Chester Folding Anchor. 



The Most Simple, Complete and Compaet 

 Anchor for Small Craft ever invented. 



Experiments have shown 

 that it is much su]^erior in 

 molding power to the ordi- 

 fnai;y Anchor of the same 

 weight, but its great advan- 

 tage consists in its compact- 

 ness and the small space 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 poinf, giving the maximum hold- 

 ing pov.-er. On the shank is a ring which sHdes 

 down over tho points of/the arms, to hold 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 

 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 in this position is a second hole, 

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

 the ring down upon the arms, which are thus held 

 securely open. 



Orders and communications regarding it should 

 be addressed to

CANOE 



THE FoBEST AKD Stbeam began a year ago the 

 publication of a series of papers on canoe con- 

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

 C. C, widely loDown as an expert on canoe design 

 and building. These papers, having appeared 

 through tho year in our columns, have since been 

 rewritten, and mth numerous additions are now 

 published in a handsome volume under the title of 

 "Canoe and Boat Building for Amateurs." IVIr. 

 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 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, Avith 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 plaiij> 

 instructions in designing as will enable the beginner 

 to select intelligently the proper craft for bis 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^ 

 roUowing the chapters on designing, 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 

 them, while the method of proportioning the saiS 

 to the boat is clearlv 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, wliiler 

 a chapter is devoted to canvas canoes. 



The subject of boat building is fuUy 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 build. Each, of the numerous 

 technical terms belonging to the subject is defined 

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

 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 paddling, sailing, cruising 



FOR 



and racing, with their sail plans, rowing saiUng 

 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 

 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 httle 

 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 bsat with the same excellent qualities. The boats 

 and canoes illustrated are in ail cases among the- 

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

 lish, Scotch and American craft, and are all drawn
