Sailor A-hoyt

The inimitable Norris Hoyt and the Harvard Yacht Club reunited in salty embrace last night as Hoyt presented his quasi-annual "What I did last summer" in the Harvard Union Common Room. The popular yachtsman was primed with spice and slides to accompany the narration of his European tour and races and his eleven-day transatlantic crossing on the racing yacht Figure.

Hoyt was the featured speaker at the Club's fall organization meeting, where George O'Day, Olympic yachtsman and a friend of Harvard sailing, also reported on the progress of plans for a new Club float on the Charles River Basin. O'Day, who may supply interclub dinghies for the Club's use on the basin float expressed optimism about the possibilities for completion of the project next spring or in fall '62. The Club has submitted plans for the construction which are still in the hands of the University and have yet to be approved by the City of Cambridge.
