YANKEE‘S NEW WELDED MAST SAVES IN AIR RESISTANCE
Returning the recent visit of the British yacht Endeavour, which challenged for the America’s Cup last year, the American yacht Yankee, shown on the front cover of this week’s Science News Letter, is now in England for a series of races with British sloops in her J class.
The Yankee’s newest contribution to yachting is her 165-foot, all-welded nickel steel mast, first of its kind ever placed aboard such a large yacht, according to the Lincoln Electric Co.
