Chamberlayne should waive the condition imposing a restriction on the use of the Mayflowers centreboard Considerable pressure is being brought to bear upon him in this direction and avery a-very general desire on the part of English Eng-lish yachtsmen that he should do so is reported Chamberlayno is not such a bad fellow after all for an Englishman Being asked i he could choose an outside out-side course he said Im afraid that if we were to meet heavy weather the ArroW Ar-row would not hold together I would not dare drive her in a seaway Even with the centre board sealed I am certain of defeat my only hope being in a fluke Then next season I would build a centre board yacht on this sidefor I believe in the ideago to America and try to regain re-gain the Queens Cup from the Americans cans with one of their own type of vessel built on the Mayflower principle You will understand that I ask for the sealing of the centreboard simply to prevent thrace th-race becoming a
