June 17. The cup yacht Resolute tested a novel curved topsail with five battens and higher reach than before. After an hour of trial with a Herreshoff mainsail in Narragansett Bay the crew prepared for a tow to New London and Long Island Sound, deeming the sail ready for next week's racing. A different mainsail was tried but found too large.
