Harbormaster J. F. Bauder said some of the larger yachts as well as many of the smaller craft would use the waterway. : About 60 private yacht docks have been built in Biscayne bay this year to accommodate the ex. pected increase, and Bauder hi recommended ten extra slips fo: the city yacht basin. Since all visiting craft are not required to reg’ster there is no complete reco¢! of the number cf yachts which dock here but Bau- der listed last year more than 290 over 40 feet long. of which 77 were 100 feet or longer. He esti-j mated there were about 200 or more craft of less than 40 feet. Capt. J. B. Melver, president of the Marine Association of Mi- ami, said about $2,700.000 wa: spent here last season in upkeep; provisioning, dockage and pay- ment of crews of yachts. He ob tained his figures from answers tc ' questionnaires he sent to owners of 399 boats, Among the larger yachts ex- pected shortly are the Vagabondia | owned by Richard Mellon of Pitts- burgh, the Lone Star of Frederick W.
