They are divided into three types. First the really serious sal- lors who spend Christmas night sleeping on board their yachts at their anchorages in Causeway Bay, with a threefold purpose, they like it, they know the boat boy will wake them up in good time in the morning (probably about 5.00 A.M.) and they want to get the habit of sleeping under difficulties. Secondly, there is a somewhat dubious type who ap- pear at Murray Pler at the last moment, with an immense hang- over, but dressed in the right co- thes. Thirdly, there is the type, far more interesting and jovial, who faces the starter early or late, 'with an equally grand carry over. but in his evening dress of the night before.
So the race starts, but the aver- age probabilty is that any yacht will have to travel at least a hund-, red miles through the water, so the Christmas festivities are thing of the distant past, long before the Yacht Club line is pass- ed on the homeward trip.
