De- signed by Mr. Uffa Fox, of Cowes, she is the first all-welded steel ocean racing yacht and is certain to arouse considerable interest among yächtsmen.
The rig. from which she takes her name. is also a new departure, this being the shape of the gaff which sets the up- per sail. It is split and shaped like a wishbone to enable the sail while extended to take up a true aerofoil, such as seen in bird's wings

JAPANESE GOLFERS
PROFICIENCY
YOUNG PROFESSIONALS
TOURING U. S. HONOURS EVEN TO DATE
Oakmont, July 10. JAPANESE proficiency is about to reach New England golf courses. Six professional golfers from the "Land of the Rising Sun" are touring the United States and creating wide- spread interest and admiration.
Comparable to the average American player the Japanese invaders do not even look like golfers until they begin swing-" ing their clubs. The biggest member of the troupe is Bob Asami who weighs no more than 150 pounds and is 5 ft. 8 in. in height. The smallest is Jack Yaşada who has difficulty re- gistering 110 pounds on the scales and towers to all of 5 ft. 2 in. in height.

The advantage of this rig is that, while it is very efficient. it is easily worked and handled. It has also the very great ad- vantage that no backstays or runners have to be eased away to enable the sail to set and stand, and she has no spars extend- ing over the bow or Pern, such as bowsprits or bumpkins, the rig being entirely inboard and therefore strong and well set- CHICAGO
