Here is another article I wish we had access to the original photos. I want to see the faces of Wood and Greening!! Am I imagining a sheepish smile?
They were divided into three classes according to the piston displacement of their motors as follows:
Gar Wood and Harry Greening entered Greenwood powered with three Johnson motors. As they ran out of gas and thus finished last, they will confine their activities hereafter to single powered racing craft.
Class A was won by Long Green, owned by W. R. Doak, and powered by a Johnson motor.
Class B was won by Skipper, a Caille powered boat, owned by F. Kirk, which did the six miles in the remarkable time of 42 minutes, 23 seconds, which is the rate of 8 1/2 miles per hour.
In Class C, Huup owned by A. B. Cohn, completed the course in 34 minutes 5 seconds, and took first prize. Huup is equipped with a twin Evinrude, and her speed for the distance at the rate of 10 1/2 miles per hour, faster than most cruisers go.
