YAWLS IN NOVA SCOTIA. 



alitor Formi and Stream.' 



If the Eflith, of Boston, was the first American-built vawl on the At- 

 lantic, in United States waetrs, and Coquette, imported from England 

 in 187$. the first of her riir in those waters. Nova Scotia was several 

 years ahead, as in IS?;!. Mr. S. A. White, of Halifax, had a yawl built 

 for him by Eben Moseley. of Dartmouth. She was called Nymphooa. 

 and her dimensions are: Length, foreaide of stern to aftside of 

 sternpost, 33ft.: breadth, Dfc. Bin.: depth, covering hoard to gar- 

 board slrake. 3it. Shi. She is a keel boat, raking stern, and light 

 counter; pole mainmast and miz/.enmast, standing bowsprit; end of 

 maiuboom plumb with rudder head. She carries stayfoi 

 sot on stay: mains;: . gaft topsail like Caprice, galTmizzeii and mi/./'. -i- 

 topsail. Shehnsa.iibiops.:! and spinnaker for light weather. In 1877

 and sul.seipientlv. in 1870, ern.s. ! i. Bay t'halenrs. encountering 

 heavy weather and had seas. She has a low trunk cabin, and a w.-ii 

 Sl'i. by lit, the latter found very unpleasant in blowing weather The 

 rig is very handy, barring the jib, wnich shares the fault of a sloop's 

 headsail iu that the hand has to go out to the bowsprit and to stow it- 

 She works well under mainsail ami foresail, and under mizzen and 

 jib. 



In 185$ air. W. Webb had a four-ton yawl. Swallow, which he worked 

 single-handed. 



In is; 7 air. S. A. White commissioned Eben Moseley to build him 

 another yawl. u. replace Nvmolnea. The new one, one of the fusiest 

 yachts of her size on Halifax Harbor, is called Kestrel, her dimensions 

 beins: Length, 81ft. ; breadth, loft. Bin. ; depth, -1ft. Her rig is exactly 

 similar to Nympho-a's. and both, boats would be improved for cruis- 

 iug by the substitution of housing topmast and reeling bowsprit for 

 the standing spars they at present sport. 



Mr. W. Wallace has a small eeiiioiboard vawl. Maraquita, very fast 

 and handy. She is rigged with single jib forward. 



A small yawl intended for use in all weather should have but a very 

 small cockpit— this, at l.a.si. in open waters. F. C. KcMtorriiAST. 



CUTTERS. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



Seeing an article iu oue of your contemporaries, "A Safe haven for 

 the. Madge," I would like to say a tew words on the subject : 



The desire of Mr. Coats to present his " wee cutter." the Madge. 

 as a present to the N. Y. Y. club, should meet with ail praise from 

 fair-minded people, but this knight of the pen will not allow this gen- 

 tleman to give away his own property where he sees fit, but sug- 

 gests that he give it to S. Y. Y. ( '. 



The former victims. Schemer, Wave, Shadow, besides a dozen other 

 boats, are being lifted out expressly to race, the Madge, we are 

 told. I humbly sugg'esf to their patriotic owners to fit them out as 

 freight boats on the canals, and instead of wasting time and money 

 on a useless, unsafe style of boat, to build good cutters; boats that are 

 safe, fast, sightly and comfortable, 



I know iL is hard to admit that the much lauded sloop can only sail 

 fast on paper, but nevertheless tin's is a proved fact. 



The writer goes on to say: " Some extravagant stories have been 

 told of a vast number of cutters building," and immediately after gives 

 the. details of ten which he admits are in the carpenters' hands at 



pr 



,ny does this beamy, flat man expect to be built in one ye 



ing circles would have accep

purposes, stdl he admits the bu

A LENGTH RULE CHEATER. 



./ and Stream: 



of a '-length evader" which had a very successful career in racing 

 with much smaller yachts than herself. From her dimensions you 

 will see that though Soft, on load line, owing to a '*ram stem," sno 

 raced with others 2ft jin. shorter. Any one acquainted with boat 

 sailing will appr.-ci.u -tl..- hie ..ids in her favor, for it was just like 

 suiting a 85ft wh I. a -i-'f'i. Tin. X -w York jih-and-mainsail boat on even 

 terms. The unfairness evidently was in tho failure of mean length to 

 measure size with sufficient accuracy, as you have often pointed out:

This boat was built and sailed many years ago, on a "moan length" 

 measurement, and was the winner of many- races. The rudder was a 

 huge affair, and made elastic by steel si raps on eaoh side. She carried 

 an extra tiller, soma tivt or six tci long. This was shipped in a 

 Calm or very light wind, and on such occasions three or four of the 

 crew would work that tiller hack and forth, and she would go two or 

 three miles an hour dead to windward. M. T. 



THE CUTTER FLEET. 



HARDLY a week passes but. what it becomes our pleasure In an- 

 nouncea new eia:e- on thesineks. The fh-ot is now growimr at 

 such a pace that we arc warranted in niiiicipaf ing a very- fine display 

 of deep ships in the. n-ar fm ore. A u.-.v keel has just' been laid at 

 Toillon's. in Brooklyn, to the order of IHr. (iov Kortritrht. Cnnceni- 

 tag-hef the fterhld says: 



•The keel for Mr. Eqrti'ight'a new yacht has been got out bv 

 Messrs. 1'oilion Brothers, and 11 lookBM if it belonged toa long-legged 

 craft. The owner is doubtless a -heavy draft and lead iu the keel' 

 believer. If is said that Mr. Kort right made Die model of this boat 

 himself. If this is so he deserves groat credit, as it is very likely 

 looking. Mr. Kortright, it is safe to say. will take more pleasure with 

 this boat than the majority of tho owners of larger yachts, for the 

 reason that it is the result of his own ideas and work." 



Then there is another able little cruiser just started at Driscoll's 

 yard, Greeupoint. She is to the order of Mr. Edmund Warren, of the 

 Seawanhaka Corinthian Y. C. Mr. Warren lias had experience- iu 

 cutters, and knows just what he wants. That he is lik . 

 most serviceable ship in his new venture the dimensions indieale 

 This yacht was also modeled by her prospective owner, we believe, 

 and if fair and clean in her body, ought to give a (leal of sal i-i.-e-liou' 

 It is perhaps only a coincidence, yet it is a fact that those who ha.e 

 so far mastered naval design as to draft their own vessels, almost 

 without exception prefer the cutter. Mr. Warren's plans call for :i:il'i, 

 over all, SOft. load line. !Ht. beam and pit Sin. deep. A keel, of 

 course. Two tons of lead outside, t In ee more inside, cast to fit. Full 

 cutter rig. like |ny smart yacht ought to have. The .'M-tonner on 

 hues by \\ u,- ,n. of (ilasgow, lias bee:, r-iaile-i in Toronto; likewise a 

 deep-bodied ::-tonner with Hush deck. Wince as they may,' the old 

 school cannot stem the tide; the cutter boom is fairly upon us. 



MARINE GLUE. 



Editor Forest and Stmn,, ; 



I see by tho Fork<t and Sxasiii that D. J. Lawlor put together 

 "Uudiue's" mast with "best marine glue." Such marine clue as I have 

 seen is not lit for the purpose, has little adherence, softens with heal 

 and dries hard before any extent of surface could be covered with it. 

 1 gotmino from England, and by a paper which came with it I found 

 that there are a variety of kinds adopted, I supppose for different 

 purposes, and distinguished by nUmliors I to tl or t hereabouts. I have 

 been told that the hollow mast used bv Ira Smith on tho Silence. I 

 think came apart. On the other band, 'Willis, of Cow Haw tells me 

 that Blackburn built a boat for the Government with two thicknesses 

 of plank out together with marine glue and that an axe would not 

 Separate them cleanly, bid the wood tore apart. 



(spent a day in trying to find some one who made the article and 

 was finally referred to Zinsser, 11)7 William street, manufacturing 

 chemist. Zinsser says he has had ll>-> inquiries for it from all parts, 

 has tried to make it from receipts supplied, but he is profoundly 

 skeptical about the value of the receipts, and the practicability of 



making anything in this line (hat would he serviceable. At the sa 



time he is anxious to do it it possible, but has never seen the genuine 

 article. I do not know Lawlor. or 1 would write and ask him what par 

 ticular kind of glue he used, where it can be got. and how it answers. 

 It occuredto me that in view of the general interest in the matter, yon 

 might think well to investigate this. Man-.- will be glad if you do. as I 

 must put my new rnast in hand this week and "do not want to use 

 common glue. Hollow Stiok. 



If any of our readers can supply the needed information we will 

 be glad to publish. It seems as though some enterprising individual 

 might make agood living l>v starting a general store forj-achtiugsup- 

 plicsof all kinds. The demand is large and increasing.
