ICE YACHTING. 



In response to the request of numerous read- 

 ers, we republish from our issue of Jan. 27 

 1876, the cut of the ioe yacht Haze, belonging to 

 Aaron Innis, Esq., of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., and 

 the following description of the dimensions and 

 mode of building an ice yacht of about the size 

 of the Haze, which will give an intelligible idea 

 of their construction : 



The body, or boat proper, is made up of three 

 principal parts— the keel or centre timber, and 

 two side timbers. The keel is 2 1 feet 6 inches 

 long, 3 inches wide and 9 inches deep. The two 



*er in the centre, and 2% inches at the ends. It 

 is fastened aft of the mast by means of an eye 

 and a staple. 



The jib-boom is fifteen feet 3 inches long, 2>£ 

 inches in diameter at the centre, and 2 inches at 

 the ends, and is fastened to the forward end of 

 the bowsprit. 



The gaff is 8 feet 9 inches long, 2 inches in di- 

 ameter, and has the jaws made to an angle, so 

 that they set square across the mast. 



The sails are two in number, the mainsail and 

 the jib. The mainsail has the following dimen- 

 sions : hoist, 14 feet. 6 inches j fool, 28 feet ; 

 head, 8 feet ; leach, 28 feet ; the lift of the main- 

 sail at the end of the boom is 1 foot 6 inches. 



The dimensions of the jib are as follows: 

 hoist, 15 feet; foot, li}4 feet; leach, 22 feet; 

 and it has a lift of one foot. The rigging is of 

 half inch round iron and wire rope. 



How to Dbaw the Watek Limes. — In origi- 

 nal designs, the midship section is first deter- 

 mined, then the width of the proposed water 

 line is marked on the midship section, and a bat- 

 ten is bent so as to touch the grooves or rabbet 

 in stem and stern deadwood, and take in its 

 curve the point marked in the midship section. 

 The outline of the deck is shaped in a similar 

 manner, and these lines are nest transferred 

 from the half -breadth to their respective places 

 on the body plan. Curved lines— to represent 

 the outlines of the cross-section— are drawn so 



race. The winner or winners of a junior race 

 may, at the option of the executive committee, 

 be permitted to contest in a senior race, provid- 

 ing application be made immediately after the 

 winning of a junior race. The races each day 

 shall begin at 3 p. m. 



First Day.— 1, Junior four-oar ; 2, Junior 

 double-Bcull ; 3, Six-oared barges ; i, Junior 

 single-scull ; 5, Tub race, fifty yards. 



Second Day. — 1, Senior four-oar ; 2, Junior 

 double-scull ; 3 t Gig race ; 4, Senior single-scull ; 

 5, Review by the'Commodore ; C, Swimming race, 

 one hundred yards. 



Length of course, one mile straightaway and 

 return, for all races. 



Time, Wednesday and Thursdav, June 19 and 

 20, 187S. 



Resolved, That a piece of plate, to be denomi- 

 nated the " Association Challenge Medal,'' be 

 awarded to the winner of the senior four-oared 

 and senior single-scull races, to be won at least 

 three consecutive times before becoming the 

 property of the winners ; 



Resolved, That a special medal be awarded to 

 the winners in each class of the junior races at 

 the regatta in 1878, to become the property of 

 the individuals to whom granted. 



Considerable competition arose between Madi- 

 ison, Wis., and Peoria, 111., each offering induce- 

 ments for the holding of the regatta. It was 

 finally decided in favor of Peoria. A committee 

 of three was chosen to act with the Peoria Club 

 in the investment of $600 guaranteed by the 

 Peoria Boat Club for prizes. Eoveb. 



ICE-YACHT « HAZE.' : 



side timbers are each 1% inches wide and 4 

 inches deep. They are joined at the stern to a 

 semi-circle »f 15 inches radius, and at the mast 

 by means of a curved plank 12 inches wide, 3 

 inches deep, and 7 feet 4 inches long, which is 

 bolted to them. 



The runner plank to which the two forward 

 runners are bolted, and which is bolted to the 

 under side of the side timbers and running un- 

 der the keel, which projects about an inch below 

 the side timbers. 



The runners are three in number, two forward 

 and one aft (called the rudder), are made of 2- 

 inch plank, and have steel shoes bolted to them 

 by means of bolts tapped into JJie shoe and run- 

 ning through the wood, having their heads 

 countersunk therein so as to be fiuBh. The 

 shoes are fastened by 5f inch bolts tapped into 

 them ; they are ground on the running edge to 

 an angle of 90 deg., and are 1% inch deep. 



The after-runner, or rudder, is smaller than 

 the forward ones, and is fastened to a rudder- 

 post, which passes through the keel and termi- 

 nates in a tiller, 2 feet 8 inohes long, by which 

 the boat is steered. 



The body is planked on the under side with 

 inch boards lor a distance of about 7 feet from 

 the after-end. 



The mast is 20 feet high, 5 inches in diameter 

 at the foot and Z% incheB at the top, and has a 

 topmast fixed into the top 3 feet long, 2 inches 

 in diameter at the large and 1 inch at the email 

 end. 



The bowsprit is 16 feet long. 6 inches deep at 

 the widest part, and 3% at the ends, and is 8 

 inches wide on the bottom, beveling to 2 inoh©B 

 on the top . It is fastened to the keel by means 

 of an iron band three-quarters of an inch wide, 

 and also by a holt running through both. 



The boom e 29 feat long, 4>i inohes in diame- 



as to connect the determined points for deck 

 and load water line with the rabbet of the keel. 

 Intermediate water lines are also drawn on the 

 body plan, and the buttock lines drawn and 

 transferred from the body to the sheer plan. 

 Draw the buttock curves on the Bheer plan true 

 curves, and all imperfections shown must be rec" 

 tailed as described in the paper on drawing.

 taken a livelier interest, or has done so much for 

 the aquatic sports of Charleston, as the Commo-

 the Association. His successor, Mr. Geo. D. 

 Bryan, is a gentleman who has also done a great 

 deal for the Association, and he ia certain to 

 -keep it up to the present prosperous co ndition 

 to which Commodore T. ha3 raised it. The ap-

 which came off at Lake George, N. Y., Jan. 1. 

 rOne year ago the day was celebrated by a trot 

 ting race on the ioe. This year, over the same 

 course, six stalwart oarsmen pulled their boats, 

 taken for the nonce from their winter quarters.

 in 8m. 453 .

 monico's, Jan 16, for the benefit of the Columbia

 man eight-oared race of three miles.
