Constellation Breaks Record in Marblehead Regatta
Marblehead August reports the Constellation leading a fleet of twenty-five racers from Vineyard Haven to Marblehead with a record 103 mile run, surpassing the old Freetwing time by 2 hours 13 minutes. The Dauntless and Katrina faced topmast damage but competed steadfastly as other clubs and vessels joined the day’s sail race. The New York Yacht Club fleet, including America and Dauntless, observed a light southwest wind and a brisk Cape Cod shore run before finishing. The Vamoose left Cottage City as the day’s press boat, and Marblehead anticipated the return to Newport by Thursday.
