BEE had now closed the distance; it was becoming a dinghy-style race to the mark. BEE’s bowsprit was nearly overlap - ping BROWN SMITH JONES’s long main boom, but a luff by her helmsman kept her clear and she made the turn with all hands lined up on deck trimming sheets, saying “two six, two six” as they swayed them in.

After a sumptuous dinner at the Gibson Island Clubhouse near Annapolis, Maryland, on a broad veranda overlooking Chesapeake Bay, J. Linton Rigg declared, “I’ve got the fastest bugeye on the bay.” The newest owner of the bugeye BROWN SMITH JONES had a point: she had been feared by nearly every oyster poacher on the bay 40 years earlier, when the Oyster Police used her to enforce catch limits. She had a rapid- /f_i re ri/f_l e on her foredeck, and she could outrun any poacher she enco... | |

There was no countdown; when the race of/f_icer’s venerable railroad pocket watch showed the hour of 2 o’clock, a shotgun was /f_ired and the race was on. BROWN SMITH JONES was closer to the line at the gun and crossed quickly, with BEE a few lengths behind. Riggs’s crew hoisted their borrowed, light canvas bal - looner (a spinnaker set to weather) right away, and she spread a broader bow wave as her speed incre... | |

BROWN SMITH JONES and her tender, TOM DICK HARRY , looked right at home after a spell on Long Island Sound. She was about 66 ' LOD but had a sparred length of nearly 100 ', counting her bowsprit and her long main boom extending over her “patent” stern—a platfo... | |

BEE enlisted some Eastern Shore log canoe sailors, and the canoe champion Caulk Kemp contributed a square sail from his FLYING CLOUD. A 1,900-sq-ft spinnaker was found and made ready to hoist from the foremast on downwind legs. BROWN SMITH JONES went one better. Riggs’s Long Island Sound crew found a 2,800-sq-ft spinnaker raided from the locker of AMERICA’s Cup sloop RESOLUTE, to be carried from her own lashed-on fore topmast. She added a 6' extension to her bowsprit to help /f_ly th... |
