Defiance Yacht Trials Off Greenwich Mark Quiet Start
The tri city syndicate yacht Defiance sailed on Long Island Sound from Greenwich with designer George Owen and owners George M. Pynchon and George Lander Jr. The trial was a light weather test and deemed a success as she showed easy handling and a smooth wake. About 100 yachts and guests observed, with the Pynchon party on board including Mrs. G. M. Pynchon. The crew noted minor wrinkles in the mainsail and a need to adjust jib trimming. Next week summer residents begin arriving along the shore, including Sasanoa Bluffs families across the river.

Defiance Leads Cup Yacht Time Adjustment For Resolute
The Resolute reduced sail area to speed up time allowance by over two seconds per mile but appears unchanged in speed. Under the new rules the Resolute gains 66 seconds in a 30 mile race while Defiance and Vanitie would gain nearly five minutes if their rigs stay the same. Racing numbers were assigned H1 for Defiance H2 for Resolute and Hu for Vanitie. The Resolute was moored near the frigate Constellation at the Training station during measurement.
