F. J. Ames '28 will enter his yacht, the Primrose IV, in the first trans-Atlantic yacht race to be held in 21 years, which is to begin on June 20. The trip will be sailed in two jumps, the first of 660 miles from New London to Bermuda, to be followed by a long dash across the North Atlantic to Plymouth, England. After the Atlantic trip, Ames is expected to enter his boad in the British ocean race around Fastnet Light.
The Ocean Racing Club of England will present a cup to the winner of the Bermuda to Plymouth contest. Three other American owned yachts will accompany the Primrose IV to England.
