THE YAWL WINDWARD. 
HATEWER may be urged against the yawl rig on the score of 
. peed, it is beyond question the most convenient rig that can 
be given to asmall boat. The sail plan in ForEsT AND STREAM of last 
weelx shows the rig of the little yawl Windward, designed and built by 
Ws P. Stephens of West Brighton, Staten Island. She has been tried 
thioroughly in light and heavy weather, and handles well under full 
_, sail as shown, under jib and mizzen, and under mainsail only, requir- 
ing with the latter, in very strong winds, a little of the jib to keep her 
on, aut at other times having an easy weather helm under any shift 
of sails,

Table of scantling: Stem and stern sided 3in.; keel amidships, sided 
problem in all yachts how to arrange the available 
space to the best advantage, and the difficulty increases rapidly as 
the size of the yacht \lecreases. In comparing the relative accom- 
modations of yachts, it is often forgotten that there is a unit of 
measurement for all, large or small, by which they must be gauged; 
and this unit is the height of aman, or say 6ft., as the least head 
room in which the average man can move in comfort. This much at 
least must be had in a yacht of any size, and more, while desirable, is 
not indispensable. Similarly, this length, or a little more, is neces- 
sary for berths and lockers for sleeping, and a like size for breadth, 
an excess in any one direction being of little value, unless accom- 
panied with reasonable dimensions in the other two. 
For this reason the keel boat of moderate or even extreme pro- 
portions permits great advantages over the ordinary shoal type, 
whether large or small, as t .king boats of the same internal capacity 
in cubic feet, the former offers one clear space from stem to stern, 
with a fair proportion of height and breadth, offering every possi- 
bility to the designer, while the space in the latter is largely taken 
up by the wings, where it is of little use, leaving a low and confined 
rat-hole for galley and forecastle, and a similar large and compara- 
tively useless space aft, under and about the cockpit; and while 
headroom may be had in the cabin, thanks to a barn-like structure 
on deck, the space under it is sacrified to that ever-present, always 
in the way, centerboard. Panel it over, veneer it, put leaves to it and 
eallit atable, put mirrors on the side and call it a bulkhead, itis 
always there, making two small rooms of a single large one, parting 
the best of friends, separating each from his vis-a-vis at dinner, tak- 
ing the space that would, without it, allow gangways, staterooms 
and closets, and most of all, a constant source of weakness in an 
otherwise strongly built boat. Of course with the diminutive propor- 
tions of the little craft, whose interior arrangements are shown 
above, it is impossible to obtain the comfort of a large yacht, but an 
effort has been made to secure fair accommodations for two in cruis- 
ing im the limited space at the disposal of the designer, and in com- 
paring with other types, only those of approximate capacity must 
be considered, 
The space forward of the combined hatch and skylight has a height 
of 4ft. 6in., allowing a man to sit down comfortably while cooking 
over the oil stove shown on shelf on. port side. _In the bows are two 
shelves for paints, boatswain’s stores, etc., just forward of the mast 
is the chain locker, abaft the mast is a large zine-lined box for ice. 
The body of the boat has a height varying from 4ft. 9in. to 5ft. Zin. 
under the low trunk, the sides of which at no point are over Jin. high, 
while its curved top takes away the clumsy look of the ordinary 
cabin trunk. The slide is made quite long, so that a man can stand 
on the floor in dressing, his head being just out of the cabin. The 
lockers on each side are nearly 7ft. long and 24in. wide for sleeping, 
the width being increased at night by pieces hinged to each, resting 
on the slides shown in the drawing, or if three are to be provided for, 
the entire space between the lockers may be covered over. making 
one wide bed, decreasing the standing room, but even then giving 
more headroom than any sloop of similar size, 
_ Ab the after end of each lockeris a large closet for stores, canned 
goods, clothes, ete., while additional stowage room is provided under
