TIME ALLOWANCE. 



ASSUMING that some definite conclusion has been reached 

 concerning a rule of measurement, the next step is to con- 

 struct a table of tho amount of time to be allowed by one yacht to 

 another under the provisions of the rule. In this we can only be 



guided by the teachings of practice. There : 

 out of the difficulty, no mathematical expr( 

 can be guided. In short, the times allowed o)

hich the measurement rule has been founded, and from itto de- 

 duce by ratios a table of sufficient range to cover all yachts likely 

 to enter for a race. 



certain, therefore, that the most equitable allowances will 

 be obtained by referring to a long aeries of sailing matches be- 

 yaehts differing as littlo as possible from each other in 

 type, because in such matches extraneous advantages due to 

 model or rig arc eliminated to tho greatest degree, and the speed 

 of one vessel over another, due only to differences of measure- 

 ment, stands out in bold relief the least affected by irrelevant in- 

 fluences. "With this in view, wo are justified in citing British 

 practice as a precedent, for in British waters racing has been de- 

 veloped with a finesse in detail and accuracy against which we 

 have littleto offer of a reliable and available sort in American ex- 

 perience. Our racing has beon as yet too desultory in its nature, 

 and records are very imperfect and too muoh influenced by local 

 coloring to be accepted as a standard from which to draw fair 

 comparisons, excepting, perhaps, among the smaller craft, whose 

 matches have been more frequent, and among boats of very simi- 

 lar model and outfit. Whatever mav be urged against the ton- 

 nage laws of the British Yacht Racing Association, no one has 

 over seen any grounds for questioning the accuracy and equity 

 of their time allowances, either abroad or at home ; nor do we 

 think they would vary from the best experience in America. As 

 something tangible to work from, they will serve our purpose as 

 well, and perhaps better, than other more empirical stand- 

 ards. 



The Y. R. A. scale of allowances is computed upon the principle 

 that the allowance of time given by a larger to a smaller vessel 

 should be directly proportionate to tho distance sailed, and in- 

 versely proportional to the size of the vessel— that is to say, if a 

 larger can allow a smaller vessel one minuie ou n particular 

 length of course, she can allow her two minutes on a course of 

 twice the length. Further, with regard to size, the assumption is 

 that if a vessel of fifty tons can allow a smaller one any given 

 time per ton of difference, a vessel of twice tho size, or one hun- 

 dred tons, can allow only half the time. 

 These two relations will be expressed by the formula : 



t— -L'i., in which t is the allowance of timo per ton in seconds ; h a 

 number whose value in the table has been taken as30, on the sup- 

 position that a vessel of 30 tons can allow one of 29 tons one 

 second per mile; I the length of the course In miles; and T 

 thetonnage of the vessel. 

 For a course of 20 mUes, the formula, for example, would

MEASUREMENT. 



Editor Forest and Stream :— 



In response to your inquiry about the position we should take 

 with relation to measurement of open boats, it seems to me that 

 we should folloiT the "English Corinthian Yacht t'luli" plan, 

 wliieh, as I understand it, is a measurement upon length only. In ( 

 fact, there can be no great harm in thlB, because, its yon say, 

 open race-boats, which are built so as to get the greatest amount 

 of speed out of them in smooth water, muBt always have con- 

 siderable beam, so that thei are essentially of one type. Length 1 

 [Measurement when applied to one type is not unfair, and 

 therefore no difficulty can arise in practice in applying it to open 1 

 boats, from which nothing but speed is expected or demanded. It 

 is impossible to use any other type of boats on many of our in- 

 land rivers, and when used in such places I am inclined to thinj 

 thai shirting ballast is a necessary evil. For Instino 

 Delaware River, opposite Philadelphia and above that point, 

 ihcre are so many bars and shoals that: open yachts With shifting 

 ballast , as I know from experience, are best for a day's sail on tho 

 .■Il as in many other placei— for example, at AlMny, 

 \. v.. ■ - Haverhill, Mass., the same must be true. W. 



uniform measurement rule based on length for this 

 particular type of yacht, and tho National Association can ho of f 

 beuerit to them in that respect, because a uniform iength 

 measurement does not yet exist, in this country. 



I consider a yacht intended for river navigation only, and en- 

 tirely open, or with the deck running a short distance 

 maat, nsin some respects safer with shifting ballast than with 

 ihat which is fixed. I can remember, in my own experince^J 

 when, through the stupidity of a negro and his trighf 

 S'liiall. 1 was overturned in an open yacht on an inland rlvei in 

 South Carolina. Had my ballast been stowed and seen rod 1 • 

 ..huii Id have gone to the bottom, but asit was shif tins,- 

 of sandbaga, etc.— the ballast went overboard, th y:i 

 and we were saved without even wetting ourselves to auy great 

 extent. It is not a year since a small open boat iuSc 

 .went down so quick, on account of fixed ballast, in a sudden 

 'squall, that two worthy young men were drowned, although bellM 

 reaohed the sput within fifteen minutes. 



1 ■, therefore, that while shifting ballast and great com-
