lation is made that as many points in judging will be 
given for accommodation as for probable speed. That 
will puzzle competitors a little, probably, but no doubt 
the prize will go to fairly beamy and roomy boats that 
could have no possible chance to win in racing under 
Y. R. A. rules. Much has been said in praise of the 
canoe-yacht as a seaboat, and the writer would be sin- 
cerely thankful if any of your readers can point out one 
redeeming feature it possesses, giving reasons for its 
superiority over the ordinary type of small yacht. 
On Friday last Messrs. Camper & Nicholson launched 
a fine new 'schooner for F. M. Singer, built by them from 
designs by Mr. J. M, Soper, the architect of the cele- 
brated Satanita. The new yacht, which is entirely planked 
with teak, is the same length as' Meteor III., but is three 
feet narrower. She is intended for no other purpose than 
ocean cruising. Mr. Soper is now in business on his 
own account, and has an agency for the sale and pur- 
chase of yachts. He is kept busy in the designing depart- 
ment, and bids fair to attain great celebrity. 
The Mediterranean season is particularly flat this year 
from a yachting point of view, Sybarita and Kariad con- 
stituting the sole attraction. A vain attempt was made 
last year to get up an ocean match from Cowes to Lis- 
bon, but it seems unlikely to become a fixture in the near 
future. The <King of Portugal, however, is greatly inter- 
ested in the matter, and when yachting again takes an 
upward move something may be done in this direction. 
The match would be followed by a huge regatta, -and all 
manner of shore entertainments.

Yacht Racing Association of Long 
Island Sound. 
The long delayed report of the executive committee 
of the Yacht Racing Association of Long Island Sound 
as to the championship record for the season of 1901 
has at last been made public. It appears that the delay 
was because of the neglect of the chairmen of the regatta 
committees- of the different clubs to send in the reports 
of all their races to the executive committee of the asso- 
ciation. 
The conditions under which the races were held are 
these: A yacht to qualify for championship honors must 
start in at least half the races on days arranged for her 
class. Yacht owners were privileged to make their own 
selections of races when two were scheduled for the 
same day. 
Points were awarded according to the number of yachts 
defeated, plus one for starting. For example, in a race 
in which six yachts start the winner was awarded six 
points, five for defeating five yachts, and one for starting. 
The second yacht was awarded five points, and the last 
to finish, if all finish, one point. The championship record 
of a yacht is the percentage which the total number of 
points to her credit at the end of the season bears to the 
total number she would have had if she had won every 
race in which she started. 
The percentage of championship was as follows:

The championship in the raceabout class has not yet 
been decided. It lies between Badger and Merrywing, 
a decision of a protest being necessary to make the award. 
In the 43ft. class, Dorwina, one of Gardner & Cox's 
productions, had things pretty much her own way, beat- 
ing handily her only competitors, Myra and Effort. In 
the 36ft. class, Leda, cleverly sailed by Mr. H. L. Max- 
well, was well in the lead at the end of the season. 
Oiseau, in the 30ft. and Don, in the 25ft. class, had an 
almost continuous performance of winning, and received 
the award in their particular classes. 
The fin keel Herreshoff boat, Memory, rigged this 
season for the first time as a yawl, made a remarkable 
showing as a result of the change. The 18ft. sloop class 
had many more entries than the others, nineteen boats
