Dartmouth Yacht Club

THE YACHT CLUB produced three new Alden "X" dinghies at the opening of college this fall. These boats were built by Nick Hatheway of Newburyport, Mass., for $2lO complete. They are made of Virginia cedar trimmed with mahogany. They are 111/2 ft. long, 5 ft. 8 in. wide and carry 72 sq.ft. of sail. One boat was given by an enthusiastic Chicago yachtsman who summers on Cape Cod. The second boat was donated by J. P. Carney 'O4, Carl Woods 'O4, Mr. and Mrs. O. H. Shenstone 'lO, Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Schwarz, Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Allbright, Miss Mary Parlett and by another Chicago yachtsman interested in the club. The third dinghy was financed by George N. Proctor 111 '3l, Donald W. Gardner '27, Llewellyn P. White '25, William Sleigh '25, Charles W. Bartlett '27, Mr. A. W. Rockwood and by the dues from thirty new members. The club is grateful to Sidney C. Hayward '26 and to Robert J. Holmes 'O9 of the Alumni Council for giving us the necessary start in getting funds for the dinghies.

About twenty men are taking sailing for recreational credit. They leave Hanover three times a week at 1:30, sail on Lake Mascoma for an hour, and return to town about 4 o'clock. The dinghies are kept in the Enfield Outing Club boathouse which was formerly used by the crew.

The club sailed against Amherst on October 3 and won in two straight races. Joseph C. Shenstone '3B won both the races for Dartmouth. Commodore Stuart Allbright '3B placed second in one race and William Broer '4l fourth in the other.

Three Dartmouth crews raced Brown in their Dyer "D" dinghies on October 17 and against Harvard, M. I. T., and Brown in the M. I. T. dinghies on the Charles River on October 24. Dartmouth will be represented by two sailing crews in the Boston Dinghy Regatta on November 7 (using M. 1. T. boats). Further information about the club can be obtained from Stuart Allbright, 3 North Massachusetts Hall, Hanover, N. H.
