VELSHEDA'S
SENSATION
IN YACHTING Four Successes In Fortnight Series. CHELTENHAM WIN FOURS
London, June 27. Velsheda the all-steel J-class yacht launched this season for Mr. W. L. Stephenson (chairman of the British section of Messrs. F. W. Woolworth and Co., Ltd.), has created a sensation in yachting cir- cles by scoring four remarkable vic- tories over Britannia and Shamrock V in the Clyde Fortnight Series, at Rothesay.
On Saturday she was closely challenged by Shamrock V and Bri- tannia at the start of the 39-miles course, but at the half-way mark was 3 min. in front of Shamrock V, which was 4 mina, ahead of Bri- Lannia to secure second place, but Velsheda won easily by the excep- tionally wide margin of 18 mins.
It is now rumoured that Mr. Stephenson will issue a chal- lenge for the Americas Cup.
