Mechanical Yacht Race

Early 20th century action game.

Your yacht is attached to a length of string in such a way that if the string is pulled, raised or shaken, the player can make the yacht 'sail' along the string to the finish line. The strings are attached to the table. The box illustrates rather well the set-up and the game-play.

Really cute cats are in the illustration on the box, watching mother and son playing the game.
