SEASON IN ENGLAND
CONTESTS FOR J CLASS
Now that the English racing season has closed, the results of the contests for J class yachts should prove interesting, especially in view of the iew boat Endeavour II being among the competitors. Following is a complete record for the season:—
Boat. Starts Is*--. 2nd 3rd l\s. Endeavour .1 . 34 7 12 1 53 Velsheda 34 8 7 1 47 Kndeavoiir II •IS 9 f ~ f. Astra 32 8 5 1 4J
Of the races in which Endeavour II started two were abandoned owing to mishaps and one owing to the boats sailing different courses. Endeavour retired on account of a mishap from another race and failed to finish once owing to lack of wind. She was placed either first or second in all of the other races in which she' started. Endeavour II was beaten twice by Astra and once each by Velsheda and Endeavour I. On a 36-miles course with a good, true wind the difference between ths vessels is roughly:—Endeavour 11. scrj Endeavour I, 2m 245: Velsheda, 4m 28s; Astra, 9m 235.
