*Racing every intervening week day at Larch¬ 
mont. 
In addition to. the amendments adopted by the 
New York Y. C. to the racing rules there were 
various others of more or less importance pro¬ 
posed, of which the most important are the fol¬ 
lowing : 
In all classes of 33 fet and under each yacht 
must be steered by a Corinthian, who is a mem¬ 
ber of a regularly organized yacht club, and 
must be manned by Corinthians, except that a 
yacht of a 33ft. class may carry three profes¬ 
sionals, a yacht of a 27ft. class two professionals, 
and a yacht of a 22ft. class, or any class smaller, 
one professional. 
A yacht of a 40ft. class, or of any class larger, 
must carry as one of its crew a member of a 
recognized yacht club. 
A ketch must have the after side of her miz¬ 
zenmast forward of the point of immersion aft. 
Any yacht crossing the starting line before the 
starting signal of her class has been given shall 
be recalled by the hoisting of a white ball, with 
a red horizontal band, attention being called 
thereto by a short blast of a fog horn. Should 
more than one yacht cross the starting line be¬ 
fore the starting signal of her class there shall 
be a short blast of the fog horn for each yacht 
so crossing. 
One question in racing rules that comes up 
occasionally and should be legislated upon, is in 
the case of a smaller vessel having no competi¬ 
tors in her class going up into the next higher 
class where professional helmsmen are allowec^ 
In the smaller boats class amateur helmsmen 
only are permitted, yet the class she now enters 
is steered by professionals. 
The question is if there was a professional 
aboard of her and she found at the last minute 
no competitor had shown up in her own class, 
could the professional steer her? It would seem 
at first as if such an act should be permitted, 
that she should be given all the privileges of the 
class in which she sails. 
But on the other hand she carries no boat 
stowed on deck as the larger class is required 
by the rules to do, and not having her small 
boat with her nor time enough left before the 
starting gun to run inshore and get it what can 
she do? She cannot possibly comply with the 
rules of the larger class. 
Should she then take any of the privileges? 
Or should she sail in the larger class manned 
and equipped for her own class?
