TOTAL STARTERS

611

By J. M. Handley

According to Chairman Frank Wever

of the Regatta Committee, Chicago Yacht Club's total of 611 starters in the past season's races constitutes a new record

among ya.cht clubs. The owners will admit that it was a busy season, Races were held on thirty-seven different days; and, in addition, the boats listed below, there were 17 starters in races not finished or single starters in their class, making a total of 565 starters in races run by the Club.

Herbert L, Stone, the able editor of Yachting, comrnenting on Chicago yachting, said: "We have nothing in the East that can compare to the sailing enthusiasm you have. in Chicago. I don't believe there is any yacht club in Northern waters that has ever shown such a long season, nor one so replete with good racing for all classes.

"Of course we have more big boat racing down on the Atlantic Coast, and our aggregate of boats in all events surpasses yours, but that means scores of yacht clubs, and I know for a fact that no yacht club can show such a list of starters, o.r such a rich and varied assort-

ment of racing as your club offers its members.

"In Southern waters there are clubs with longer seasons, but they start sailing when our boats-and yours-are still snowed in, and they race after ice is in our harbors and waters.

"I consider the past season of the Chicago Yacht Club a most marvelous proof

of the vitality and popularity of the sport on Lake Michigan."

I doubt if any yacht club anywhere can show such a record of mileage sailed as we show at the Chicago Yacht Club. In addition to racing on local courses there are plenty -of cruising races, from the early race to Michigan City which opens the season for cruising events early in June, to the big Mackinac race, the longest cruising race on fresh water, and at present writing, the longest cruising race held anywhere.

If the mileage of all our races were added up I believe it wou.ld show a total amazing as the total of 611 boats participating in our racing here last season.

Note the length of the season-May 21 to October 22. Five full months of racing fixtures, regular scheduled events in

Lake Michigan Yachting Ncws

The men who desire to intErest tttiii swe.t_ hearts or. wives in yachting should bear il;fid thelr entire unfamiliarity with boats and water ald not expect them to be full blown sailors after three or four afternoons' sailing. _

I did not have to overcome the fear of the w_ater, It was not, however, because of knowl_ edge of boats, sailing and weather. To be

frank, it was confidence in mv husband's abilitv

as a sailor. One day we cipsized in a dorri.

RULES IN RACING Racing rules are nothing more than the reasonable rules of safety at sea, supplemented by such additionF as apply particularly to contests where close quarters require instant decision and where the effort to make the most of every advantage naturally leads to chance taking.

It is most important that they should

be lived up to to the letter and that infrac-

tions should meet with immediate penalty.

It is obviously impossible for any race

officials to be all-seeing and omnipresent,

and while the ideal condition would be one where such ofEcials could view all critical issues and initiate action, still in the absence of such action there should be no possible objection to proper protests by those who have been the victims of broken rules.

All games- of sports have codes of conduct. Tennis has foot-faults, football has holding, and polo has off-side play. Pen-

alties are frequent, are accepted with the best of grace and cauSe no subsequent ill feeling; in fact, are forgotten before the game is over in many cases. Isn't it fair to ask why yacht racing should have developed the tradition that there is something unsportsmanlike in a protest, and that there should be some odium attached to the man who makes one? This is surely quite a mistaken notion. It leads to careless sailing, it creates dangerous situations, and in the end lowers the standards of sailing themselves. Until we disabuse our minds of the idea, there cannot be clean racing nor can.we escape the risk of collision and serious damage to one or the other of the boats involved.

Protests should be made in a formal

manner, without heat, and should be con-

sidered by the race officials as soon as possible after the.occurrence. The rules are carefully formulated, they are uniform throughout the yacht-racing world, and can be readily assimilated by a few hours' study, provided one haS sufficient interest to give these rules proper thought.

A most excellent book on the general subject is the "Hand Book of American Yacht Racing Rules," writtert by mem-

bers of the New York Yacht Club, and published by Putnam & Sons of New York.

Frequent meetings should be held dur-

ing the winter months, at which fine

points in the racing game should be discussed and tt?e fullest criticism invited.

Difficult quesiions should be submitted-to competent authorities and magazines de_ vcted.to the sport should pu6lish prob_ lcms ln tlletr papers and seek replies to the questions involved give a concrete example, a particu- To interesting larly correspondence ii given below, being a query to certain exlerts and their several replies. It is only fair to say that in this particular case the boat making the protest, while she was di_ rectly involved, still had no special interest in the matter except the one of wish_ ing to see the strict -observance of the rules of the yachting game.

The following letter was sent to cer_ tain yachtmen who were thought competent to pass on the issue involved: -

1o....

My dear Sir:

.I shall be greatly obliged to you if you will grve me your opinion of the merits of the case in the follcjwing situation: Two racing boats, A and B. are aooroachins the windward mark on opposite titks, wini northeast. A is on the pori iack and can easilv make the mark. B, however, is approaching th-e mark on the starboard tack and- would Jtrike A at some point forward of her shroud"vided-both boats kept on their courses. A dois "."not g.ive- way, however, until B calls ..Right_of_ way," when A goes about away from the-mark. coincident with B's luffing to avoid collision.

B, finding that she can safely round the mark. keeps swinging, rounds the mark and lays hei course for the next mark. She has so little room, however, that she cannot start sheets for -some_ 5econds, but does safely clear thi mark without mishap.

B protests A on the ground that the riehts of the starboard are inviolate (Rule XII. Section 2-(a) ), and claims that no warning'is required nor must contact actually occur Io cause the foul. B also claims the right to decide for herself whether the proper time has come to

A claims that as B is about to round the mark on the required side. and does so on round the mark without delay, that theri was no interference, and that altfiough B did cail for -room, tha-t_ her inrmediate roinding of the mark was sufficient evidence that no Joul oc-

CHICAGO YACHT CLUB'S OPPORTUNITY The following letter, from a memE)r recently moved to New York, to Mr- Frank Wevir, speaks for itself in regard to the vast natural advantages presented to yachtsmen in Chicago:

After riding about ^t-ifri tfriiiv *it.* on a railway and at Greenwich takinE a taxi uD to the harbor, I arrlved' +nd It lfas foind a verf wonderful club house. and yoq would i p. iir"" ^.(Sundav), there would have been a thought that have "Uo"t crowd out there at their beautiful club house, is considered the finest in *t i"t, Uy the way, -were four or five people at the Eistl There the club. and f was informed that the races were being held outside. They- must have been very much outside, because lrom se-veral places wirere I viewed the sound, I could not see a sail.

-

I had the same experience last Saturday when I went over to Manhassett Bay. I met a very

fine fellow by the name of Curry who o,riginally owned Mr. Spies' "Siren," which at that time

went out for a fine sail, and believe me, Frank, the thirties are a fine craft. They would be wonderful for Lake Michigan, and remind me a whole lot of Larakin, except that they are a lit-

tle more modern in design. Larakin, as you know, was a Buzzard Bay thirtY. Now, what I am telling you is this: that compared with Chicago, there is not near the inducement in Nerr York for yachting as there is back home for the average feIlow. Long fsland Sound is not and never will be the wonderful body of water for sailing that Lake Michigan is. It is probably more convenient for cruising here, but the winds are not nearly as steady as they are at home. You fellows want to make the drive of your life to get that new club house started, because with thatbuilding on the north point of the harbor, you would have absolutely the best location of any yacht club in the United States. I do not know of a yacht club here where the races can be watched from the club house. Just think what this alone would mean to the membersbip and to the game as well. There is not a yacht club in New York (where there are any yachts) that is within miles of a convenient location, and what is more, I do not think that there is a single club here which has as good a fleet as the Chicago Yacht Club.

The small yacht is the thing here. I have seen Stars, Jewels, Fish, Arrow, Bird and all the rest of the small yachts, but I still think the same as I did while I was back there, and the proud owner of a Chicago One-Design,

ever slipped over a wave.

Marconi rig is considered here to be far superior to the Gaff, and all the new boats are being equipped this way. f wish the club success in their effort to obtain the five hundred new members, and I feel sure that if those who enjoy the water in and around Chicago would only stop and realize what a God's blessing has been placed at their front door, you would not be looking long for five hundred new members.

Sircerely yours,

DICK THOMPKINSON.

I

We expect to annollncg the coming ot one such boat in our next issue. She is

a magnificent ship. The best type for

Lake Michigan. Big, powerful, fast and able to take anything the elements may turn loose on the lakes. She is a good start. Who will be next?

Two splendid schooners are for sale in Milwaukee, we are informed. Theywould be fine additions to our fleet. Down East

there are many good boats offered.

Schooners, yawls, sloops. Just the type of boat we want to see here.

Any member, new or old, who is considering the purchase of a boat can get advice through the News.

And meanwhile, Fellow Yachstmen, congratulations. You have the finest club in the United States, the best board ot officers and directors, and you are going to have the finest yacht club house ever

built. It is going to be the best club in the city. Open all year round, with

?

everything to promote yachting activity, social activity, good fellowship.

You are to be congratulated. More power to you.

Mv-Your dear Sir: letter of August 22nd rcceived.

I don't pose as ai expert on racing iules, me but after reading your letter it seems tojustithat there is no iuLstion but that B was fied in protesting A. The starboard tack has the prec-edence oier all other rules,.and it seems to me that B could have kept on sailing as long as he wished before turning the mark. I don't think A had any right to assume that B was about to round- the mark when he did. I don't think B was premature in calliirg for room if there was any danger of a collision.

Dear Sir:

Your question is one that is not distinctly and soecificallv covered in the rules, but the

writer is of tire ooinion that A should have given room to B. The fact that the latter bo,at Eould not start sheets, presumably because the boom would have fouled the mark, shows how close was the clearance allowed. The only question remaining is how close B was to A. Ii it had been possible for B to get around without having io trim sheets for the specific purpose of avoiding a foul on. the mark, -I *orild say that A wis right in claiming the call for room premature, Yours truly' GERALD T. WHITE, Editor, The Rudder Magazine.

From .

Dear Sir:

On my return my attention was called to

some ccirrespondence Mr. Hall had with-you regarding a ioul in one of your races on Lake

Michigan-, and I merely want to say that I aeree with Mr. Hall that the boat on the starb6ard tack had the right of way. Almost the identical situation arose here on Great South Bay, and to the surprise of every one, the reea[ta committee decided in favor of the boat

6n the port tack. 'Ihis created a lot of criticism by members of nearly all the other regatta iommittees, as there is nothing in the

lules that gives the boat on the port tack rights over a boai on the starboard tack. If the star-

board tack is not held inviolate, the results

would certainly be disastrous mahy times.

Yours trulY,

H. L. STONE,

Editor, Yachting Magazine.

It is interesting to note that in the case cited above the judges denied B's protest and excused A, but the consensus of opinion of the experts seems to support B in his claim.

IN YACHTING WOMAN (Continued {rom Page 5)

You make a snug harbor at sun down. Perhaps you have a swim before. supper. Then you stretch out any place on deck beneath the quiet stars, listening to the crickets, frogs, and birds, the tinkle of a cowbell, and other music of the night, and turn in and feel-O, such a feeling

of satisfaction!

Every Day Is Different I

Every day is not the same. When you have made your harbor at sundown, or when the beacon lights are winking during a blow and a little bad weather, there's your snug cabin with

books and jolly cruising mates.

Start out another day at sun up. For some reason or other you rvant to make your next port that very day; wind or no wind to start out with. If you are of the crew, you cannot understand the why of starting out at such an

unearthly hour. No wind, as you hoist sail and shove away from the dock. Everything wet {rom the dew. Don't know whether to haul in on this sheet or ease away on that one. "Watch out for her stern!" some one shouts. You watch out by running your pike pole away through a rotten post into the dock. Her stern's alright, though, even if you did almost-gosh ding it!

You take a livelier interest in things and discover that there is a breeze outside as you round the breakwater.

Sniff! Sniff! Rub your eyes good. Yes, it's "sissages" an' pancakes, an'-say this isn't so bad after all!

Breakfast over you even want to wash dishes, and you get some of the unexpected. Your husband washes the dishes, the coffee pot'n' every-

thing!

t

The sun has gone back to bed for a nap so

you sail along on a gray day. The sky is purple, turquoise and mauve. Ahead the gulls arb flying low. The wind has lightened some, so you just jog along. Towards noon the wind dies completely, and your ship lays there wal-

lowing. You become q.uite familiar with the

sound of the slatting canvas, the swinging;boom, the rattle of the block on the sheet traveler, and if you haven't an engine, you resolve never to

cruise without one again. Of course, one that

will go when you say "Let's go." You tickle the mast, toss pennies overboard, whistle. Visions of a snug harbor before sundown vanish.

Of all the grand and glorious feelin's a breezet, Another minute you'll have it. Engines and the few hours of calm are forgotten and you are on your way. The sideJights are set out, for when on the water, darkness is swift to follow the setting sun. Watches are arranged, for it may be a few hours or a night on the lake.

Mystery of Night Sailing The stars come out one by one it seems.

Soon they're all out. The Great Dipper in the northwest, Cassiopia in the northeast and Scorpio, the most beautiful summer constellation, in the south. The moon is rising and soon you seem to be sailing in a sea of molten silver. The breeze holds good. Your harbor light of red and white flashes is quite visible now. All this with the quiet sounds of the night, the gurgle and the lap, lap, of the sea. Oh! it's bee-u-tiful, as Harry Lauder sings. One of the crew is on the look-out. He sees some things that you can't see nor anyone else. As you near the harbor, arguing ensues as to whether you should

leave the lights to poJt or to starboard or go

in between. Someorle thinks of looking in "Scates"' book and your problem is solved.

Soon all is made secure for the night. You turn in leaving the reflections of the riding light to

play about the ship,

For variety, when you have set the Coffee pot out on the cockpit floor and come up from the cabin to eat with the others, someone moves their foot gently and over goes the coffee.

You have lost the top of the pepper shaker.

Can't find it any place. In finishing up yesterday's stew you find it in the bottom of the

kettle. In port, for instance, Sheboygan or Po,rt Washington, you lay out a waist. By the

time you are ready to put it on, it will be all speckled with soot ready to wear while you have been getting yourself ready. The towns mentioned are only emergency stopping places, P. W. id particular, for the real cruising grounds are away up north of these places.

A Joy for Every Day As glorious as cruising is, we cannot cruise

all of the time or even when we want to; but we have the lake so convenient that for one day, or several days, we can enjoy the sirirple manner of living, the lack of responsibility, relaxation and change. These are needs of all humans, men and women alike. Just a short ride to the lake makes it possible for us to make

'Women, give yachting a fair chance. Go out to give of yourself and enjoy your share of it.

There is something there for every one of you.
