The King’s yacht Britannia will not race again, and the King will not race another yacht. His Majesty is reported to have replied when offered a faster craft: “I do not want a new yacht. The Britannia is good enough for me." Sir 'Philip Hunloke, who Is the King’s sailing master, commented: “ One cannot come in last all the time. It is humiliating to the old boat. It is better to retire while she has a wonderful irecoi'd.”
