CANOE 



THE Forest ajsd Stream began a year ago the 

 publication of a series of papers on canoe con- 

 struction, by Mr. W. P. Stephens, of the New York 

 C. O.. -widely kEOwn as an expert on canoe design 

 and building. These papers, having appeared 

 through the year in our columns, have since been 

 rewritten, ana with numerous additions are bow 

 puWished in a handsome volume under the title of 

 "Canoe and Boat Building for Amateurs." Mr 

 Stephens is peculiarly fitted for the preparation of 

 such a work, beginning as an amateiu-, and having 

 after a long experience of the difficulties attending 

 a learaer, taken a prominent place among canoe 

 buUders, due both to the model and workmanship 

 of his canoes. Reahzing fully the difficulty of ex- 

 amine to a novice an art in itself far from easy, 



AND 



and -with which he is entirely unfamiliar, the book 

 begins with a description of the various classes of 

 canoes in general use, -with their main features and 

 ditHensions, and definitions of the terms used in con- 

 nection -witli them . Numerous examples of canoes 

 are given, and in eonuection with them, such plain 

 instructions in designing as will enable the beginner 

 to select mtelUgently the proper craft for his pur- 



BOAT 



pose, and to plan her dimensions, details and fit- 

 tings. To this end designs of all classes of canoes 

 are given, with full dimensions and details. The 

 object has been not merely to enable the tyro to 

 build one boat as described, but to teach him the 

 principles of designing and building in such a way 

 that he may construct such a craft as he desire.", 

 f ollowing I he chapters on designing, the construc- 

 tion of a canoe is taken up in detail, the tools and 

 appUances being first clearly described, as well as 

 the various materials, after which follows the actual 

 work of building. Every operation is taken up in 

 order, from the selection of the keel to the varnish- 

 ing of the finished boat, and illustrated with numer- 

 ous diagrams. 



A chapter on sails describes all the varieties in 

 use by canoeists, down to the new Mohican settee, 

 with directions for making, rigging and measuring 

 them, while the method of proportioning the sails 

 to the boat is clearly explained, all the calculations 



BUILDING 



being worked out in detail. The many minor points 

 of a canoe, paddles, steering gears, rudders, aprons, 

 and camp outfit are also described at length,'while 

 a chapter is devoted to canvas canoes. 



The subject of boat building is fully treated, a 

 rowboat of the usual construction being taken as 

 an example, and described in all its parts in such a 

 manner as to make clear the principles involved, 

 and their application to any form of boat, either 

 lapstreak or carvel buDd. Each of the numerous 

 technical terms belonging to the subject is defined 

 clearly when it first occtxrs, and as the index is fuU 

 and complete, the book is in itself a glossary. 



In addition to the numerous diagra-ns in the 

 body of the work, twenty-four large plates ai'e 

 printed on bond paper, containing the working 

 drawings of canoes for paddling, sailing, cruising 



FOR 



and racing, with their sail pla.ns, rowing sailing 

 boats, large canoe yawLs, and various boats for 

 special purposes, sucti a.s gunning boats, yacht 

 boats, and the widely known sneakbox. 



The canoe yawl, a boat between a canoe and a 

 yacht, is illustrated by examples of various craft 

 from 17 to 20ft. long, and suitable for a crew of two 

 or three on a cruise. This class of boat, while Uttle 

 known among us as yet, is admirably fitted for 

 cruising, and will meet the wants of many who 

 object to a canoe as being too small, and yet desire 

 a beat with the same excellent qualities. The boats 

 and canoes illustrated are in all cases ai^iong the 

 best of their class, the list of canoes including Eng- 

 lish, Scotch and American craft, and are all drawn

to scale, so as to be available as working drawings. 

 The plates, for convenience in using, are placed 

 loose in a tough manlUa envelope and accompany 

 the book.
