THE HISTORY OF AMERICAN YACHTING. 21 class, no separation of rig ; an allowance of 35 seconds a ton for all over 50 tons, and 45 seconds for all yachts 50 tons and under. There started in the first class the schooners Cornelia and Siren, and the sloop Maria, and in the second class only the schooner Sybil. Evidently a voyage around the lightship was looked upon with some distrust by the yachtsmen of 1849. The Maria came in ahead, but lost on allowance of time to the schooner Cornelia. The Sybil, of course, had a walk over. In those days, however, this going around the lightship was considered a great feat, and by many, a most imprudent proceeding. Still the more adventurous did not think so, and October 13 the schooners Cornelia and Breeze sailed a match over this course, starting from Robbins Reef. the club course, and the second day around the lightship, starting from Rob- bins Reef.
