sharp, and hollow at the forefoot; and the run is also 

 long and \-ery fine. In sailing trim the stem fell in- 

 board slightly. The midsection shows a sharply rising 

 and somewhat hollow floor, high and firm bilge, and 

 tumble-home in the topside. 



Mounted w ith straight stem, keel, post, and rudder. 



The model is for a schooner 112 feet moulded length 

 at rail, 22 feet 6 inches moulded beam, 13 feet 4 inches

PILOT SCHOONER, 1884 

 Builder's Half-Model, usnm 160117 



The handsome pilot schooner Gh>i of Brunswick, 

 Georgia, was built on this model at Noank, Connecti- 

 cut, in 1884 from the design of G. L. DaboU. A num- 

 ber of these pilot-schooners, of which this half-model 

 is typical, were built for southern ports after the 

 Civil War. Noank had a reputation for building fast 

 vessels and, besides the sloop and schooner smacks for 

 which the town was famous, built many yachts, 

 schooner packets, and pilot schooners. The models 

 used for yachts and pilot schooners had a strong re- 

 semblance, although when the Glyn was launched, 

 Noank-built yachts were usually shoal centerboard- 

 ers. In the 1880"s the local trademark in schooner de- 

 sign was a V-shaped stern with unusually heavy 

 quarters and hea\ily flared sections at the bow, fea- 

 tures that mark the model of the Glyn. This schooner 

 was notably fast and was a very successful vessel in 

 her business. 



The half-model represents a clipper schooner ha\- 

 ing moderate and graceful sheer, a straight keel with 

 some drag, well rounded forefoot, a flaring and mark- 

 edly raked stem rabbet, upright post, and a short 

 counter ending in a strongly raked and flat V-shaped 

 transom. The entrance is sharp and rather hollow, 

 and the run is long, flat, and fine. The midsection 

 shows a sharply rising floor, with hollow at the gar- 

 board, a rather firm bilge, and little tumble-home in 

 the topside. The bow sections flare strongly: the 

 dead rise in the floors in the sections in the run is 

 parallel, or of "constant deadrise," a feature found 

 in the models not only of Daboll but also of Lawlor 

 and other noted American designers. 



Mounted with a "long head, billet, trails, ciUwater, 

 keel, post, bulwarks, and rudder. 



The model scales 79 feet 8 inches moulded lensjth at 



rail, 69 feet 6 inches moulded waterline length, 19 

 feet 8 inches moulded beam, 8 feet 8 inches moulded 

 depth to deck at side, and is for a vessel drawing about 

 8 feet 3 inches in sailing trim. Scale of the model is 

 ]i inch to the foot.

PILOT-BOAT SLOOP, 1898 

 Builder's Half-Model, usnm 311520 



A pilot-boat sloop was built from this half-model 

 by "Bat" Fogarty in 1898 at Bradenton, Florida, for 

 the pilots at Bay Rest, Florida. The model was in- 

 tended for a swift-sailing sloop, and the form resembles 

 that of sloop yachts of the period 1860-85. 



The half-model represents a yacht like centerboard 

 sloop of moderate sheer, wide and shoal, having a 

 keel-rabbet strais;ht forward btit sweeping up aft in 

 a fair curve to the round fantail stern. A skeg is 

 shown with an upright post well inboard the extreme 

 stern. The bow rabbet rakes, and there was probably 

 a long head; the entrance is long and sharp; and the 

 nm long and fine. The midsection shows a rising 

 floor, an easy turn of bilge, and a rather upright top- 

 side. The greatest beam is about at midlength. 



The sloop measured 35 feet 7 inches moulded length 

 at deck, 11 feet 10 inches moulded beam, and about 

 4 feet moulded depth. Scale of model is 1 inch to 

 the foot.

YACHT and PILOT SCHOONER, 1846 

 Builder's Half-Model, usnm 76040 



Coquette 



The noted Boston schooner yacht and pilot schooner 

 Coquette was built on the lines of this model at Boston, 

 Massachusetts, in 1846. She was designed ijy Lewis 

 Winde, a Swedish naval architect who settled at 

 Boston and was a member of the shipbuilding firm of 

 Winde and Clinkard, which built many fast schooners, 

 yachts, pilot boats, and coasters. This model was 

 made from plans by Dennison J. Lawlor, who is said 

 to have been employed in the Winde and Clinkard 

 yard as a young man, and is probably accurate as 

 to form, though in error as to head and other details. 



The Coquette was a very fast sailer and won wide 

 attention by beating the big New York centerboard 

 sloop yacht Maria in a match race to windward. 

 The Coquette was later sold to the Boston pilots and 

 was long a favorite boat with them; the pilots have
