KEEP CLEAR OF THE MAIN SHEET. 



Editor Forest and Sirpam: 



An unfortunately fatal accident occurred in San Francisco Bay re- 

 cently which illustrates the danger oi people standing in the way of 

 the main sheet with a yacht dead before the wind. The yacht 

 '.■'■ a nor. on the occasion of the Pacific Yacht Club cruise to Mare 

 Island, was racing with two other large schooners, and running dead 

 baiure a very strong breeze. The helmsman several times warned 

 those in the cockpit that there was danger or jibing, and finally the 

 la 1 ies were sent below out of the way. The boom lifted several times, 

 and those on the deck came into the cockpit. Finally there were un- 

 mistakable signs of a jibe, and as the sheet slackened, one of the 

 guests, a young lawyer named Plaisance, attempted to lift the slack 

 of the sheet, stepping out of the cockpit to the lee side of the deck 

 for the purpose. As the boom came over, the bight of the sheet 

 caught the unfortunate man around the base of his body, hurling 

 him headlong across the deck. Holding out his hands to protect him- 

 sdf, both wrists were broken. His head struck the corner of the 

 brass-hound quarter bitt, so that the skull was fractured. The iron 

 pin through the bitt tore a hole in his throat at the same time. The 

 yacht was some three miles from Mare Island, and on reaching there, 

 surgeons came from the Navy Yard, but pronounced the case hope 

 less. The injured man was taken to the V. S. Marine Hospital, on 

 the bland, but died the same night. S. 



[In addition to the fatal accident detailed by our correspondent, 

 we may add, as a warning, the unfortunate affair aboard the Volante 

 in the LarchmontY. 0. matches, July 4, by which Mr. Jesse Young 

 had liis leg broken "like a pipe stem" by fouling the mainsheet dur- 

 Ingajibe. Men at the wheel should in all cases when sailing before 

 the wind insist upon having the quarter clear for an unexpected 



:!'" .' hieh ai.ij ha .". ;■ j :a a ■ i i ot sr:..-«;vi--j ay an a;-;tra lift in a 



sea. a puff or sudden shift. Tho best plan is to order a hand or two 

 in the waist to brace the boom by their weights and give warning of 

 an impending jioo. In boats with cabin houses they should stand on 

 the house, or tuey may themselves get hippad. Those in the cockpit 

 should have an eye to the sweep of the sheet, last it catch a turn- 

 about their heads. A "North River" jibe, letting the boom come 

 over all standing, is at ail times to be discouraged. The sheet 

 should be gradually got in and then rapidly paid out in anything but 

 light weather.J 



YACHTING ON THE LAKES. 



FJUor Forest o,)d Stream! 

 The boom which Forest and Stream has started in favor of outside 

 ia a. spread u> the lakes, and not only have keel yachts come 

 ■ '•.gain, but oven our centerboarders on the Bay of Quinte, 

 which our shoal water renders necessary, have taken to "the prevail- 

 i au; fashion. The Grade, one of our twelve-tenners, has added a lead 

 shoe of 1.500 pounds, and the Emma, another of our fast ones, has 

 had affixed to L er bottom an iron shoe of 2,000 pounds. At Kingston. 

 a as iv keel craft of about twelve tons was recently launched. She 

 woschristeni , ieorge > Frederick, and is the product of a local 



artist, so I do not anticipate that she will show much speed. The 

 i alrt,.- i tit' -r which Watson designed for Messrs. Qoodenham and 

 Luys, of Toronto, and which was built there by Melancthon Simpson, 

 was launched a few clays ago, and was named Eileen. She has been 

 represented to me as being very handsome, and likely to prove fast. 

 Her principal dimensions are: 'Length over all, ISlt. : 'load water line, 

 55ft.; breadth of beam, lift. Sin. ; draught of water aft, 8ft. Sin : 

 lead keel. 2S tons: flush decked, with headroom of 6ft. 2in. Spars- 

 mast, deck to hounds. SCft. ; main boom, 45ft. ; bowsprit, outboard, 

 95ft.; t .pmast, 33ft.; full cutter rig. She will probably make her 

 Href appearance in the races of the Royal Canadian Yacht. Club. 

 The well-known sloop Cygnet, of Buffalo, has been purchased by 

 gentlemen in Toronto, adding a fast boat to tho Canadian fleet. 



Local yachting has not been very brisk. Tho Katie Grav. partially 



rebuilt, seems to have recovered her speed, as is shown by some 



ife has had with the Gracie. She bids fair to be at- or about 



the top of the tree in her elass this season. Commodore R. J. Bell, of

DORCHESTER YACHT CLUB. JULY 3.— The Dorchester Y. C. 

 sailed its sixty -fifth match off Nahant, Oulj 3. Open to all. Course 

 for first and second class, twenty miles; for third elass, ten miles. 

 Wind fresh from west, but fell during the race, many yachts 

 giving up, only sixteen being timed out of twenty-four starters'. First 

 class, over 40ft. : second class, 28 to 40ft. ; third class, under 28ft. 

 Two cash prizes in each class. Down to the Half Rock. Hesperled 

 with a free sheet. Maggie then spun bv her and worked out ahead 

 of the whole lot with great ease, turning the Whistler mark with a 

 long lead, after tedious work making the most of catspaws. 



The cutter proved herself an extraot'dinavv light-weather Aver, 

 quite as good or even better than with plenty of the needful. Hes- 

 per, Anna. Viking, Hera, and many others gave up, the finish being 

 accomplished as under, Maggie scoring her maiden victorv in Amer- 

 ican waters, and Lillie being the onlv second-class keel to complete 

 the course. Commodore PeaBo'dy's steam vacht served as judges'

YACHT AND BOAT SAILING.— We have received the third 

 edition, revised and enlarged, of this popular standard work, by

 fills the expectations formed, and that the additional plates are ex- 

 cellent in execution, while a great deal of detail has also been added 

 to the text. 



PERI.— Mr. J. G. Cassatt sold his sloop Peri, through Manning's 

 Agency, to F. P. Sands, of Newport, She was built in 1880 by Alonzo
