New North Shore Yacht Club Might Boost Local Racing
Local yachtsmen discuss forming a new yacht club inspired by Scotland's Mudhook Club. Aimed at racing men, it would have no clubhouse and draw members from North Shore clubs with headquarters likely at Manchester by the Sea or Beverly Farms. Names such as Charles A. Prince and other prominent sailors are linked to the effort. New 46-footers by Fife and John B Paine are planned, signaling a hot 46-foot class this season, while Hull Yacht Club schedules include multiple prize races and ladies events.
