The competing six-metres· ·were Circe, Great Britain, and Goose, U.S.A. Circe won the first race rough weather over a windward and leeward course by nearly two minutes. She won the second in a moderato breeze over a triangular course by half a minute. and the third in light, fluky airs by 29 sec. after having been as

much as five minutos astern.

The owner and helmsman of Circo is Mr. J. H. Thom, a member of all the principal Scottish clubs and a very

sound steersman.

NEW BRITISH DESIGNER

Tho victory of the Circe is of par- ticular interest to British yachtsmen at this period, because it has been widely deplored that there is not only a scarcity of young yacht de-.. signers, but coming men have little opportunity of showing their ability.

Circe was designed last year by Mr. David Boyd, a young Scottish naval architect, who is now with the wall known firm of Clyde yacht build- ers. Alexander Robertson and Sone Ltd. So little prominence has been given to Mr. Boyd's work that his name does not even appear in the list of designers" in "Lloyd's Register of Yachts." Circe is described as 'hav- Ing been designed by her builders:";

This inadvertently does injustive to a young and distinguished architect.. One might as well describe a picture as being by the makers of the paint, canvas and frame and omit mention of the artist! Robertson's, of Sand bank, build splendid yachts, but the.. Cup was won through the skill "of their designer,

To produce a modern racing yacht, whether of "J" Class or six-metre size, which can turn out to be an in- ternational cup winner and beat the best boat in America in three straight: races, is a great personal achievement in the science and art of yacht archit- ecture. This has been done by Mr. Boyd, not with a freakish-or peculiar type of design, but with a craft of really beautiful shape. There is no "eason why Mr. Boyd should not be equally successful in the future with the design of a larger racing yacht.

LORD GLANELY'S NEW TRAINER Basil Jarvis To Succeed Captain T. Hogg
