New Rochelle Y. C. Regatta. 
The first yacht race of the season of 1907 on 
Long Island Sound was sailed Saturday after¬ 
noon, May 25, off Echo Bay, New Rochelle, 
under the management of the regatta committee 
of the New Rochelle Y. C., Messrs. R. M. Had¬ 
dock, E. B. Wright and M. S. Kattenhorn. 
It was expected that some of the new Q boats 
might appear, but the Gardner craft stayed in 
Manhassett Bay and Capsicum at Greenport, 
Mr. Sherman Hoyt sailing on Busy Bee. 
The three new one-design class boats, built 
this winter by W. Haff from Mr. Haddock’s 
designs, were the only new boats, though 1 anya 
was a new boat to these waters. 
At 2 o’clock, when the preparatory gun was 
fired from the judge’s launch T. R. Webber, 
there was but a remnant of air from the south¬ 
east, but a stiff southerly breeze was coming off 
the Long Island shore as indicated by the 
rounded canvas of the coasters over there buck¬ 
ing the last of the ebb tide. At 2105 the three 
New York thirties, Banzai, Aleria and Nepsi, 
and the Atlantic boat Sue, crossed in a bunch 
with the first of the new breeze, setting. their 
spinnakers guyed well forward. Five minutes 
later the seven boats in the two divisions of the 
handicap class started. Naiad, to leeward out 
of the crowd, ran ahead into the lead with Mon¬ 
soon and Tanya on her weather quarter followed 
by Mile. Modiste, Vivyen and the two 
Kenoshas, I. and II. There was nothing in the 
printed instructions that said yachts must go out¬ 
side of Hen and Chicken reef buoy off Larch- 
mont, though they always do, and this caused 
several of the boats to lose valuable time. Sue, 
to go outside the spar buoy, as.the New York 
thirties were doing, had to trim in and sail close 
hauled with her spinnaker boom against the head- 
stay, and the sail not drawing to good advantage, 
while the thirties, having kept well out, could 
trim their spinnakers so they drew properly. 
Realizing there might be some arguments over 
this point Naiad kept outside the buoy and Tanya 
through a megaphone warned several, of the other 
handicap boats they must go outside it also. 
This put them away behind, for it was neces¬ 
sary for them to flatten down hard and beat up 
to fetch the buoy, while Naiad and Tanya, with 
sheets well off and a stiff puffy south by west 
breeze piping up abeam, bore on for the Par¬ 
sonage Point buoy. This class were off Larch¬ 
mont, where the big three-masted auxiliary yacht 
Atlantic, decked with flags and an immense 
streamer trailing out to leeward from her truck, 
lay anchored in honor of the opening of that 
club, when the 2:15 gun started the raceabouts 
Busy Bee and Pretty Quick and that class of 
little veterans the Larchmont 21-footers Houri, 
Vaquero and Dorothy. 
The 30, 18 and 15-footers sailed twice around 
a short course marked by the gas buoy off Scotch 
Cape and then an end on thrash to windward to 
the black spar off Prospect Point, just east of 
Sand’s Point, and a run home with the wind 
on the port quarter. Naiad and Tanya led the 
rest of the classes to and around the black and 
white spar buoy off Parsonage Point. Naiad, 
rounding a couple of lengths ahead, tacked to port 
while Tanya trimmed down and stood on the 
starboard tack a short distance before she also 
came about to port. 
The breeze had gradually hardened so the last 
boats to start gained on the leaders. More 
Trouble, Joy and Ogeemah in one class followed 
the handicap boats around the large course, 
while Okee, San Toy, Hamburg and Thelma, in 
another, sailing once around the short course, 
strung out across the sound as each thrashed 
her wav over into Hempstead Harbor. Tanya 
headed Naiad and squared away around the red 
spar buoy D. 2, the windward mark,. near Mott’s 
Point, a couple of boat lengths in the lead, 
setting her spinnaker for the run home. . 
Naiad’s spinnaker boom buckled badly in the 
hard puffs, but held until within a couple of 
hundred yards of the line to cross which it was 
necessary to put it to her hard. 1 here was a 
puff of wind, a splintering crack and the boom 
snapped clean in two, letting her big spinnaker 
go around the headstay and necessitated squar¬ 
ing away for a moment to get the sail down, but 
even then she crossed the line at 4:16:33, only 
33s. behind Tanya, and as that boat had to allow 
her over 6m. she won handily. 
The thirties meanwhile had rounded the short 
course once and were on their way around again, 
Banzai leading and Sue well astern. Monsoon 
lead the second division of the handicap class 
by nearly three minutes, and three minutes run¬ 
ning free in that fresh breeze meant some dis¬ 
tance. Pretty Quick beat Busy Bee in the race- 
about division. 
As usual the Larchmont 21-footers put up a 
solendid race. Dorothy unfortunately parted a 
shroud and had to quit while Vaquero beat 
Houri far more than she should have, showing 
what a factor the handling of a yacht really is. 
More Trouble led Joy and Ogeemah until half 
the windward leg was covered, when Joy with 
her designer at the stick, picked up, passed and 
led the others home by about two minutes. 
There is some doubt as to who wins in the 
18ft. class owing to Okee, who came in eleven j 
minutes ahead of Hamburg, being in doubt as 1 
to whether that was her proper class or not. She 
demonstrated her speed, however, by her per¬ 
formance. 
In the Manhassett Bay class Skeeter naturally 
was the most troublesome and left Dragon Fly 
and Big Bug far behind while Humbug dropped 
out. 
Of the two American dories Tautog left Far 
Away far astern. The regattan committee, owing 
to the same old trouble experienced each year, of 
not being furnished by yacht owners with their 
racing certificates, were unable to make definite 
statements as to winners. But in most classes 
there was little doubt left when one looks over 
the summary following:
