Frank Donnebacker of the Prospect Park M. Y. C. was O. O. D. And here we found an officer who went places. Instructions were clear, quick, and to the point, as one can imagine considering that with thirty-three entries on a course of nearly a mile in a near-gale the first day, and a forty- mile wind the second day, he was able to run off four complete rounds by noon of Sunday.
And there’s that chap Bill Bithell again. Congratulations, etc., Bill. Again he takes the National Championship event in the A-class. Just can’t seem to hold him down (Next stop England?).
Another writes that I should render reports like court records—seventy five write they enjoy the fun. Majority rules skippers—and anyway, I couldn’t be serious long enough to dot “I.” Life is too sad for the saddists.
Me—I prefer to laugh, even at my own pests—so if I step on your toes, well, it’s all in fun.

building a model seems to scare them;

Get a yachting picture, for the July cover,” said the editor. Well, this model yachting business was something new to me. It was a hobby I had never become well acquainted with, but one that I have always
wanted to learn about. Knowing that two clubs sail on Clove Lake in nearby Staten Island every Saturday, I decided that Staten Island was the place to go.
