A New Linton Hope Yacht. 



The Racine Yacht and Boat Works have now on the stocks a new 

 racing craft from a recent design by Linton Hope, to be 18ft. 1 w I . 

 30ft. over all and 7ft. 8in. beam. The hull will be of double-skin 

 mahogany and will weigh not over 6001bs. The shoal racing craft of 

 the Sorceress type is growing rapidly in numbers among the racing 

 yachtsmen on the smaller Western lakes, and is displacing the older 

 type of centerboard skimming-dish and sandbag racer. 



Edmond Redmond, a Rochester yachtsman, has obtained a patent 

 on a device consisting of a long tube running out at right angles to 

 the side of a vessel and held by guy lines, the outboard end of the tube 

 being fitted with a tank for water, and the inboard end being con- 

 nected with a pump, suitable valves being arranged so that the tank 

 may be quickly emptied after being filled by the pump. It is proposed 

 to rig the tube out on the windward Eide and pump the tank full of 

 water, thus, by means of the longer lever and the weight of the tank 

 of water, obtaining stability sufficient to dispense with lead ballast.

 order for a cutter to carry 20,000sq. ft. of sail, to be built by Hender- 

 sons, to challenge for the Cup.
