M&nhansett Bay Y. C. Regatta. 
In a wind that shifted from a light northeaster 
at the start to a good wholesail southwester with 
about an hour’s intermission of calm that proved 
the race is not always to the leader, the yachts 
in the Manhasset Bay Y. C. spring regatta, on 
Saturday, June 8, covered the io l / 2 mile triangu¬ 
lar course on Long Island Sound. From a starting 
line between Com. Alker s steam yacht Florence 
and a flag boat anchored to the northeast of Exe¬ 
cution Lighthouse to and around the black and 
white striped buoy off Parsonage Point, then 
across the sound to the black buoy off Week's 
Point in Hempstead Bay and home. All classes 
down to and including the New York thirties 
went twice around, the rest once. 
Effort and Neola, in Class J of sloops, had a 
fluke hunting time during the calm spell, and as 
usual the yacht that stood over under Long- 
Island not only escaped the ebb tide, but got the 
windward berth by doing so. In this way Neola, 
sailed by Harry Maxwell, finished the first round 
ahead of Effort, sailed by Captain Howell. The 
fresh southwest breeze held true the rest of the 
day and they sailed a close race holding the same 
position to the finish. Effort won on time allow¬ 
ance, though Neola led her across the line. Gar¬ 
denia, in Class M, sloops, beat Regina. 
The New York thirties got scattered in the 
calm spot so badly that the leader finished while 
the last ones were hull down astern. Marguerite 
led Thelema home in the first division of the 
handicap class by a safe margin. Tanya did not 
race, as her owner had sailed on Zurab for Ber 
muda and Naiad lay becalmed off City Island 
when the race started. Rascal led the second 
division home, but she was scratch boat. 
Rascal II. beat Pretty Quick over 2 minutes. 
All four of the Larchmont 21-footers sailed. 
Vaquero winning by a good margin of 7 minutes. 
Com. Waldorf’s Virginia beat the nearest com¬ 
petitor in the N. R. new one-design class a 
quarter of an hour. Capsicum, Sherman Hoyt’s 
new Q boat, painted a bilious yellow above water 
and white below, beat Ogeemah in Class O, while 
Okee kept up her reputation in the R class. 
Thornton Smith’s Skeeter won in a close race 
of the Bug Class and No. 2, owned by B. B. 
Owen, won in the dory class. Summary:

Brooklyn Y. C. Race. 
Interest in the opening race of the Brooklyn 
Y. C. centered in the performance of the new 
class Q boat, Vingt Trois, and the Lipton class 
boat,' Bensonhurst. In a brisk south-southeast 
breeze and ebb tide Dick Moor sailed Benson¬ 
hurst and finished im. 35s. ahead of the next 
boat, her sister boat, the M and F, both de¬ 
signed by C. D. Mower, beating Gunda, another 
new boat. Vingt Trois finished last, honors 
going to Joy with Spider second. Sue, Mr. E. 
F. Luckenbach’s sloop, beat Haviland Brothers’ 
yawl Sakana in Class P over 3 minutes. Ondas 
won in the Q special class and Jack won out in 
the dories beating Cherub. The summary:

N«w York Y. C. Race. 
This, the spring regatta, was sailed off Glen 
Cove, L. I., on June 13 in a very light south¬ 
west breeze over the \g l A mile course. 
Effort won from Neola and Irolita and the 
three new 57-footers Istalena, Aurora and Win¬ 
some met for their first contest. Istalena won 
the honors of the day. Gardenia had a sail oyer 
as did the big schooner Ingomar, while Adelaide 
won against the six other thirties. 
Half way over the course when the leaders 
were about off Grenwich, Conn., it fell a flat 
calm for nearly half an hour, then it freshened 
up southwest again, making a splendid beat gV\ 
miles home. The summary:

Ailsa Craig and Idaho, motor boats, certainly 
performed most creditably in their race from 
New York to Bermuda. Starting at 4:10 P. M. 
on Saturday, June 8, Ailsa Craig arrived at Ber¬ 
muda Tuesday, June 11, at 9:49 A. M. Idaho 
arriving at 7:12 P. M. Ailsa Craig had to allow 
Idaho 8h. 34m. Both launches made the run with 
practically no hitch to their machinery and have 
demonstrated in a way to let the general public 
know what the trade is already aware of—that 
Craig and Standard engines can be relied upon 
in service. These engines may not advertise on 
gilt edge circulars, but the men who build and 
erect them are mechanics who know their busi¬ 
ness. Both boats behaved splendidly and are a 
credit to both designers and builders, the smaller 
powered Idaho surprising many by coming so 
near to winning from her higher powered op¬ 
ponent.
