signer of Irondequoit, felt that the boat could do bet- 
ter, and determined to get someone else to sail her. 
Mr. Gardner was unable to call on Mr. Frede M. 
Hoyt, one of our ablest amateur sailors, who went to 
Canada to sail on the challenger, as he was hurt by a 
fall on board during the first race and was unable to 
sail on the boat again. This made it necessary for Mr. 
Gardner to send to New York for Mr. Addison G. 
Hanan, one of the owners of the unbeaten Aspirant 
and a man of whose ability he was absolutely sure. 
Mr. Hanan responded promptly to Mr. Gardner's 
telegram, and arrived at Toronto just in time to board 
the boat before the preparatory signal for the third 
race was sounded. Mr. I-fanan had never sailed on 
Irondequoit; in fact he had only been aboard the boat 
once before, and all practical yachtsmen know full 
well how difficult it is to sail to the best advantage a 
boat with which they have never been "shipmates." 
In Mr. Hanan's hands, however, Irondequoit was a 
different boat, and the story of how she took three 
straight races is told in detail elsewhere in these col- 
umns. In the fourth and fifth races Mr. H. Wilmer 
Hanan joined forces with his brother, and this made a 
combination that was hard to beat. 
The races were all won on the starts, and in the 
last three Irondequoit had the beSt of it in each in- 
stance. 
In light and moderate winds Irondequoit and Strath- 
cona are pretty evenly matched. The challenger was 
.very much faster in stays, M'hich gave her some ad- 
vantage in windward work, where short hitches were 
being inade. In a breeze of wind, however, Ironde- 
quoit was much the smarter of the two on all points 
of sailing. Irondequoit was under-rigged, and after 
getting up to the Lakes 2,700 pounds of inside ballast 
was added to bring her down to the required area of 
immersed midship section. This additional weight 
made the boat more sluggish in light weather than 
she was when she sailed during the early part of the 
season on Long Island Sound. 
All those who sailed on Irondequoit speak in the 
most glowing terms of the Canadian yachtsmen, par- 
ticularly those who sailed on Strathcona. They 
proved themselves splendid sailors, thorough gentle- 
men and good losers — a most unusual thing in these 
days. In fact, one of the gentlemen who sailed on 
Irondequoit remarked to the writer that Strathcona's 
crew were as happy and jubilant over the outcome of 
the races as if they had won themselves. This is the' 
kind of international racing that makes good sportsmen 
and promotes good fellowship, and it should be en- 
couraged. 
Mr. Gardner has lived up to his reputation in turn- 
ing out so fine a boat as Irondequoit, but all credit 
should be given to Mr. Addison Hanan for the splen- 
did way in which he handled her and for the able as- 
sistance rendered by his brother and the rest of those 
on board.
