With his passion for extending sport among youth, I feel sure small boat sailing will be advocated by the King as one of the essential sporting ex- pressions of virile nation. We shall witness an extension of racing among youth, oven, school boys, as a result of our Sovereign's sporting advocacy. That King Edward has a genuine love of the sea is only too apparent, as not only did he serve in the Navy, but he has probably "cruised" some 200,000 miles in all sorts of craft to the furthest ends of the world, and must not be forgotten that His Majesty has cruised extensively in yachts of the coast of Spain and in the Medi- terranean, as recently as last Septem- ber.
