THERE has not been time to organize many new classes or build many new boats since the demobilization of the yachtsmen, the most of whom saw service in the war, so that the sport this summer is confined largely to craft in existence prior to the war. The result has been that the price of boats now in existence has increased rapidly. For instance, the 30-footers of the New York Yacht Club, one of the most popular and successful one-design classes ever built, are selling now at the same price that they sold for six years ago; and the price of other boats is approximately the same, provided they were originally well-constructed and possessed the qualities of seaworthiness and reasonable speed, which are always necessary if a boat is to be satisfactory for racing and cruising. For the man who wishes to try yacht racing this season, I am aftaid a considerably larger bank-roll than was necessary five years ago will be needed. Not only has the cost of running a sailors boarding house increased, along with the increase in wages that it is necessary to pay the men, but it is also essential to have means of transportation from your home port to the starting line of the various races, and such transportation, which must almost invariably be in the form of a motor boat, is harder to obtain, and hatdet to operate. Formerly a very satisfactory racing boat, about 25 feet waterline, could be obtained for between 1, 500 and 2, 000, and a tender for the same sum. The wages of the sailors amounted to about 120 per month, and the additional expenses brought the. . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN.
