Meanwhile, the next best thing was crewing for Bruce Canning whenever there was a race.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt seemed, then, like a miracle to Luke to discover a Comet half buried in the muck of a South Jersey inlet where a raging northeaster had flung it. With eager hands, ingenuity, and backbreaking work, he succeeded in restoring the battered craft-abandoned as a loss by its owner-to its former beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe starting gun of the Memorial Day races signaled the beginning also of Luke's battle for the championship of the yacht-club fleet that summer. Each succeeding race and regatta sharpened Luke's wits and his timing. But could he successfully pit his hard-won knowledge against the skill of more experienced sailors for the greatest win of all, the Commodore's Cup?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStephen W.
