Challenge for Manhasset Bay Cup. 
The Corinthian Y. C., of Marblehead, has 
sent a challenge to the Indian Harbor Y. C. 
for a race for the Manhasset Bay challenge cup. 
This cup is for yachts of 31-rating, and it was 
successfully defended last season by Windward, 
sailed by the Hanan brothers against Naulahka, 
owned by a syndicate of the American Y. C. and 
sailed by Stuyvesant Wainwright. Windward 
is a Gardner-designed yacht and Naulahka came 
from the Herreshoffs. 
In eastern waters there are several yachts 
eligible for this race. Timandra and Wianno 
were built last year, and this year George 
Owens, who designed those two has turned out 
two more which are to sail in Massachusetts 
waters for the Lipton cup emblematic of the 
class championship. These new boats have been 
built by Hodgdon Bros, at East Boothbay. 
The Corinthian Club wants to have the race 
sailed during the week beginning July 25, as 
that will be the only time during the season that 
the Eastern 31-raters have open dates. It is 
the intention of the owners of those yachts to 
take part in the cruise of the Eastern Y. C. 
which is to disband at Bar Harbor on July 16. 
From Bar Harbor they will sail around Cape 
Cod to Larchmont and take part in the con¬ 
tests of race week which ends July 23. They 
will then be able to sail the races for the cup 
and get back to Marblehead by the beginning 
of August. 
In addition to the match race for the Man¬ 
hasset Bay cup for 31-raters it is proposed that 
a team race shall be sailed, one team of two 
boats representing Massachusetts Bay and an¬ 
other of two boats representing New York. 
The yachts from which the Massachusetts team 
will be selected are John B. Fallon’s Timandra, 
winner of last year’s Lipton cup; Arthur W. 
Stevens’ Wianno, John Greenough’s Onda II., 
George Lee’s new yacht Mavourneen and the 
new yacht building for C. B. and H. S. 
Wheelock. 
To represent New York there are Windward, 
now owned by Richard Monks, and Cara Mia, 
formerly Naulahka, owned by Stuyvesant Wain¬ 
wright. 
The conditions for the Manhasset Bay cup 
allowed other yachts of the class to compete 
after a challenge has been accepted, so that it 
would be possible for two or three of the Massa¬ 
chusetts boats to take part, as their owners are 
members of the Eastern and Boston yacht 
clubs, which clubs could be represented in the 
contest. 
Two Sloops for 6-Meter Class. 
Karl Arrhenius, of Nystad, Finland, is to 
have built for him two sloops of the same de¬ 
sign for the six-meter class abroad from designs 
by Cox & Stevens. The plans show approxi¬ 
mately 34 feet over all, 21 feet waterline, having 
7 feet 3 inches beam and carrying about 540 
square feet of sail. The boats are well under 
way, being built at Abo Batvarf, Finland. One 
of them will have mahogany planking, hollow 
spars from Lawley’s in Boston and Ratsey sails, 
made in England of brown Egyptian duck. 
I he other boat will be planked with yellow pine, 
have solid spars and sails made in Finland of 
English duck. 
Ihe boats will have watertight cockpit and 
have in the cabin sleeping accommodations for 
four men together with toilet, which is rather 
unusual for racing boats of this size. 
These boats will race against a number of 
very fast vessels in her class at St. Petersburg, 
Helsingfors, and Stockholm this summer, some 
of these being built by American designers, 
others having been designed in England and in 
addition there are a number of fast boats that 
have been designed in Finland. 
Atlantic Y. C. Schedule. 
I he Atlantic Y. C. has arranged a very inter¬ 
esting schedule for the season. The Sea Gate 
season will open on Saturday, May 28, and close 
on Saturday, Sept. 17. 
The opening regatta will be for all classes of 
schooners, sloops and yawls, and as it will be 
the first race of the lower bay season an ex- 
cellent fleet of craft is expected in the different 
divisions. As is customary in Gravesend Bay 
regattas, the Saturday afternoon races will be 
for Class M and below. All divisions, however, 
have been provided for in the program of race 
week and also in the annual regatta which is 
scheduled to be sailed on Monday, Sept. 5. 
The most important event of the spring sea¬ 
son will be the annual race to Bermuda for sail 
craft that will start from off the Sea Gate home 
of the Atlantic Y. C. on Saturday, June 25. 
It is the intention of the Atlantic Y. C. to 
center its efforts this year toward making its 
annual race week one of the most important 
fixtures on the Atlantic coast. The week will 
start on Wednesday. Aug. 31, and will continue 
over Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 5. Not only 
will prizes be offered for all regular classes, but 
special cups will be offered for all one-design 
boats that race on nearby waters. Special in- 
LINES OF SIX-METER SLOOP DESIGNED FOR RACING IN FOREIGN WATERS.
