Yacht Racing Association of 
Grav^send Bay. 
Saturday, July 26. 
The fifth regatta of the Yacht Racing Association of 
Gravesend Bay was held on the afternoon of Saturday, 
July 26, under the auspices of the Atlantic Y. C. _ Twenty- 
eight craft started in the contest, three^ were disquaHfied 
for various reasons, and one did not finish. 
It was one of the best races sailed thus far. The win- 
ners in the different classes were Bonito, Vivian, Caribou, 
Song and Dance, Opossum, Pickaninny, Kelpie and Mar- 
tha M. 
In general the struggles in the different classes were 
won by good margins. The race between the old rivals 
Song and Dance and Cockatoo was an exception, how- 
ever, and the former won the contest only after the 
hardest kind of a fight, and by the small margin of 24s. 
At no time were the two far apart. Song and_ Dance, 
being of centerboard construction, would gain a bit when 
sailing with a free wind, while the fin-keel Cockatoo 
picked up on windward work. They are now tied on the 
standing of the Association series with 42 points each. 
In the race for class M boats in cruising trim, Bonito 
led Sunol at the finish by im. 40s. Kangaroo started in 
this class. She was minutes astern in getting away and 
was never able to overcome the handicap. 
The neat little class N flyer, Vivian, and Gwendolen, 
another clean-cut boat of beautiful model, were oppo- 
nents. The first named, from a poor start, won by 
3m. 43s. It was the second meeting of the two craft in 
the Association races. At the end of the first they were 
separated by only a few seconds. 
In special class N Caribou got a victory from Squaw. 
The latter d'd not finish the race. The Association boats 
were given warning before the contest to carry their rac- 
ing numbers in the correct position — that is, above the last 
row of reef points and midwaj^ between the luff and 
leach. Squaw had not fulfilled these requirements and 
was disqualified. This gave Caribou a sailover. 
In class P Song and Dance led Cockatoo by 24s. Opos- 
sum, now sailing in regular class Q, beat Trouble, her 
nearest adversary, by im. iis. The light southeasterly 
breeze blowing was jiist suited to the lighter craft in 
which Herreshoff has "succeeded in turning out a very 
speedy creation. 
In class R, Pebble led Pickaninny, starting for the first 
time this year, by a good margin. Pebble, however, fouled 
one of the marking buoys and was disqualified. Picka- 
ninny also got into trouble during the race. There were 
no protests lodged against her, but eventual disqualifica- 
tion will undoubtedly be the outcome. She was credited 
with a, win until the case is decided. 
In the Marine and Field special class, Kelpie, cham- 
pion of last year, led Jig-a-Jig, the second boat, by iin. 
42s. The latter was unfortunate enough to be disquali- 
fied for net having her' number in the proper position, and 
second place in the Association race went to Flying Fox, 
whom Kelpie defeated by 3m. 34s. 
The disqualification of Jig-a-Jig is inoperative in the 
fourth struggle for points on the Snedeker trophy, in 
which the one-design boats were engaged. So Jig-a-Jig 
is credited with second place in the race on this series. 
In the catboat class Martha M. led Rascal by 3m. 43s. 
Boozie, the Long Island creation, which carried off honors 
in the heavy wind of the race before, made a poor 
showing. 
The protest by Rascal against Martha M. in the 
Marine and Field Club race of July 12, has been allowed. 
This disqualifies Martha M. and takes away the eight 
points put down to her credit for that race. Rascal gets 
second place and an additional two points. 
The protest by the owner of Karma against Song and 
Dance for fouling Wraith in the same contest, was not 
allowed. 
The usual Association courses were sailed. The small e 
craft had a reach, a run, another reach, and long and 
short windward boards to the home mark. The larger 
craft going oitt to West Bank Light had a close fetch and 
a run home.
