Caption: HFP061302-6/13/58-NEWPORT, R.I.: Max Aitken of Surrey, England appears confident as he lounges aboard his 58-foot sloop Drumbeat with his wife Violet. A major last minute change was made, 6/13, on the American-designed, British-built sloop substituting a single centerboard for the original double. Mr. Aitken believes this will give them a better chance in the Newport to Bermuda sailing race, 6/14. FOR SUNDAY AM's 6/15/58, SUGGESTED FOR USE WITH STORY BY WILLIAM D CLARK.
