Chester Folding Anchor. 



The Most Simple, Complete and Compact 

 Anchor for Small Craft ever invented. 



Experiments have shown 

 that It is much superior in 

 ibolding power to the ordi- 

 'nary Anchor of the same 

 weight, but its great advan- 

 tage consists in its compact- 

 ness and the small spb,ce it 

 occupies when not in use, 

 as it takes up less than one- 

 fourth of the space of an 

 ordinary Anchor of the same 

 weight. It has only to be 

 seen to be appreciated. 

 It is invaluable for small 

 craft where eco- 

 nomy of space 

 is a desideratum 

 being especially 

 adapted to the 

 wants of Canoes, 

 Rowboats. Sail- 

 boats, Yachts, 

 Steam Launches 

 etc. 



The Anchor has a straight, stockless shank, to the 

 lower end of which are attached the four arms or 

 flukes; these arms have a flat inner surface extend- 

 ing nearly to the i>oint, giving the maximum hold- 

 ing power. On the shank is a ring which sUdes 

 down over the points of/ the ai-ms, to bold them in 

 position when folded, where it is retained by a pin. 



When it is desired to unfold the anchor, the pin is 

 removed, the ring is raised to clear the arms, and the 

 latt«r unfold and spread apart, dropping to the 

 position indicated in Fig. 1, the ring slides down 

 the shank until it brings up against the unfolded 

 arms, and at a point in the shank just above the top 

 of the ring when in this position is a second hole, 

 in which the locking pin is inserted, so as to hold 

 the rittg down upon the arms, which are thus held 

 securely open.

CANOE 



THE FOBEST AND 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. C, widely known as an expert on canoe design 

 and building. These papers, having appeared 

 through the year in our columns, have since been 

 rewritten, and with numerous additions are now 

 pubUshed 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 amateur, and having 

 after a long experience of the difficulties attending 

 a learner, taken a prominent place among canoe 

 builders, due both to the model and workmanship 

 of his canoes. Realizing fully the difficulty of ex- 

 aining to a novice an art in itsehE far from easy, 



AND 



and with which he is entirely unfamiUar, the book 

 begins with a description of the various classes of 

 eanoes in general use, with their main features and 

 dimensions, and definitions of the terms used in con- 

 nection with them. Numerous examples of eanoes 

 are given, and in coiuiection with them, such plain 

 instructions in designing as wlU enable the beginner 

 to select intelligently the proper craft for his pur- 



BOAT 



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

 nngs. 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 

 bmld one boat as descrited, but to teaoh him the 

 principles of designing and building in such a way 

 that he may construct such a craft as he desires, 

 r ollowing the chapters on designmg, the construc- 

 tion of a canoe is taken up iu detau, the tools and 

 appUances being first clearly described, as well as 

 the various materials, after which fellows 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 witti 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 measming 

 them, while the method of proportioning the sails 

 t^ the boat is clearly explained, aU 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 siibject of boat building is fully treated, a 

 rowboat of the usual construction being taken as 

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

 manner as to make cleai- the principles involved, 

 and their application to any form of boat, either 

 lapstreak or carvel build. Each of the numerous 

 technical t^rms belonging to tbe subject is defined 

 clearly when it first occm-s, and as the index is full 

 and complete, the book is in itself a glossary. 



In addition to the numerous diagrams in the 

 body of the work, twenty-four large plates are 

 printed on bond paper, containing the working 

 drawings of canoes for paddlmg, sailing, cruising 



FOB 



and racing, with their sail plans, rowing sailing 

 boats, large canoe yawls, and various boats for 

 special purposes, sucn as gunning boats, yacht 

 boats, and the widely known snealfbox. 



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 little 

 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 boat with the same excellent qualities. The boats 

 and canoes illustrated are in all cases among the 

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

 Ush, 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 manilla envelope and accompany 

 the book.
