ANOTHER FAST BOAT iii NOOVMLK WATER Qidney ward, a wealthy Tokeueke resident. has this spring added to the equipment of the Norwalk fleet 012 last sailing craft a beautiful boat that lit is expected can out-sail any boat in the harbor. Tile craft is one of the trim New York Yacht Club Thirties, and at present is tied up in the East iNorwa-lk harbor at the coal company dock. Mr. Ward is a great yachting en~ ‘thusiast and is the former owner of the “Trade Winds," a beautiful result or boat~building skill. This‘ winter Mr. Ward dispooed of the “Trade Winds." which is now at Miller's shipyard-s in South Norwalk. it is understood that the boat was purchased by local par- ties and that it will not be taken from the vicinity of the local waters by the new owner. ‘ The new boat of Mr. Ward is one . o‘t the ten that were built for mem- bers of the New York Yacht Club 'by Herreschoff. and is a keel sloop. These .ten boats were constructed af~ tor the same pattern and were idnti- cal whn completed. They were drawn for by th members of the New York Yacht Club. Of late, however, they] have been changing hands and al- though they originally cost $4,000 each, have been bringing to the own- ers on the average of 83.000. The thirties." as thq are known in racing and yachting circles all about the Sound, are fleet crafts indeed. There is not thought to be any boat in Norwalk waters that can compete in anywhere near even points with the thirties. Thus the addition to the local fleet is seen to be quite an important one. Sailing Master Wicks. of the ”Trade Winds," has been re—engaged by Mr. , -Ward. according to unofficial advices received. to sail the new boat. soils or vrrrnllls HAVE onsllllzso . “H The Sons of Veterans met with Mayor William F.
