Cowes yachting is rather naso- clated to the pubile mlad with colossal, floating hotels-cum-night clubs, owned by persons whose inconies, by com. parison with Means Test allowances, are fantastic.

It is true that the great yachts have contributed much spectacular beauty to Cowes Week.

There is one type of ship which, beyond all others, lins charmed the eyes of sailors ever since.- men -aral went down to the men. This the old square-rigger of which the yachting - feel has provided such fine types well known at Cowes.

Many people now become gachtsmen who hardly a generation nga had only the remotest chatice of entling for pleasure. Cowes has been the home port of many of the world's greatest yachts, and boasts what is no doubt the great- est yacht club, the Royal Yacht Sqund-. ron, members of which bave the well- known privilege of flying the while ezsign.

For Working-Men

But there are other clubs at Cowes which have helped to give a wider spread to the vogue of yachting. An out standing exatunk is the East Cowen Sailing Club, which was formed about twenty years ago by three working men, and includes in ita constitution the rule that 76 per cent. of its Com- mittee shall be working inen.

This club is now millated to the Yacht Racing Association, and has a membership of over twa hundred and thirty.

The whole work of the club in carried 'out by the members themselves who, almost 'without excepilon, fit out, lay up, and often build and repair their

own craft.
