Boston Letter. 
The 22-footers are dead! Long live the 
twenty-two raters! 
It is perhaps unseemly to announce the de¬ 
cease of a class at a time when the three boats 
that comprised its racing strength in 1906 are 
still owned by the men who then raced them. 
But the announcement this week of changes in 
ownership that will remove beyond the capes that 
guard Massachusetts Bay three formerly promi¬ 
nent boats of the class really adds everything 
but the formal word "finis” to the history of the 
22ft. cabin class. 
Mr. E. A. Randall has purchased of Vice-Com. 
H. H. Walker, through the agency of Mr. B. B. 
Crowninshield, Athlon and will race her at Port¬ 
land, Maine, under a changed name. Setsu has 
been sold bv Mr. W. A. Green to T. R. Good¬ 
win Esq., and Peri II., by Dr. Morton Prince to 
Mr. W. J. Rooks, both of the purchasers hailing 
from Providence, R. I., as does Mr. Fred B. 
Thurber, who has purchased the 21-footer Little 
Haste from Nathaniel C. Nash, Esq. Thus two 
of the 20-footers and Little Haste (the raison 
d’etre of their class) follow their former rival 
Tayac, now Sigama III. into Rhode Island's 
waters, where all four will race in one class 
under the square root of sail area plus waterline 
length rule. 
The 22ft. class was organized in the early fall 
of 1902 at a time when it was realized that the 
great success of Little Haste had done the 21ft. 
cabin class to the death and before the Y. R. A. 
had had the opportunity to formulate rules that 
would bar the type of which she was an ex¬ 
ample. The rules of the new class were spun 
around a design that was made with the ex¬ 
press purpose of producing a faster boat than 
Little Haste and which did in fact produce a 
25-footer on a waterline of 22ft. Great breadth 
gave a large cabin under the house and this in 
many minds produced a cruiser so that sufficient 
popularity was insured as to effectuate orders 
for ten boats. 
“Needles and pins! Needles and pins! When 
a boat’s launched its trouble begins.” As each 
new boat took the water it was found to violate 
one or more of the class restrictions. Some were 
too long, some were too light and some were of 
materials other than those commanded by the 
scantling rules. The adoption of liberal, lavish 
and numerous amendments to the rules made it 
possible for most of the boats to qualify, but 
Setsu did not measure in until the first season 
was practically over and Helen never did suc¬ 
ceed in meeting even the amended requirements. 
Thus the best constructed boat was of the class 
but not in it. 
In that first year Mr. W. Starling Burgess was 
represented by Opitsah V., Messrs. Sumner H. 
and Herbert I. Foster, Medric; Mr. Herbert H. 
White, Setsu; Messrs. Samuel W. Lewis and 
Fritz B. Talbot (all of one-design) and Tayac, 
Mr. Wm. H. Joyce, while Mr. Frederick D. 
Lawley designed Chief, Mr. Samuel C. Winsor, 
Athlon; Mr. H. PI. Walker, Helen; Mr. Frank 
R. Neal and Mr. E. A. Boardman designed 
Peri II. for Mr. George Lee. Urchin was de¬ 
signed by Mr. Archie Fenton for Mr. John 
Greenough. Of these only Opitsah V., Medric, 
Tayac, Chief and Urchin followed the Y. R. A. 
circuit with any consistency and were ranked in 
the order given, Opitsah V. making a runaway 
match of the season, thanks principally to splen¬ 
did handling. Chief was at her best in very 
strong breezes. .Tayac made good in thin airs 
and Medric tailed along behind the all-round ex¬ 
cellence of her sistership Opitsah V. 
The following year (1904) Mr. Winsor re¬ 
placed Chief with a new Lawley boat Warrior, 
while Messrs. B. P. Cheney and C. D. Lanning 
appeared with Clotho, designed by Messrs. Small 
Bros. These two with the four remaining boats 
of 1905’s active performers and Peri II. and 
Setsu put in a strenuous season with the cock- 
of-the-walk pennant wavering between Clotho 
and Peri. Opitsah V. did very well when on 
deck, but appeared in only eight races so that 
while her actual average percentage was high 
she did not do so well under the rule and was 
ranked third to Peri II. second and Clotho’s 
championship.
