by the 
The Sonder Class. 
I be yachts of the Sonder class are now 
battling whenever possible, and are rapidly 
getting into racing trim. On some of them 
slight changes have been made to improve their 
sailing qualities, and between now and the time 
set for the trial races, those in charge will do 
everything possible to get them 'keyed up. 
1 here are twenty-four of these yachts racing 
this year. Eighteen of these have been sailing 
off Marblehead: six, including the Mower- 
designed boat Bessie, are racing on Buzzard’s 
Bay, and one, Joyette, another Mower boat, has 
been sailing on Long Island Sound, trying out 
against the Class Q boats and the American 
21-footers. This yacht in one race, that of the 
Indian Harbor Y. C., made a very creditable 
showing, finishing ahead of the. raceabouts. 
Just how she compares with other boats of her 
class will not be known until she is taken to 
Marblehead to race there. 
Eighteen of the class have taken part in nine 
races sailed off Marblehead. Of these, Crooner 
Lady, Demon, Eel, Spokane III., and Man¬ 
chester III. are from Boardman designs; 
Capt. Elsworth produced a fleet of vachts the 
names of which are full of 
yachtsmen. He began with th 
m 1874, and among other craft he turned out 
were Kangaroo, Montauk, Grayling, Gertrude 
Atlantic, and the steam yachts Cora 
d redalma, and nearly every one has a story 
ot its own. and many made notable records 
He was not a professional designer as such are 
understood nowadays, but loved the sport knew 
just what model was best suited to the con¬ 
ditions and designed yachts chiefly for his own 
amusement and for the use of his friends. Capt 
f 'IS was known to his friends, was born 
at West Creek in New Jersey. He was the 
eldest of eight children, one of whom was the 
late Capt Joe Elsworth, who helped to sail 
two defenciers of the America’s Cup-Puritan and 
Mayflower The family moved to Bayonne in 
v 4 J al !V t:be h °y R rew ll P on the waters of New 
y°J, Harbo T Ca Pt. Phil’s first venture in 
yacht building was several years before the war 
when he modelled and built for himself a small 
catboat which he named the Plug Uglv In 
1874. at the request of William H. Langley he 
designed Comet, which, for a long time was 
one of the best known craft around New York 
He turned^ out Montauk for Commodore
