gether exceptional, and 1 he two great trophies of the year, the 

 Goelet cups, belong by right only to yachts of the larger classes. 

 With the increase of racing in the classes under 53ft. two other 

 annual events have come in to provide races for them; both of 

 which, like the tioolet cup contests, are generally rated as far 

 ahead of the usual matches and club regattas. The annual sweep- 

 stakes of the Corinthian Y. C. of Now York, sailed each year oft" 

 Newport at the termination of the New York Y. C. cruise, lias in 

 the three years since it was established become one of the leading 

 racing events of the year; while the similar races of the Coriu- 

 thian Y. C. of Marblehead, following a week or two later, rank 

 beside it in importance. Coming as tliey do at the end of the sea- 

 son, when the enHre fleet is at itsliest and the rivalry is most 

 keen; sailed over good courses and offering a permanent record 

 from year to year, they naturally stu-pass the earlier events, and 

 are to a great extent looked to for a final summing tip of the 

 season. 



While the Corinthian Y. C. of New York holds but one race, the 

 Marblehead club has adopted a series of three as being even more 

 interesting to the contestants, and giving a more conclusive re- 

 sult. This year the principal prize wa=^ a $200 cup, but in addition 

 a $100 cup was offered to the individual winner in eat-h race. The 

 dates finally set were Aug. 27, 28 and 29, the course being the 24- 

 mile triangle oft" Marblehead, with Mai-blehead Rock, the firaves 

 Whistling Buoy and the Eastern Y. C. seamark for its angles, 

 each leg being 8 miles; the course to be sailed one way or the other 

 according to the wind; yachts in no case passing to the westward 

 of Tom Moore's Rocks, Tinker's Island or the buoy on the Outer 

 Breaker oft' Pig Rocks. The races were under the, management 

 of the regatta committee of the Corinthian Y. C, Messrs. Geo. C. 

 Adams, Geo. A. Stewart, W. P. Fowle, Geo. W. Mansfield and W. 

 Keith, with Messrs. Daniel Appleton, W. N. Merriam, Geo. W. 

 Mansfield and L. Whitcomb a^ judges. 



For two years the races have been open to the 40ft. class, but 

 this year as a matter of course the 46ft. was chosen, all yachts of 

 the class being elictible. Every effort was made by the commit- 

 tee to secure a full entry of the whole class, and in particular to 

 get Gloriana in, but without success. Mr. Morgan positiv'Siy de- 

 clined, as he has determined to race the yacht no more this sea- 

 son. Nautilus, Jessica and Uvira did not e-o round the Cape, Say- 

 onara sailed off with the Eastern Y. C. fleet on its cruise, and but 

 five yachts started. These were 0 weene. with some repairs and 

 alterations after her racing at Newport; Beatrix with a larger 

 mainsail, Barbara, Mineola and Alborak. The latter boat has re- 

 cently had a new sternpost put in, the keel being lengthened 3ft. 

 on the after end, thus decreasing the rake of post, while the rud- 

 der has been altered and her lead has been changed, the result on 

 the whole being a decided improvement. 



First Race, Aug. m. 



Thursday morning was cold, rainy and foggy, with no wind, but 

 by 9 A. M. a light breeze snrang up, and shortly after the steam 

 yacht Melissa, loaned by Mr. C. S. Eaton to the regatta commit- 

 tee, summoned the yachts and ran out to Marblehead Rock. It 

 was decided to sail the off-shore leg first, thus making a reach 

 to the sea mark, a second reach to the Graves and a beat home. 

 Three minutes were allowed for cros.sing the line, the preparatory 

 intervals being 15m. The first whistle sounded at 10:46. the actual 

 preparatory at 10:55 and the start at 11. All the yachts carried 

 clubtopsails and had balloonjilitopsails in stops, Alborak, how- 

 ever, having her No. 1 jibtopsail. She was sailed by Com. Crown- 

 inshield, while Mr. Foster steered Barbara, Capt. Barr, Oweene, 

 Oapt. Harry Haff, Mineola and Capt. Crocker, Beatrix. Alljorak 

 broke out her jibtopsail with the gun and went over in the load on 

 port tack, Mineola following close and at once starting a luffing 

 match. Barbara was a minute later, while Oweene and Beatrix, 

 each trying to start last, were handicapped, the one 9 and the 

 other 58s. 



The times were: 



Alborak 11 00 14 Oweene 11 03 00 



Mineola 11 00 35 Beatrix 11 03 00 



Barbara 11 01 12 



There was wind enough to drive the boats at a fair pace against 

 the tide, and Barbara at once laid her course straight for the 

 mark, leaving the other two couples to bollier each other. Her 

 jib was set in stops, as on Miueola and Oweene, but Beatrix and 

 Alborak had jibs drawing. The fog soon thickened, but Barbara 

 still hold a straight course, Mineola, Alborak and Beatrix all over- 

 standing. Tlie first mark was timed;

Oweene 13 f)3 09 1 00 33 



Beatrix 13 03 27 1 00 48 



Barbara made a blunder at the turn in lowering her balloouer 

 and setting her No. 1 after jibing, losing time in shifting to the big 

 sail again when she realized the eiror. Alborak shifted her No. 

 1 for a balloouer, while the other tliree merely jibed their balloon- 

 era for the second leg. AVhen Barbara was finally in shape, Albo- 

 rak was on her weather, but she began to work away from the big 

 boat. Just astern were Mineola and Oweene, the latter being to 

 leeward. As she worked out from under Mineola to cross, Oapt. 

 Half began to luff, and for a time the two had it hot and heavy. 

 This gave Beatrix a chance to catch them, and she, too, was busy 

 with Oweene trying to pass her; Mineola in the meanwhile leav- 

 ing the pair. Barbara was steerpd as well on the second leg as on 

 the first, hitting the mark to a nicety and rounding with a lead of 

 over 2m. on Alborak, the times being:

Beatrix 1 17 03 1 13 36 



The windard leg was sailed with rather more wind, especially 

 inshore, where Barbara, Oweene and Alborak looked for it. On 

 this leg Oweene pulled up on Barbara, but was unable to catch her; 

 the finish being timed:

Although the conditions were unsatisfactory, the race was a 

 fair one, Barbara winning on her merits, her course boiug the best 

 of the lot, while she moved very fast. The wind and smooth 

 water favored Alborak. but she made a very poor showing beside 

 the leaders. Mineola did very poorly, besides losimj tim« in the 

 frequent lufling matches.

Second Race, Atig. 2S. 

 On Friday morning the wind was shifting about from the south, 

 and the inshore leg, to the Graves, was finally selected as the first 

 one. The yachts carried clubtopsails, the wind being moderate. 

 When the start was given at 11:15, Alborak was just at the 

 weather end of tae line, crossing within 5 seconds on port tack, but 

 tacking offshore at once. Mineola was on the lee end of the line 

 in company with Beatrix and Oweene, Beatrix on port and 

 Oweene on starboard tack. Mineola crossed atll:15;26, and Beatrix 

 came close astern, nipping to get by the mark, when Oweene to 

 leeward tried to pass between her and the mark. Oweene's bow- 

 sprit struck the boom of Beatrix, the latter boat crossing the 

 line, wearing, and making a circle around the mark; recrossing 

 tlie line. Oweene, with a protest flag flying, continued her course. 

 Barbara was minding Uer own business, cros.sing the line alone. 

 The start was timed: 



Alborak 11 16 05 Barbara 11 16 44 



Mineola .11 15 36 Beatrix 11 17 36 



Oweene 11 15 41 



Alborak held well oft' shore, the rest working close to Marblehead 

 Neck and along by Swampscott. Barbara part ed her bobstay when 

 off Lynn Harbor, and a few m'nutes later Mineola met with the 

 same mishap. Barbara lost some time iu repairing damages, but 

 finally proceeded, Mineola giving up. Alborak had done well thus 

 far. leading the inshore boats when they came together, but 

 Beatrix gradually passed her. taking the lead, while Oweene 

 worked into second place before the mark was reached. The 

 times at the Graves were:

Runnirg out to windward and making a wide turn, Beatrix 

 started sheets for a reach to the second mark, setting a No. 2 jib- 

 topsail. Oweene doing the same, while Alborak carried only her 

 clubiopsail and lower sails. Withmore wind in the middle of the 

 leg, jibtop^ails came in. Oweene setting hers again as the wind 

 fell near the second mark, while Beatrix set a baby. The times at

After jibing, spinakers were set to port and the last leg was 

 nearly covered under a moderate breeze, when a very severe rain- 

 squall struck the fleet. The wind was lee« severe than it pro- 

 mised to be, the >-acht8 carrying topsails through the squall and 

 another still harder one, after which came a calm with fluky airs 

 now and again. The finish was timed:

The Cherry Diamond Y. O. gives one leg for its cup to the win- 

 ner of this race, Beatrix, she also taking the $100 prize for first 

 boat, with a leg for the Corinthian cup. 



Third Race, Aug. 39. 



Saturday was the finest day of the three, being clear with a 

 strong and puffy N. W. wind. All carried clubtopsails as they 

 came for the line at 11 A. M., the course being the same as on the 

 preceding day, to the Grraves first. Alborak made another fine 

 start with Mr. John B. Paiup a t the stick, the times being: 



Alborak 11 00 16 Beatrix >. .11 01 36 



Mineola 11 00 40 Oweene 11 01 50 



Barbara 11 01 21 



The wind was abaft the beam on the first leg. with all on star- 

 board tack, all but Alborak carrying balloon foresails, she having 

 working foresail set. Jibtopsails were carried, Oweene and Min- 

 eola setting intermpdiate, while the other two carried their 

 smaller ones. Beatrix passed Barbara and Mineola on the reach, 

 and turned almost even with Alborak at the Graves, the times 

 being:

Barbara 11 ,66 04 .64 43 



Although spinakers were set to port after the jibe this did not 

 prevent a hard luffing match between Alborak and Beatrix, the 

 latter easing in her spinaker and luffing out to the north of ber 

 course. Alborak, Mineola and Oweene were together for a time 

 after this, but Alborak finally dropped the iwo, and took the 

 northerly course after Beatrix, where both found more wind, the 

 other three getting it very light for a time. VVhen the E. Y. O. 

 buoy was reached the leaders had pulled off a long piece on the 

 other three, the times being:

The last eight miles were to windward in alight breeze. Beatrix 

 started away from the fieet and soon left them minutes astern. 

 Alborak had trouble with her clublopsail, which suddenly grew 

 too large for her in the dry N.W. wind, and finally she took it in, 

 finishing under lower sails only, the wind being quite fresh in- 

 shore. The last leg was timed:
