of course, in the small classes the usual stand¬ 
ing lug may still hold its own; schooners and 
yawls, however, will have no chance in any of 
these classes. The German Emperor said he did 
not anticipate building a 23 meter—and added, as 
a grandfather his days of cutter racing were over 
—but he was much gratified with the new regu¬ 
lations passed by the permanent committee with 
regard to class A. This class is for all vessels 
above 23 meters or 75.4 feet. These regulations 
are briefly as follows: (1) The yachts will have 
to be built according to Lloyds rules—not the 
new “R” classification, but the “A.” (2) No 
cutters will be allowed to compete. (3) Schoon¬ 
ers. ketches and yawls will sail as 0.88 of their 
rating. (4) The time allowance will be four 
seconds per meter of rating per nautical mile. 
(5) That clubs may divide the A class into two 
sections. I. above 23 meters and not above 27 
meters. II. above 27 meters. This class would, 
of course, include all such vessels as Ingomar, 
Meteor, Hamburg; and yachtsmen in America 
should take special note that after Jan. 1, 1908, 
matches will be given for this class at Kiel which 
would be particularly suitable for some of the 
faster American schooners. 
In England the effect of the new legislation 
is already being felt. Designers are hard at work 
on new boats, and I hear that they are likely to 
be a splendid type. Mr. Myles Kennedy, the 
well-known owner of Maid Marion and White 
Heather, has ordered a 23 meter cutter, and Sir 
James Pender, who had Brynhild, and last year
