Yacht Designing. 



The following letter is a fair example of many that we receive: 

 Editor Forest and Stream: 



Will you kindly spare enough of your time to answer the following 

 question? 



What book would you advise me to get to learn more about the de- 

 signing and building of yachts, say from to 5-raters? I have built 

 two p raters and am much fascinated with the work. 



I have Stephens's "Canoe and Boat Building," also an English book 

 by Neison, but I should like a book that will explain such things as 

 these: 



Why one boat is good "on the wind" aDd how she differs Cor her 

 lines differ) from one whose best point is "down the wind," etc. 



How to figure how deep a boat will set in the water, not by "rule b' 

 thumb," but by scientific calculation. 



A chapter on the relation of fine lines to stability and just how much 

 can be sacrificed, one for the other, to advantage. 



The advantages of big headsails over large mainsails (as in some of 

 Dyer's boats) and vice versa. 



Why a boat will be improved (.sometimes) by taking out a heavy 

 plate board and substituting a wooden board which must offer more 

 resistance in passing through the water. 



To be brief, the whys and wherefores of a great many such things 

 that I know are so, but do not know the reasons for. 



I trust that you will not consider these as fool questions and will 

 favor me with a reply. W. 



[We know of no book which will answer even a part of our corre- 

 spondent's questions, and will be very glad to learn that there is one, 

 no matter at what price. The standard works on naval architecture 

 and designing will not answer them; the best that they will do is to 

 put the student in the way to seek his own answers by experiment and 

 close observation. We have no expectation of being able to give final 

 and satisfactory answers to them in the articles on designing which 

 will shortly appear in the Forest and Stream, but we shall endeavor 

 to meet as fully as possible the requirements of the large class of 

 eager amateurs reprpsented by our correspondent.] 



Massachusetts Y. R. A. 



The following letter will be sent by Pres. L. M. Clark and Sec. A. T. 

 Bliss, of the Massachusetts Y. R. A., to all clubs eligible to membership 

 in the association: 



Gentlemen— The Yacht Racing Association of Massachusetts was 

 temporarily organized at a meeting held Oct. 24, 1895, from what was 

 formerly known as the Congress of Regatta Committees. A complete 

 set of by-laws, racing rules, etc., has been arranged and a permanent 

 organization will be formed, officers elected and dates assigned for 

 open races for the season of 1896 at the meeting to be called on March 

 19, 1890. 



Uniformity in classification, measurement, etc., in open races is of 

 vital importance, and the rules to be presented have been compiled 

 with considerable care and are simply the usual written and unwritten 

 rules which have governed our races in the past. 



The stimulating effect given to local yacht racing for the past two 

 seasons through the work of the congress of regatta committees 

 gives evidence of the benefits of concerted action among the clubs. 



Each club is to be represented by one delegate. The annual dues 

 are 85, payable in advance. Applications for membership must be 

 made in writing to the secretary of this Association and must be 

 signed by the commodore or secretary, and must contain a correct 

 list of the members and yachts of the club. 



In presenting this matter to your club it is hoped you will appreci- 

 ate the benefits of such an organization to the interests of yacht 

 racing and yacht building and co-operate by sending a delegate to this 

 Association. 



YACHTING NEWS NOTES. 



The Spauldine-St. Lawrence Co. are now at work on a fin-keel cruis- 

 ing yawl of 26ft. 6in. l.w.l., designed by C. E. Davis and C. J. Field, 

 and owned by the latter. She will have a trunk cabin and will draw 

 6ft. Her name will be Ethelwynn II. 



Thehistory of steam navigation in America is well told in the 

 volume "American Steam Vessels," by Samuel Ward Stanton, pub- 

 lished by Smith & Stanton, New York. The volume is made 

 up of well executed drawings by Mr. Stanton of steam craft 

 of all classes, several hundred in all, from the Clermont of 

 1807 down to the yacht Eleanor, the Sound steamers Peck and 

 Lowell, and the American liner St. Louis. Mr. Stanton ha« de- 

 voted much time to securing accurate portraits of the early and more 

 historic steamers, and has succeeded in making a most interesting 

 and valuable collection. Each plate is accompanied by a short history 

 of the vessel. The volume will have a permanent value as a reliable 

 record of many famous craft. 



The Orange Lake Ice Y. C. has elected the following officers: Com., 

 H. C. Higginson; Vice-Corn., Willett Kidd; Sec'y-Treas., A. N, Cham- 

 bers; Meas., C. A. Dixon. Com. Higginson appointed the following 

 regatta committee: Dr. Willett Kidd, Frank G. Wood, Charles A. 

 Dixon, Alonso Krom and B, B. Moore. Sailing began on Dec. 12, 

 several good races being sailed, 



Mr. Wm. Elsworth, owner of the yawl Mary, is still in the South 

 looking for news of the yacht. She left Beaufort with good weather 

 and an offshore breeze, but after passing Frying Pan Shoals a heavy 

 N.E. gale was encountered. The yacht was finally obliged to anchor 

 in a bad cross sea, which increased so that when at 9 P. M. on Dec. 1 

 the coasting schooner Nellie W. Howlett, Capt. Steelman, was sighted, 

 she was signaled with a gun, and her mate put off for the yacht in 

 the yawlboat. After getting his cousins, Wm. B. Elsworth and Philip 

 E. Van Buskirk, into the yawl, Mr. Elsworth declined to leave the 

 yacht, but was finally induced to do so, as the seas were threatening 

 to overwhelm her and crush in decks and cabin house. The schooner 

 was loaded with phosphate rock and bound for Norfolk. As the gale 

 increased she labored badly, the weather being very bad off Hatteras, 

 and she came in leaking. While his companions came North from 

 Norfolk, Mr. Elsworth returned to Carolina, but as yet has heard 

 nothing of the yacht. She was left with two anchors down, in 15 

 fathoms, about 27 miles off Georgetown, S. C. 



Mr. Parker H. Kemble, of the Corinthian Y. C, of Marblehead, has 

 designed a fin-keel cruising yawl which is now under construction by 

 William Acker, who has recently established a boat shop at East First 

 street, foot of E street, South Boston. The yacht will be 30ft. Gin. 

 over all, 20ft. 6in. l.w.l., 6ft. 3in. beam, 4ft. 6ln. draft and 570?q. ft. of 

 sail. There will be 4ft. 41n. headroom under a house 6ft. 6tn. long, 

 and the yacht will be fully fitted for single-hand cruising. The sails 

 will be made by Cousens & Pratt. 



The Journal of the American Society of Naval Engineers for 

 November contains a very thorough and interesting account of the 

 steam yacht Yosemite, by Chief Engineer Isherwood, IT. S. N. 



Lawley & Co. have begun work on the 30ft, yacht for Dr. Williams, 

 designed by Chesebrough, and are also busy with several naphtha 

 launches, one of them for Eugene Tompkins, and one, just finished, 

 for B. F. Dutton, who will use her on the Homosassa River, Fla. She 

 is 32ft. over all, with a cabin house. 



The Knockabout Association has adopted the following resolution: 

 "It is agreed that no Association knockabout boat shall enter or sail 

 in the class in any open race unless the race for said class shall be 

 governed by the rules of the Knockabout Association, and without 

 time allowance." 



The wedding of Capt. Chas. Barr and Miss Emily Smith took place 

 at Southampton on Dec. 9. 



Herbert F. Otis, of Boston, has ordered of Ambrose Martin, of East 

 Boston, a schooner of 79ft. over all, 65ft. l.w.l., 20ft. beam andlOft. 6in. 

 draft, to be named Hesperus. She will be of wood and intended 

 solely for cruising. 



According to report, Mr. Will Fife has an order for a racing cutter 

 similar to the very successful 40-rater Isolde, designed and built by 

 him last winter. 



Luella, schr., owned by L. A. Shaw, of Providence, and Daniel Lan- 

 ton, of Pawtucket, sailed from Boston on Nov. 28 on a cruise to Flor- 

 ida, and on Dec. 5 started across Nantucket Shoals. She was caught 

 in a gale and rode it out near Cross Rip Lightship, losing mainsail 

 and jib, breaking boom and wheel, before she reached Nantucket 

 Harbor. She will be laid up at Nantucket for the winter. 



Black Pearl, steam yacht, owned by the late Earl of Pembroke, and 

 recently purchased by George R. Sheldon, of Chicago, arrived at New 

 York on Dec. 8, after a rough voyage of thirty-one days. She left 

 Southampton on Nov. 7 with Capt. Bond in command, calling at St. 

 Michaels on Nov. 22, after passing through a heavy gale off Cape 

 Finisterre, in which her decks were swept and jib boom carried away. 

 On Dec. 6 the decks were swept by a sea which carried away the fore- 

 hatch and flooded the forecastle, the gig being swept away and a sea- 

 man thrown down and injured. Black Pearl was designed by Will 

 Fife, Jr., and built by him while he was manager of the Culzean works 

 for the Marquis of Ailsa in 1885. She is of 345 tons, 144ft. between 

 perpendiculars, 23ft. 2in. beam and 13ft. 2in. depth, with engines 19 and 

 36 by 24in. She is of composite build, with iron frames. She did ex 

 cellent service for nearly itn years under her late owner. Mr. Sheldon 

 will probably send her to Chicago. Capt. Eldridge, so long in com- 

 mand of Yampa, will he in command. 



The annual meeting of the Yacht Racing Union of Long Island 

 Sound will be held in Parlor F, Fifth Avenue Hotel, at 8 o'clock, on 

 Monday evening, 30tu inst, 



The annual meeting of the Douglaston Y. O. was held on Dec. 10, the 

 following officers being elected: Com., Charles A Gould, steam yacht 

 Nearea; Vice-Corn., Clay M. Green, steamer Viola; Rear-Corn., F. R. 

 Parsons, sip. Orescent; Sec'y., James B Hixon, Jr.; Treas,, George A. 

 Corry. Com. Gould and C. F. Robins will each build a 30-footer, and 

 another member will build a racing 15 footer, so the club will be well 

 represented in the Sound races next season. 



The.annual meeting of the Rochester Y. C. took place on Dec. 6, fol- 

 lowed by tha annual banquet. The following officers were elected: 

 Com., F. S. Todd; Vice-Corn., J. E. Burroughs; Fleet Captain, J. W. 

 Robbins; Sec'y, Thomas B Pritchard; Cor. Sec'y, F. S. Peer; Treas., 

 George H. Clark; Meas., W. H. Pillow, Jr.; Fleet Surgeon, Dr. J. W. 

 Herriman; Directors, J. F. LoOlaire. J. R. White, R K. D.-yer and A. 

 T. Hagen; Delegates to the L Y. R A., J. E. Burroughs, Thomas B. 

 Pritchard and F. W. Bickford. 



Saunders, the Bristol builder, has just completed a small fin-keel 

 schooner for the 8am ina Bay Fruit Co., of San Domingo, for use as a 

 dispatch boat between the company's plantation and the port of San 

 Lorenzo, fifteen miles distant. She is named San Lorenzo, and is 35ft. 

 over all, 28ft. l.w.l , 8ft. beam, and 4ft. 9in. draft, with a bulb-fin of 

 cast iron weighing S^OOlbs. The rig will be two leg o' mutton sails 

 and jib. The construction is particularly strong and designed to 

 stand in hard work and a hot climate. 



The annual meeting of the Pavonia Y. C was held on Dec. 11, the 

 following officers being elected: Com., David W.Kohn; Vice-Com , 

 James Johnston; Fleet Captain, Robert H. McFarland; Fleet Surgeon, 

 Dr. Louis Baumann; Treas., Benjamin H. McOlain; Fin. Sec'y, Wm. 

 F. Tobin; Cor. Sec'y, Wm. A. Miller; Meas., Asher P. Curtis. 



Boat Builders Wanted to plank and build throughout modern rac-

sinking ship is not of much import, but when the skippers leave, things 

 are probably going down. We had it last week from three of last 

 season's "skippers," and two lately racing men, that they intend to 

 build for 1896, and race in the "cruising canoe" class. It is the con- 

 glomeration of organic molecules which creates a world, and the 

 ' 'atoms" aforesaid may make a class and a world of sport.

New York C. C. 



The annual meeting of the New York C- C. was held on Dec. 12 at 

 the club houBe, Bensonhurst, President Coudert being in the chair. 

 The reports for the year showed a large membership list and a very 

 good financial condition, considering the heavy losses of several 

 previous years and the great expenses of the new station. Last 

 hpring the club leased a large plot of ground at Bensonhurst, with a 

 very roomy and comfortable dwelling house, which was refitted to 

 suit its uses. A small canoe house was built on the beach, and a long 

 pier with float and bridge. The cost of the pier and float was $1,200, 

 and many other expenses accompanied the furnishing of the house. 

 Through the season and even up to the present time members have 

 lived in the house, a very good table being provided at moderate 

 prices. A good deal of sailing and cruising has been done, and new 

 members added. The floating house, which is useless in the 

 present location, has been docked at Bay Ridge through the 

 season, and will be sold as soon as an opportunity offers; the club 

 having a five years' lease of the present premises, with the option of 

 purchasing. The task of the officers through the year has been try- 

 ing and difficult; last winter the club had no money to meet its old 

 obligations or to warrant new and heavy expenditures, and that so 

 much has been done is greatly to the credit of the president, Mr. L. L. 

 Coudert, and the chairman of the house committee, Mr. H. C. Ward. 

 The officers elected for 1896 are: President, C. Bowyer Vaux; Secre- 

 tary, John C. Mowbray; Purser, Woolsey Carmalt; Captain, H. C. 

 Ward; Mate, John E. Plummer; Trustees, Louis L. Coudert, Frank C. 

 Moore, L. J. Boury. 



On Dec. 14 a mess dinner was given at the club house, at which 

 forty members and guests were present. After dinner the question of 

 a "one design" 15-footer of cheap construction was discussed, and 

 steps were taken toward securing designs and estimates for such a 

 boat; the expectation being that at least a dozen will be built if the 

 cost can be made low enough. 



American and English Canoeing. 



It is a matter of regret that international canoe racing is no longer 

 possible between America and England, in consequence of the great 

 difference in the rules of the two nations. The Field discusses the 

 subject as follows; 



The leading canoe sailing authorities, both of England and of 

 America, have now settled the classifications and places of canoe sail- 

 ing for 1896, and we are again facing the fact that the classification 

 rules differ so widely between the two countries that international 

 canoe sailing competition is almost impossible, or at least extremely 

 unlikely to take place. A canoe constructed in England to the full 

 allowance of the racing class, that is, of 36in. beam, is not eligible 

 under the American Association rules; so also is the English cruising 

 class of 42in. beam barred; and yet, as the English rule requires a 

 rating of 0.3 (Lx S -s- 6000), the sail area of the English canoe is 

 limited to probably 180sq. ft. or less; whereas the Americans may 

 carry at present anything up to ISOsq.ft, (that is if the vote of the A. 

 C. A. executive committee is indorsed by the Association) no matter 

 what the waterline length may be, so long as it does not exceed IGft,, 

 the English allowance of sail for such length being only 112sq. ft. 



An English canoe, fitted with a bulb-liftable keel, where the bulb re- 

 mains below the boat's wooden keel when hauled up, is barred by the 

 American rule that "the centerboard when hauled up must not pro- 

 ject below the keel." 



On the other hand, the American canoe coming to England would, 

 unless her loadwaterline did not exceed 14ft., have to reduce her 

 sail area in compliance with, the 0.3 rating. She would be a very 

 small and touchy craft to sail on a windy day at Burnham-on-Crouch, 

 especially as she would probably have to meet some of the new class 

 of 42in. beam craft fitted with bulb-plate keels, and with 42m. slide 

 seats against hers of 30in., for it appears that another recommenda- 

 tion agreed to by the A. C. A. meeting is to limit the length of slide 

 seats to the width of the canoe. But, after all, there is of course still 

 the possibility of men in either country building specially for racing 

 in the other country, building fully up to all allowances; but this 

 means building and fitting for practically one race, with very scant 

 chance of test races or tuning up. 



The American Canoe Association camp meet for 1896 will be held 

 Aug. 14 to 28, and the old 1886 site in Grindstone Island on the St. Law- 

 rence is again to be the place of meeting and racing. Were it not 

 for the classification difficulties above mentioned, why should not 

 1896 be a repetition of 1886, and bring together on the old camp 

 ground, on the border between Canada and America, a large muster 

 of the old hands of America and of England and her colony? Would 

 the younger blood males clean sweep of all the prizes? We doubt it; 

 that is to say, if gymnastically handled revolving machines were 

 either barred entirely cr reasonably clouded, by being made to com- 

 pete, and at some disadvantage, with larger and more powerful, per- 

 uana more "tubby," canoes. 



Unfortunately, it is now only too clear that no practical line has 

 been taken in America for next year to arrest the downward course 

 and dwindle of canoe Bailing, proved and admitted, as it is, to be 

 caused by sailing having degenerated into "trick riding." Why has 

 no attempt been made in the United States even to test, by a vote, the 

 easily possible amendment of the classification rules, with the object 

 of encouraging a better type of sailing canoe? 



In England, at least, the way is now open, and the possibility for a 

 better type than the racing machine has been placed before cauoemen. 

 The revolving machine—in some places called a "racing canoe"— has 

 this past eeason, in open water sailing, covered herself ignominiously 

 with water and ridicule. But, if half the present forecasts should prove 

 true, this type has about finished its career; its flame may not be 

 quite extinguished, audit may yet make a flicker or two in 1896, but a 

 couple of miles of Burn ham salt water with wind against tide will 

 sooja snuff out that last flicker. The poetical fiction of rats leaving 



The British Canoe Association, at its annual meeting of the general 

 committee at, Liverpool on Nov. 29, decided to hold the annual meet 

 at Falmouth, from July 27 to Aug. 17. 



Walnut Hill Scores. 



Walnut Hill, Mass,, Dec. 7.— The regular weekly shoot of the Mas-

Pacific Slope Riflemen. 



San Francisco, Dec. 8. — To day ended the members' medal shoots 

 for the year in the Columbia and Germania Clubs, a summary of which 

 I shall soon send you. Two weeks from to-day the All Comers' con- 

 tests of the Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club will also be completed for 

 1895. Some of the medal hunters are neck and neck in the race. 



Am pleased to learn that the New York police are learning how to 

 shoot. One of Columbia Club's champions, Smith Carr, is an officer 

 on our force, and has recently been detailed to train the men in re- 

 volver practice.
