DEFENDER IS A MARVEL
The New Yacht Outsails Vigilant at
Every Point. '
A PAIR TEST or HER POWERS.
The Results of the Race Lead the “’ise
Ones to Believe That the Bronze
Beauty Is the Fastest Boat
of Her Kind Afloat.
NEW YORK, July 22. —-Now that Defend-
er has met Vigilant and vanquished her
over a course of 15 miles to windward and
return and in the same waters that the
cup races with Valkyrie III will take place
in September. a review of her more than
excellent performance will prove interest-
mg.
That Defender is a boat much superior
to Vigilant was clearly proved. The new
boat not only outpointcd the old champion
to a remarkable extent, but she outfooted
her as well when sailing to windward.
Moreover, on the run home before the
wind, with Vigilant's ccnterboard hauled
up, she gained on the old champion, an ad-
vantage that her most enthusiastic admir-
ers did not anticipate. The weather was
about what is to be expected during the
season in which the cup races will take
place. There was a good breeze of from 12
to 15 knots an hour blowing throughout
the day, and the sea wa ssmooth. ’
Taking everything into consideration,
the trial was all that could have been
asked for in the results. It is believed that
Vigilant has been improved from five

to ten minutes in a course-of 30 miles over
her form of 1893, and if this is the case
the Defender showed herself to be a mar-
vel. ‘
It is claimed for Defender that she will
be even better in a blow. If that opinion
is accurate, the cup is safe, according to
the general belief of everybody who saw
the boats sail. The most liberal minded
sharks who have been arguing right along
that Valkyrie is a boat of Yankee model
coming over to win in Yankee waters and
expecting her to do it, said after the race
that Defender is so good in light weather
that the English boat cannot be anything
short of an honest miracle to win.
The Race.
The yachts started over the line on the
starboard tack. The Defender was not
500 feet beyond the line before she went
about, went over to the port tack and
headed in for the New J crsey shore. Vigi-
lant continued on her tack offshore up to
11 :35, or over four minutes from the time
that size Went over on her original tack.
At 11:37 Defender Wont about again.
It seemed as though Vigilant people
were not anxious to enter into a competi-
tion in the time occupied in going about.
The work of Defender in this particular
was of the very best order. She went
around as though on some kind of a spiral
machine. On this particular tack Defend.-
er was about 16 seconds in going in stays,
and this time was slow as compared with
what she did later in the day. In tacks
that followed, some people took the time
between a luff into the wind and a full
sail on the other tack as ten seconds.
Watches may differ on this point, but the
average among them, taking good clocks
and indifferent, will probably make the
time of Defender in going about in the
breeze that prevailed at about 12% sec—
onds
This is a point that must be considered
very seriously. Valkyrie of 1893 was in-
disputably a very quick boat to tack. It
has been estimated that she gained some-
where betwccn 10 and 15 seconds on Vigi-
lant in going about. If Defender can
make her turn from full to full in any-
thing like 15 seconds, she will do, so far
as that point is concerned.
Further details of the race are not noc-
‘ essary to explain that Defender on such a
day is a much better boat than Vigilant.
On every tack that was made Defender
showed up in the lead. She gained in ev—
ery way. The gap that she opened be-
tween her stern and the bow of Vigilant
was not only made by her speed in footing,
but her pointing up against the wind was
something that astounded the sharps who
looked at her.
Vigilant ‘Vasn’t In It.
Both boats were treated to a good full
many times during the day. Defender’s
sails were always chocked full of wind,
yet she headed up higher than the old boat
from 1 to 1% points by the compass. There
were times when Vigilant was pinched
very hard, when her headsails were shak-
ing quite lively in the effort to find out
how near she could come to the work of
Defender in the pointing part of it. But
at no time, pinched or going full, take it
either way, could Vigilant touch the new
boat as a possible winner might.
The Herreshoff model was always in the
lead and always increasing that lead until
by some chance, notwto say mismanage-
ment, they mistook the spot where the
buoy around which "the yachts were to
turn was placed.» Defender run so far to
the leeward of that mark by this unfortu-
nate misjudgment mafia she lost probably
8% minutes. The loss,»of that time, which
is not overestimated, Will account for the
apparently small win that Defender got.
The beating out to the buoy, which was
dropped by the tug Luckcnbach on orders
from the regatta committee, was marked
'by only one thing in the general result;
That was that Defender gained all th

running home with the same spread of
u
There were two Other Incidents, how-
ever, that must be mentioned. ' One is the
little accident that {occurred to Defender
when she was trying? to pull down her be.-
by jibtopsail, when the crew could not pos-
sibly get the canvas down to stay. The
white coated 'sailormen, cf whom there
were 85 aboard, could not haul that-bit of
canvas down, try as they would. They
tugged, and they hauled, but with all '
their energy it took them three minutes to
get the smallest sail on the ship to deck,
and even to do that they had to send a
couple of men up 0171 the stay to grab the
canVas and pull it dewn. As was learned
afterward there was trouble with. the
downhaul, which did rnot run smoothly
through one of the blocks.
A Wonderful -Malnsail.
The removal of that sail enabled Defend.
or to point even higher still, and when
she got on her new 0 ,‘urse it looked almost
as though she were shiling in a. piece of the
wind. Vigilant people held on to their ba-
by jibtopsail for a long time, but at last
came to the conclusiOn that they might do
a little better by pulling the rag down,
and did so. The assistance thus gained
was considerable, bu‘trin proportion noth-
ing to what Defender had gained in going
up into the wind. .
All this time the gyachting sharps, who
had their eyes glugd through pOWerful
glasses, were sayin to themselves that
the mainsail on Def der was a very won-
derful piece of canvas,*in that it was draw-
ing all the time. There were no wrinkles
about the throat or‘the leach". The sail
set like a very little? house wall. It was
straight andstifi‘ allfthe time, despite the
fact that once in aw- ile' her forestaysail
and jib did shake a;ittle bit. The sails
on Vigilant were shaking a‘great deal. It;
seemed to be the idea“ of the people on the"
latter boat to keep her up high intc‘the
speed, about footing.{ ' They saw that they
were outpointcd so clearly that their one _
idea appeared to bd, “Let 'us get upas
close to the wind as possible; that is our
only chance.” The tried that to their
best ability, but at 3no time could they
come within three-q

The other distinct
out to the turning
the more against Vi
that Defender missc
, 0y will militate all
lent, for the reason
her mark by an er-
ror in judgment su ,lient to make a. dif-
ference of at least I'ree minutes in the
time of making the Whole course. Captain
Haff thought he saw7the Luckenbach at a
certain point; and, of course, judged that
the buoy would be threwn over near that
beat. He stood away in toward this pre-
sumable Luckenbach, which turned out to
be another boat altogether, and got so far
to leeward of the mark that he lost the
three in irrutes, as abs-we stated. And. three
minutes is no exaggeration of the time
lost. '
A Well Trained Crew.
At the time that Defender made this
mistake she was something more than a
mile ahead, including the weather advan-
tages she had. Getting back to her course
again, however, she rounded the buoy 2
minutes 4 seconds ahead of Vigilant.
Heading up for home, the yachts ran up
balloon jibtopsails, swung over their spin-
naker booms and set their sails over them.
In the handling of these sails Defender
showod the excellent training that her»
crew has undergone. The men from Maine
did their work not only energetically and
with a common movement that described
in itself a. patriotic feeling, but also with
all the harmony of action that is pretty
sure to prove sincerity and real willing-
ness and capability.
Vigilant took almost half as long again
to get her balloon jibtopsail to draw, and
her spinnaker polo was put down over her
side in such a slow manner that the word
lethargic would not be too strong tdusc
in describing the actions of the old boat’s
crow—that is, comparatively.
On the run home the centcrboard cranks
all said to themselves and to each other,
“ We’ll pick her up.” For a little while it
did look as though Vigilant, with her cen-
tcrboard hauled up, was gaining. Perhaps
she was. If she was, there are no official
figures to show that fact; because, after
canvas, both boats having taken in their
forestaysails and jibs, Defender went over
the line first by 2 minutes 45 seconds,
having increased her lead on that run
home by 41 seconds. When the center-
board cranks learned that fact, most of
them admitted that they had nothing
more to say, although it took a great
many words to sayit.
Stiff as a Church.
Mr. Iselin, representing Defender syndi-
cate, said that he is entirely satisfied with
the work of the boat in light weather. He
would not attempt to predict the possible
outcome of a race between Defender and
Vigilant in a stiff breeze of wind or a
blow. It could be told from his manner,
however, that he was well pleased with
the boat. All who saw the race became
easily aware that Defender was not so ten-
der as Vigilant.
The old saying that “she is as stiff as a
church" was manifestly more applicable
to Defender than to Vigilant, as the latter
boat listed decidedly more than the new
yacht. . '
The members of the New York Yacht
club who witnessed the race are unanie
mous in the belief that Defender is the
only yacht that could beat the remodeled
Vigilant, and that she is the fastest boat
of her kind afloat.
The official times of the race were as
follows: .
Start. ‘Outer mark. Finish.
Defender......, 11:30:25 - 1:34:30 2:49:05
Vigilant ........ 11 :30 :50 1 :36 :34 2 :52 :15
Thus Defender won by 2 minutes 45
seconds actual time. No time allowance
is figured upon, for the reason that Do-
fender has not been measured. It might
be added that Defender will not be meas-
ured until it becomes necessary to put the
tapeline on her. There is no occasion,
yachtsmen say, for disclosing the measure-
ments of the boat just now.-
