Canada Deliberates Not To Send Yacht Challenge
Amateur sports circles report Canada weighing a potential challenger for the America’s Cup next summer. Alexander C Ross’s telegraphed notice to the New York Yacht Club prompts discussion on financing and official indorsement by the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron. McNutt notes no indorsement yet, but Cape Breton and Nova Scotia yacht interests may back a plan. Montreal financiers and syndicates could finance or organize a voyage, with Ross starting efforts and others likely to join. The New York Yacht Club awaits formal challenge details, while restrictions on challengers and defenders are debated to encourage sturdier craft.
