States was to Long Island Sound in 1948. Since then the American fleet 

 has grown to about sixty, located principally on the Great Lakes; Lake 

 Pontchartrain, New Orleans; and San Francisco Bay. Others are scat- 

 tered. 



In 1958 the North American Knarr Association was organized. WiUiam 

 H. Devonshire is Secretary-Treasurer (48 Mt. Hope Ave., Rochester 20, 

 N.Y. ). Boats are obtainable through E. Lund-Baltzersen (Lokkevein 11, 

 Oslo, Norway). The builders are all in Norway. While the Knarr is pri- 

 marily a racing boat, it has a cabin with limited cruising accommoda- 

 tions. Price in Norway is about $3800.

KNICKERBOCKER 



This is a new Sparkman and Stephens design of a 26-foot fiber-glass keel 

 sloop primarily for racing but with a cabin having two berths and a "head." 

 The American Boatbuilding Company (Warwick, R.I.) at the time of writ- 

 ing is completing the first eighteen boats in this class. A rapid class growth 

 on the East Coast is expected by the designers, particularly on Long Island 

 Sound. It is believed that "her generous sized cockpit and below deck ac- 

 commodations combine to make this an ideal one-design class for day 

 sailing and over-night races." Price is now $6950 plus sails.
