Captain Gus- tave Olsen, of the Yankee, made a special trip to his native Oslo re- cently to hire some foremast hands. And up among the fishing fleets they say that “Cap'n Gus Olsen an’ |a crew o' Nawiggians kin beat all | hell.” | Although the yachts vary in ton- nage from the 128 1-2 to 17 and lin overall length from 120 to 127 | feet, they are built to the same geg- | eral rating, and this year, for th first time, there will be no time al- lowances, or handicaps, which al- ways have proven unsatisfactory at best. All previous cup races have been sailed in the vicinity of Sandy Hook, n New York harbor, but the course this year will be laid off Newport, between Martha's Vineyard and Block Island. The match is to be decided by the Dest four out of seven races, the first to be fifteen nautical miles to windward, or lee- ward, and return, the second on a triangle’ with approximately ten nautical miles to a side—and so on, | is de- alternating until the match cided. he new course, according to an official of the New York Yacht Club, |was sclocted because ot the likeli- hood of better wind and lesser | ocean traffic. Sightseeing craft al- | ways have crowded the waters off ir‘andy Hook, and not a few times | have seriously interfered with racing | vachts. | ned Pleasure Craft Back in '§7, for instance, during the race between the Volunteer and Thistle, steamers were crowding so close to th 1930. “It was a good sign,”” he said after the race, “but not a single boat paid any attention to it except the Thistle.” o Plenty of spectators are expected at the Newport races, however. The largest fleet of speed craft and motor cruisers ever assembled will bear striking evidence of how popu- lar boating has become for the ave- age citizen. There will be scores of luxurious private yachts, and one of them, it is rumored, may carry the Prince of Wales, Excursion steamers will carry thousands of spectators to the course. Radio, sound film and newspaper boats will dart about, while squadrons of seaplanes and government cutters patrol the course. It will be an impressive scene—a tribute of modernism to the old-time glory of American sails.
