King Albert's Race Promises Atlantic Yacht Challenge
Ocean race from Sandy Hook to Ostend with no time allowances, starting July 4 and about 3,300 miles. Entries include the Siesta skippered by Walter I Clayton and the Undaunted of Commodore Mayer, both testing seaworthiness, speed, and crew skill in a no-postpone, purely nautical contest.
