'A challenge by the Island Sailing Club, of Cowes, England, has been accepted here by the Beverly Yacht Club of Marion, Massachusetts, for a team match this summer between Great Britain and the United States in the Thirty Square Metre class.
This has been announced here by the resident of the Thirty Square Metre Association, Mr. Paul Dudley Dean.
The challenge originated from Mr. Uffa fox, well known British author on yachts, designer and builder Introduced into the British Isles only last summer, the "Thirty" class nov has six boats owned or being built in those waters.
Races in the international materi will probably take place during the last week in August. This will give British yachtsmen an opportunity to do some class racing off the Isle of Wight during Cowes Week early that month.
Buzzards Ray, off the Massachusetts coast, where the Endeavours were under sail last summer, will probably be the location of the racing. Participation in other international racing in neighbouring waters may follow.
A Swedish team which will he competing at Cowes this coming year may also come to America to sail with the international "Thirties," it is reported.—Reuter.
