Seawanhaka Cup Race Off Amid High Winds
No race yesterday on Lake St. Louis as wind and sea rose to 1 foot. The Seawanhaka Cup, pitting small yachts from Great Britain and the United States, has seen England win the first contest. Montreal’s Royal St Lawrence Yacht Club challenged in 1896 with designs by G Herrick Duggar. Duggar and Clinton H Crane have long been associated with the cup and its boats.

Duggan is praised as a top designer and sailor, and J Keith Reid plans a yacht from Duggan’s design, a lifelong friend.
