Finest Fleet Of Sea-Going Yachts Britain Has Ever Built
WILL THE Y.R.A. CONTINUE TO BE TIED BY HANDICAP
.!!....
The curious feature of the present yachting season is the shift in interest from the International classes. This has been exaggerated and is, I think, largely the cost of over familiarity, writes a Home correspondent. With an "Eight" or two and the new Nicholson Twelves, the Internationals offer a fair enough maximum of interest. But it is a fact, and a very healthy fact, that they no longer monopolise the situation. Not only are there a great many more boats building under the influence of the R.OR.C. rule, but these boats cover a much wider field of in- terest. ..
The Internationals have too long been a close borough, but among the RO.R.C. boats one ands new owners. new designers and new builders. Small as they are the 35-footers. with yachts de signed by so eminent a theorist as Maldon, Heckstall Smith, by Fred Cooper. Laurent Giles; Robert Clarke, and young Mr. Richard son. together with the large Nicholson ocean racers and such others as may be, these form the finest fleet of small sea-going yachts we have ever built,

THE YACHT RACING ASSOCIATION
Unluckily for the coming sea- son, when in the winter of 1935 the Y.R.A. took stock of the situa tion and became heavy with thought, after much labour a very old mouse was given birth. With the best will in the world, neither Gross gir-William-Burton nor Major B. Score Heckstall Smith could or would consider open racing as a possibl- lity, except in terms of handicap racing.

A FAMOUS NORTHERN CRICKET CLUB
Craven Gentlemen Now Run Two Grounds
1 No one, I imagine, has any ob- Jection to handicap racing in its place, and on a properly organis- ed basis. Handicap racing, how- ever, under the Y.R.A. has beeri for years past represented by a Handful of yachts, going the round of
regattas. It Was all very amiable and no doubt good, fun, but had very little to do with yacht racing. It worked smoothly enough so long as the circus was left to play by itself and ceased to function the moment an out- -side entry was received,
This was the "system" solemnly recommended to meet the de- velopment of Interest in racing Down in the South we are in-under the R.OR.C. rule and this clined to think of Northern crickets the "system" with which the YRA now proposes to grapple consisting entirely of lesque matches, and truth to tell there is with entries of something like 150 very little of the "friendly" variety: yachts holding certificates under
