Chester Folding Anchor. 



The Moat Simple, Complete and Compact 

 Anchor for Small Craft ever Invented. 



Experiments have shown 

 that It is much superior in 

 1 holding power to the ordi- 

 'nary Anchor of the same 

 weight, but its great advan- 

 tage consists in its compact- 

 ness and the small space it 

 occupies wheil 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 deaderatum 

 being especially 

 adapted to the 

 wants of Casio^, 

 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 point giving the maximum hold- 

 mg power. On the shank is a ring which slides 

 down over the points of' the arnts, to hold them in 

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



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

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

 latter 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 m this position is a second hole, 

 m which the locking pfii is inserted, so as to hold 

 the ring down upon the arms, which are thus held 

 securely open.

CANOE 



THE Forest amj 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. 0., widely known 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 now 

 published 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 difBculties attending 

 a learner, taken a prominent place among canoo 

 builders, due both to the model and workmanship 

 of his canoes. ReaUzing fuUy the difficulty of ex- 

 ainmg to a novice an art in itself far from easy. 



AND 



and with which he is entirely unf amihar, the book 

 begins with a description of the various classes of 

 canoes in general use. -vnth their main features and 

 dimensions, and definitions of the terms used in con- 

 nection with them. Numerous examples of canoes 

 are given, and in connection with them, such plain 

 instructions in designing as will enable the beginner 

 to select intelligently the proper craft for his pur-

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 desires^ 

 following the chapters on desigmng. the construc- 

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

 appliances 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 

 thera, while the methoa of proportioning the sails 

 to the boat is clearly explained, all the calculations

being worked out in detail. The many minor points 

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

 and camp ©utfit 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 ae 

 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 build. Each of the numerous 

 technical terms belonging to the subject is defined 

 clearly when it first occurs, 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

 rawings of canoes for paddling, sailing, cruising

and racing, with their sail plans, rowing sailing 

 boats, large canoe yawls, and various boats for 

 special purposes, such as gunning boats, yacht 

 boats, and the widely known sneakbox. 



The canoe yawl, a boat between a canoe and a 

 ^acht, is illustrated by examples of various craffe 

 from 17 to 90ft. 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 

 cruismg, 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 then- class, ttie list of canoes including Eng-
