'Valentine' was replaced by the 'Windfall,' and 'Glycera,' by the 'Savourna,' the two new boats being designed by Mr. Payne and built by the new firm of Summers & Payne, which like a phoenix had risen from the ashes of a disastrous fire at the Belvidere yards of A. R. Payne & Sons and Black & Co. (late Hatcher & Co.). Mr. Summers, having command of capital, bought up both these firms, took Mr. Arthur Payne into partnership, erected labour-saving machinery, rebuilt the premises in a very substantial manner, and brought a good business capacity to bear upon the whole concern. In the two new 5-raters the fin-keel, the lug, and the general arrangements on the 'Babe' and 'Hummer' were carried into the larger class with complete success. Mr. Langrishe joined the class with a new boat, the 'Iernia,' built at Gosport and designed by the son of Fife. She differed from Mr. Payne's boats in possessing considerable overhang, in a flare bow, and a long counter. Her hull was somewhat similar to 'Valentine,' and she was rigged as a lug sloop like 'Savourna.' 'Windfall,' however, sported the divided skirt in front of the mast. _Racing Records, 1891._ +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | Prizes | Figure | | 1891 | Starts |-------+-------+-------| of | | | | First | Other | Total | merit | |-------------------------+--------+-------+-------+-------+--------| | _5-Rating Class_ | | | | | | | | | | | | | |Windfall | 40 | 22 | 12 | 34 | 45 | |Savourna | 40 | 14 | 20 | 34 | 29 | |Alwida | 29 | 6 | 8 | 14 | 16 | |Iernia | 29 | 3 | 4 | 7 | 8 | | | | | | | | |_2-1/2-Rating Class_ | | | | | | | | | | | | | |The Babe | 45 | 36 | 3 | 39 | 67 | |Avadavat | 40 | 12 | 17 | 29 | 25 | |Fiera | 33 | 7 | 9 | 17 | 17 | |Janetta | 36 | 1 | 11 | 12 | 2 | | | | | | | | | _1/2-Rating Class_ | | | | | | | | | | | | | |Spruce | 12 | 6 | 2 | 8 | 35 | |Tiny | 33 | 14 | 7 | 21 | 34 | |Narua | 25 | 9 | 6 | 15 | 28 | |Bairn | 29 | 9 | 11 | 20 | 25 |
