Crowninshield talks yacht plans and cup defense
Francis B. Crowninshield says he may sail on the new yacht but cannot speak authoritatively on the boat. He notes management would likely be shared by his brother B B Crowninshield Charles Francis Adams and Carl J Hodges with an expert professional skipper. He anticipates a board of management and expects the best boat to be chosen without prejudice, possibly racing against Sir Thomas Lipton’s yacht.
