Yachts Skiddoo and Chewink VI Seek September National Race
Designer Nat Herreshoff prepares two racing yachts for trials to select America’s representatives to race Germany in September. The Skiddoo and Chewink VI finished a month ago and raced Cape Cod, with the Chewink VI weatherbound in Vineyard Haven before rounding the cape in rough seas. The Martins head to Marblehead for trials off Massachusetts Bay. The Skiddoo trails in practice, while the Chewink VI, owned by Frank Macomber Jr., is praised by many as a top East Coast sprinter among amateur yachtsmen.

It allows closer planting in small gardens, but is costly for commercial use. In commercial plots, plants are four feet apart in check rows for bidirectional cultivation.
