Summary
This class was limited to motorboats less than 60 feet in length, and with a total piston area not exceeding that of four cylinders, each of 106 mm. bore. It has not previously been published in a book that women competed in this sport, but The Times noted, ". . . it is worthy of special remark as an example of feminine endurance that Mrs. Gorham was also on board."
