FOREST AND STREAM. 
[July 15, 1911. 
Eastern Y. C. 
SATURDAY, JULY I, 
While the big yachts were starting in the 
race from New London to Marblehead the 
smaller ones sailed a special regatta off Marble¬ 
head. There were races for Classes P and Q 
and the Sonders. They raced in a moderate 
southwest wind and the 31-raters made one of 
the best contests of the season. They sailed 
8 miles to windward and return. Sayonara, 
owned by Vernon F. West, made her first ap¬ 
pearance in a race. It was a fine scrap to the 
weather mark, where they were timed: Sayonara, 
3:36:44; Italia,3:37:00; Amoret,3:38:ii;Timandra 
3:38:15; Wianno, 3:41:32. After turning, Sayo¬ 
nara kept well to windward of her course to 
prevent being blanketed by Italia. This lost 
time and down the wind Italia managed to just 
beat Sayonara at the line by 2s. 
The Sonder boats, Beatrice, owned by C. A. 
Wood and designed by Boardman, and Badger, 
owned by C. H. W. Foster and designed by 
Burgess, made their first appearance. Beatrice 
took a lead of nearly three minutes on the wind 
with Ellen II. second and Sally XI. third. 
Down wind Ellen made a good gain, but 
Beatrice won the race by ini. 9s. The times: 
Class P—Italia, 1.25.31; Sayonara, 1.25.33: 
Timandra, 1.26.11; Amoret, 1.27.18; Wianno, 
1.29.29. 
Sonder Class—Beatrice, 1.35.00; Ellen II., 
1.36.09; Sally XI., 1.38.05; Skeezix, 1.39.20; 
Panther. 140.30; Badger, 1.40.41; Ellen, 1.41.12; 
Seehund II., 1.41.28. 
Class Q—Gringo, 1.42.19; Tabasco III., 
1 - 43 -18. 
TUESDAY, JULY 4. 
Elena won again in the Fourth of July re¬ 
gatta. defeating Irolita 7m. 35s. actual time and 
3m. 46s. corrected time. The course was 38 
miles long, and the wind was southwest and 
moderate. It did not hold true, however, but 
hauled to the westward, which allowed the 
yachts to make a close fetch on the leg which 
should have been windward work. On this leg, 
however, Irolita made a distinct gain. Irolita 
has shown such good performances at close 
reaching and when on the wind, that many think 
she will win when the two yachts meet in a 
long thrash to windward. Elena also won the 
Puritan cup in which all yachts sail in one class. 
Taormina defeated Seneca in the second 
schooner division, and Vagrant won in the third 
division. In the sloop class Avenger won. 
There were allowances in each class, but these 
allowances did not figure much, as the allowing 
boat won in each case. The times: 
Schooners, First Division—Elena, 4.08.15; 
Irolita, 4.12.01. The elapsed times were: Elena, 
408.15; Irolita, 4.15.50. 
Schooners, Second Division — Taormina, 
5.03.46; Seneca, 5.14.17. 
Schooners, Third Division—Vagrant, 5.27.47; 
Vision, 5.43.45; Venona, 5.55.05. 
Sloops—Avenger, 4.56.41; Adventuress, 5.03.40; 
Affair, 5.14.18; Acushla II., 5.30.26, elapsed 
time. She has not been measured.

fered with Gazelle and then dropped out. Pa- 
loma broke both sidestays and Molly snapped a

Forty-four yachts started in six classes in 
the Fourth of July sailing regatta of the City

Washington Park Y. C. 
The regatta committee of the Washington 
Park Y. C. on Narragansett Bay postponed the 
start of its regatta on July 1 for half an hour 
because of the flat calm. Then a spanking 
breeze from the south rewarded the yachtsmen 
and the racing was very good. Idler finished 
first in Class Q, but was disqualified. She 
fouled Gazelle when that yacht had the right 
of way. Wanderer VI. won in the 18-foot class 
by more than 3m. from Answer. The times:

Beverly Y. C. 
Very light winds spoiled the regatta of the 
Beverly Y. C. sailed on Buzzard’s Bay on July 
1. The sixteen starters all managed to get to 
the finish, but it was hard work for all. As a 
consequence, some of the new boats were 
beaten, probably being outlucked, but such de¬ 
feats always make the sport of the season more 
interesting. Saracen, owned by Robert Winsor, 
Jr., defeated the new Foraminifer in the 21-foot 
class over a 12-mile course. Seacoon won in 
the Sonder class, and Endeavor was the winner 
in the 15-foot class. The times:
