 cutters of deep draft in the past, it has been with a view to creating 

 a sharply defined issue, the results of the trial to serve as our lever 

 for prying the scales from the eyes of somnolent incompetence, so 

 the community might benefit accordingly. In response to ninit) in- 

 quiries, we will during winter offer designs for moderate draft, which 

 stiall embody '-cutter principles," andnot be despicable traps because 

 of their light drafth 



A NEW SINGLEHANDER. 



WE have had numerous inquiries asking for the publication of 

 plans for a small all round boat of about 20.fl. I eadiine. Our 

 intention to offer a design of our own .has been forestalled by the re- 

 ceipt of the plans for anew yacht to be built for Boston owners ibis 

 winter. These plans are so commencuible in their general aspect ami 

 so well considered in all details that we produce them as almost an 

 exact counterpart of our own ideas. They were executed bv Messrs. 

 Burgess of the Eastern Yacht Agency, and .ire entirety original wuh 

 them, being the outcome of their diversified experience and mature 

 study of the whole subject. The yacht promises to be a good sailer 

 on all points, safe, able, roomy, dry and buoyant, and serves as an 

 excellent example for an all round boat wherever there is live feet 

 of water. This yacht is intended to be the longest one man can work 

 with convenience as a yawl, and large enough to make a comfortable 

 craft for two when rigged as a cutter. Beam and displacement have 

 therefore been kept moderate. One chief feature is the absence of 

 any separate or plank keel, the outside iron ballast being wide across 

 the top and so moulded as to be part and parcel of the boat proper, 

 which prevents the twisling or wrenching off of the keel upon 

 grounding.
