Annual Cfuising Race^ Macatawa Bay Y. C, 
The annual Lake Michigan cruising race of the Macatawa Bay 
Y. C. 21ft. raceabout class, which was held Sunday, June 11, proved 
to be a most exciting and sporty contest. The first five’ boats 
. finished the 20-mile run with only 2m. between them, and the last 
craft of the fleet was but 5m. behind the leader. 
The course was from the piers at Grand Haven, finishing be- 
tween the piers at Macatawa, a distance of 20 miles. The regular 
Lake Michigan Yachting Association raceabout rules were in 
force, with the exception that balloon jibs were permitted and the 
regular crew limit of five w'a-s removed. For those who are un- 
acquainted with this class, I might say that it is based on the 
Long Island Sound raceabout class, with restrictions and addi- 
tions as developed on Lake Michigan at Macatawa — the principal 
changes being some additional strengthening in construction and 
self-bailing cockpits and cabin accommodations. They have proved 
fine all-around boats, and remarkably fast. 
The morning of the race was cold and foggy, with half a gale 
from the W.N.JV. Grand River was in flood, brown and turbid, 
carrying trees and driftwood, with a six or seven mile current 
swirling out between the piers. When it reached the lake and 
encountered the N.W. sea, it kicked up an awful rip, which made 
maneuvering for the start a very ticklish affair. In fact,' there 
■vvasn’t any maneuvering. Although a two-reef breeze, all car- 
ried full canvas, as the wind promised to hold well aft. 
The starting gun was fired at 10 A. M., and the fleet went over 
the line in the following order: Elvira, Colleen and Hobo near 
the pier. Madcap, Zeta and Snipe well out in the Lake. Colleen 
was the first to set her ballooner, followed quickly by the others. 
With a 30-mile wind and a following sea, they jumped ahead when 
the big jibs filled. 
At 10:30 the Twin Sisters, a solitary pair of sand hills, were 
abeam, showing about 4 miles had been passed. Here Elvira was 
in the lead, while Madcap had worked into a close second and was 
leading the windward division. Colleen was third, with Hobo 
astern and to leeward. Snipe was about even with Hobo, but 
well out in the lake. Zeta was astern of Snipe. Madcap now 
attempted to set her spinnaker, but no sooner was it broken out 
than her pole snapped in the middle, and she was obliged to take 
it in again. 
Then a dirty, cold fog came sweeping in and blotted out the 
shore line, so for some time w'e steered by compass. Before long 
the wind shifted a point to the N., and it gradually cleared. 
Snipe was now' seen to have her spinnaker set and managed to 
keep it up by virtue of a stout pole. She began to pull up 
rapidly on the rest of the fleet. Her example was followed by 
Zeta and Colleen, and then by Hobo and Elvira. 
Colleen and Hobo now began to jump up on the leaders. With 
two men on the spinnaker iDoles, and spinnaker and balloon as 
hard as iron, they were fairly leaping through the seas. When 
the wind and sea came together, would come a dizzying, roaring 
rush, with a wave either side the bow, nearly covering the men 
on the pole. It hardly seemed possible for the spars to stand 
the strain. 
The wind came stronger and stronger, and before long, with a 
crash Colleen’s spinnaker pole went'up in the air. It was quickly 
secured and the remaining 10ft. piece put out again, with three 
of the crew to hold it down. At the same time Elvira’s pole 
broke, and she was compelled to take in her spinnaker. 
At 11:10 the entrance to Port Sheldon rushed past through 
a smother of foam, seeming to disappear astern as soon as sighted. 
Half of the race -was run. 
Hobo was now closing up on Colleen’s weather inch by inch. 
Elvira and Madcap were slowly dropping behind without the 
pull of their spinnakers. Snipe was coming up. Hobo attempted 
now to get Colleen’s wind, but the latter luffed from under, with 
spinnaker slatting and banging, and took a position on Hobo’s 
weather. She couldn’t hold it with her crippled wing, however, 
and Hobo slowly drew into the lead. For a few minutes it looked 
as though she would not hold it, when her peak halyard was seen 
to let go. The crew of Colleen were jubilant, but soon sobered 
down when they saw her skipper go aloft and secure it. This was 
one of the prettiest bits of seamanship in the whole race. 
As the lighthouse at Macatawa grew plainer into view, the wind 
began to come in angry squalls, lifting the tops off the waves and 
making the boats fairly jump from under with a creaking and 
straining tha.t seemed sure tO' take out the sticks. Nearing the 
piers, it was seen that there would be some lively work at the 
finish. Colleen and Snipe were approaching the line on even 
terms, with the latter further out and to windward, but the former 
in the inside position for rounding the pier. On board Colleen 
every man made ready for the gybe of his life. About 200ft. from 
the pier Snipe took in her spinnaker and gybed over. Colleen 
hung on to everything, and gybed with all sails standing, letting 
spinnaker, sheet, tack, balloon and all fly as the boom slashed 
over and squeezed in between Snipe and the pier just two feet 
ahead. 
When we had time to look back, we saw one of Snipe’s men 
bobbing up and down in the big combers at the mouth of the 
channel. He had gone overboard on the gybe. He seemed to be 
swimming strongly, and Elvira rushing past next, threw him a 
life buoy. . He was picked up a minute later by the life-saving 
crew, none the worse for wear. 
We now learned why Snipe had squeezed us so at the pier. It 
was her main sheet man who had gone overboard, helped by an 
extra big sea. He had hung on to the sheet, and dragging 
through the water at a 10-mile clip, had pulled in the boom till 
she wouldn’t bear away. Her skipper was unaware he had lost 
his man, and shouted to “Let go the main sheet,” which he 
obediently did, in a breaking sea. 
Madcap finished 29s. behind Elvira. These two boats did re- 
markably well, cnosidering they did not carry spinnakers. 
The following is the list of boats and the time, start, 10 A. M. :

Ne-w Rochelle Y, C. Race, July J5, 
Echo Bay to Stratford Shoal Light and Return. 
The second annual race to Middle Ground Light and return, a 
matter of 66 miles, brought out a fleet of ten starters, boats of all 
rigs, sailing in one clas.s, and rated for T. A. on he basis of W. L. 
length, plus one-half overhang at 10s. per foot per mile. 
The race was a reach both ways, with the exception of a short 
leg to windward between the South and North buoys on Strat- 
ford Shoals, and the wind free enough to enable the boats to 
carry bailooners on both legs. 
The idea of having the start and finish at the home port was an 
excellent one, and might well be adopted for some of the longer 
races. 
The wind at the start was fresh N.W., and Thora crossed the 
line first, overlapping Escape. Off Milton Point, after a sharp 
luffing match. Escape took the lead, and at Stamford Light had 
gained about one-quarter of a mile on Thora and Fleetwing, 
with the rest of the fleet one mile astern, closely bunched and 
sailing a very even race. 
The wind held true all the afternoon, with the leaders in the 
same relative positions. At 8:28 Escape luffed around the red 
buoy to the south of the light, followed by Thora at 8:34, and 
Fleetwing about 10m. later. Thora rounded close to the light 
instead of standing on to the northerly buoy, which disqualified 
her, her owner having misunderstood the instructions. 
After 9 o’clock in the evening the wind moderated, but fresh- 
ened again about 10 o’clock, and at midnight the leaders were off 
Norwalk Islands, Escape still in the lead. ; 
'R'leetwing rounded second, and the catboat Nymph third; the 
others too far astern to be distinguished. 
Escape finished at 3 A. M., the first boat to- complete the course.

According to the committee’s time. Nymph was first. Escape 
second, Susie third; and Thora fourth, but protests have been 
entered against Nymph, Susie and Thora for not rounding buoys 
at outer marks, which made a saving of 1% miles of windward 
Work in a light breeze. 
Haftfofd Y. G. 
Hartford to Fenwich — Saturday, July 4. 
The long-distance power boat race given by the Hartford Y. C. 
on Saturday, July 8, was a great success. The course was from 
Hartford to Fenwich, 46.06 miles. The weather was cloudy, and 
the boats encountered a head wind and a lumpy sea. 
The Race Committee was made up of Messrs. C. H. Symonds, 
chairman; ,F. A. Law, N. C. Brainard, John MacFadyen and 
Joseph Merritt. 
The winners were:_ First Division — Rita, first and Swastika 
second. _ Second Division — Iris first, and Ruth second. Autoboats 
• — Flip first and Fantana second. 
Some of the boats ran very close to their . rating. Three boats 
with a difference in starting times of 53m. 36s. in one case, and 
Ih. 23m. 12s.' in the other, over the first boat, finished the 46 miles’ 
within 16s. of each other. 
It showed also that a cruising boat should be measured in cruis- 
ing trim, as she cannot make her rating if measured light and 
loaded down for a cruise before starting in the race. 
The time of the autoboats was slow, as Flip and Fantana both 
had their, engines installed the night previous, with no time to 
tune up. The actual time of Flip Was 11m. less, as she was delayed 
that time, after her starting gun was fired. 
Colurhbia, of which so much was expected, failed to make good, 
and withdrew, disabled within sight of the finish line. 
The particulars of the boats follow:

Edgewood Y. G. 
Narragansett Bay — July 15. 
The 30ft. cats of the Edgewood Y. C. sailed the first race in the 
series for the Ford cup, Saturday afternoon, July 15. This is a 
challenge cup for the class, offered by Mr. Henry Ford. It is to 
become the permanent possession of the winner of the three races 
unless challenged for within one year. The boats will score on 
the percentage system, as in the Possner cup races. 
The first race was a fine one, there being a stiff single reef 
breeze from the N. that sent the five boats over the 16-mue wind- 
ward and leeward course in fast time. 
Wanderer IV, gave another fine specimen of sailing, and won 
handily by more than 7m. actual time. She has a new sail that 
seems to make an improvement even over her work in the pre- 
vious week’s race. Scatt lost so much time in laying to to put 
in another reef that she was hopelessly distanced, and withdrew.
