Transcript:
At the Cowes Regatta last summer four challengers from America battled valiantly for the British American Six Meter Championship.
Of the Challengers, Grebe stood out. In the first race when three of the American team were forced to withdraw, Grebe fought it out alone. Showing work to windward of an order rarely surpassed, she took this race from the whole British team by a wide margin. Once again, in the fourth race, Grebe led the way home. In fact, in only one race of the series did she fail to come in with the leaders.
Grebe, Gardner designed and Nevins built was a worthy challenger — a game boat, a sturdy boat and Valsparred of course!
