The excitement of the start

Mr Herbert Weld, who was elected to the Squadron in 1924, owned the Big Class cutter Lulworth, which he raced very successfully. Or to be more accurate, his crew raced very successfully, for Weld, though he was on board, usually took scant interest in what was going on. The papers were always delivered to Lulworth about half an hour before the race was due to start: Weld would then go below with a copy of The Times tucked under his arm and would not reappear until the race was well under way. ‘Hullo!’ he would say, casually looking round him. We’ve started!’ Such detachment from the excitement of the start caused astonishment to all who witnessed it.
