FOREST AND STREAM, 



[March 28, 1889. 



OTTAWA, March 18.— It's a big day outdoors— scarcely a breath 

 of air and a bright, warm sun. The hare patc hes are many at the

CHANGES IN THE A. C. A. RULES. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



In answer to Mr. Edwards's request for opinions upon proposed 

 amendments of racing rules in the A. C. A., I beg to submit one 

 or two views as follows; 



The hiking seat has never seemed to me quite afair thing. Yet 

 there is a certain reluctance in all progressive minds, to bar out 

 inventions which may lead to improvements. And there are some 

 members of the A. C. A., whose skill we are accustomed to con- 

 cede, and whose opinions we respect, who perhaps could not sail 

 without the hiking seat. Further, the risk of capsize attending 

 its use makes it an extremely doubtful advantage to any sailor. 

 Therefore, while I do not personally like it, yet I would recom- 

 mend that legislation upon this subject should be postponed 

 (rather than abandoned) until a more urgent protest is made 

 against it. 



In the centerboard question. I am decidedly of the opinion that 

 the top of hoard when housed should not.'rise more than 3in. above 

 the adjacent gunwales. This expression of the rule would allow 

 open canoes the same advantage as decked ones of equal depth. 



The standing rig question is an old acquaintance of mine. 

 Ever since that exciting and doubtful first race for the Trophy I 

 have objected, not to thestanding rig, but to a wardrobe of stand- 

 ing rigs. I believe the standing rig may be and often is a legitimate 

 and proper contrivance, which should not be forever barred. It 

 is clean and neat, aud when easily set and stowed is not so un- 

 safe. The celebrated Thousand Island skiffs use a standing rig. 

 But its form permits of reduction in area by dropping the sprit, 

 and the size of the boat permits of ready furling and unstepping. 

 Let us therefore allow any rig which can be reefed (or otherwise 

 reduced) and stowed and furied without danger afloat. 



All this is best clone without special legislation by making these 

 capabilities of the rig necessary and desirable in t he races. And 

 as I pointed out long ago, before general opinion was ripe for it. 

 perhaps, a one-rig rule does it all, and leaves inventive genius 

 untraovtueled. But my own rig idea was not properly explained 

 in your previous notice of it. I would allow a canoe all the sails 

 she would undertake to carry (either set or stowed) permanently, 

 i. e., in every race. Besides her main and niizen, which she will 

 make to reef, because she cannot carry two sets, she might carry 

 a storm mizen to use wit h the regular one set as a mainsail, and 

 a spinaker if desired for very light winds. A well appointed 

 canoe, as 1 know by experience, can stow these in habitual trim 

 just as easily as a yacht does. And this rig enables her to pre- 

 pare for any weather without going outside of her own stowage 

 resources. But any other rig which consti tutes a fair set of sails 

 and is always carried 1 complete would do. Such a rule as this, 

 putting all upon a fair "one man, one canoe, one rig" basis, with 

 races sailed in all weathers at the time posted, is all that is 

 wanted. R. W. Gibson. 



New York, March 2L 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



The agitation for the reform of the rules and practices of the 

 A. C. A. which control the development of the canoe, has passed 

 through all the preliminary stages, lead ing up to the practical 

 realization of the object sought for. The dangerous tendencies 

 of the three special racing appliances now almost universally 

 used, the standing rig, the hiking seat, aud the buzz-saw board, 

 placed fairly in the center of the canoe, have been proved con- 

 clusively, not only in argument, but by the fifteen canoes that 

 sailed in last year's trophy race, and tbe uatural, the invariable 

 result of the developement of a racing maching pure and simple, 

 the decay and death of racing has been brought to the serious 

 attention of all canoeists. When the agitation began, it took the 

 form of a demand that the cruisers should receive some en- 

 couragement and attention from the Association, then it became 

 a demand lor the protection of the canoe from desti notion hy tbe 

 machine, and now the agitation begun for the benefit of the 

 cruiser, is beiug carried on for the preservation of the racer. 

 Although it cannot be said that the hostility evinced when the 

 first proposals of reform were made, and the agitation was 

 begun, has been turned into a burning sense of the necessity for 

 action, the silence of the anti-progressionists, and the action of 

 the executive committee, may be taken to prove that opposition 

 has decayed into inertness, and lukevvarinncss developed into 

 conviction. That in short the necessity for reform is acknow- 

 b dged, and as a natural consequence the question now to he de- 

 cided is what form the reforming act ion should ta ke. The racing 

 men have created the problem, their future existence as canoe- 

 ists depends upon its solution, and they should solve it, and as a 

 non-racing man I am as ready that they should do this as Arte- 

 inuB Ward was to sacrifice all his wife's relations upon the altar 

 of his country. There are certain general principles concerned 

 in the matter upon which the opinion even of a non- racing man 

 may be of some interest, and with this hope I write. 



The canoe is of tbe feminine gender, and is therefore well nigh 

 unclassifiable, and is possessed of so many good qualities that 

 they cannot be described by either one word or one phrase, hut 

 her crowning virtue is her universality, and it, is this virtue that 

 is now endangered. The battle is between the canoe that can be 

 used under a score of different conditions and for as many differ- 

 ent purposes and the specialized sailing craft that can only be 

 used in racing. The three special characteristics of the machine 

 are the standing rig, the hiking seat and the buzz-saw hoard; but 

 although these specializing appliances can be classed together 

 very effectively for the sake of argument, they have practically 

 little connection with each other, and each of these lions in the 

 path of progress roars in a different key. 



The standing rig is an evil in itself, and it constitutes an evil 

 tendency, in so far as it discourages the development of lowering 

 rigs. It has also a tendency to discourage canoeists from becom- 

 ing riggers as well as sailors, and thus to lower the standard of 

 sramauship, which the craft should possess. Such a splendid 

 sample of the canoe as the Guenn, can carry a standing rig in a 

 race and be none the worse adapted for aU-round work thereby. 

 The use of a full racing rig does not of itself constitute a canoe a 

 racing machine, and it makes little difference to any person but, 

 the man who uses it, whether this racing rig is a standing or a 

 lowering one. The only valid objection to the use of the standing 

 rig in a meet race is that it is a special appliance, that it checks 

 the development of the lowering rig by giving effectiveness with- 

 out safety or convenience that it is the duty of the Association 

 to promote canoeing, and that therefore it should not encourage 

 any appliance which discourages true progress. 



The hiking scat on the other hand is not an evil iu itself, so far 

 as it has been made practical use of up to the present time, but 

 there can be no questiou that its tendencies are wholly for evil. 

 It is simply an addition to the beam of the canoe, and if carried 

 to its logical conclusion would convert the racing machine into 

 the most frightful abortion of a sailing craft that floats. 



The buzz-saw board is the last of the three great lions, and, 

 lea ving aside the fact that it does not make a canoe dangerous, it 

 is, in my opinion, the biggest, the ugliest, and the most generally 

 ferocious of them all. A canoe may he raced with a standing rig, 

 and a hiking deck seat, and still be, as far as her hull goes, a 

 canoe in the widest sense of the word, but the craft with her 

 cockpit filled up with a centerboard trunk can only be called a 



thirds of the good qualities of the canoe. It is impossible to stow 

 such a craft, to paddle her for any length of time with comfort, 

 to sleep in her, to carry two in her— aud the craft that has not 

 room for two on a moonlight night is a poor apology for a canoe — 

 or even to sail her, except when on her deck. Of course, when the 

 centerboard trunk is movable these defects to a certain extent 

 disappear, but a canoe without a c^n erboard is a poor cruising 

 affair, and at the best such an appliance is but a poor compromise 

 between servicoablcness and the racing mania. If it is necessary 

 that some restrictions should be put upon the stripping of racing 

 yachts and rules, meaning "neat, ship-shape and compact r tings 

 below," in order to prevent racing machines pure and simple irjm 

 being built, surely it is even more necessary by restrictions and 

 rules to prevent the cutting up of the interior of a canoe, when 

 this cutt ing up destroys many of the canoe's valuable qualities. 

 It is no detVnse of tbe misplaced board to plead that somemen do 

 not sleep in their canoes, or make use of them in any way which 

 the board interferes with. Some men, the majority of sailingmen, 

 never paddle when they can help it, A goodly number of them 

 never carry a paddle at all, but because this is so no one would 

 argue that the Association should not, as it does, discriminate 

 against the canoe that, cannot be paddled. Nor can it be argued, 

 with justice, that if the position of the centerboard were fixed 

 by an arbitrary rule, the development of the canoe would be 

 checked, and the problem with which the canoe designer bas to 

 deal would be, artificially complicated. The limitation of length 

 and beam, which all argue to be necessary, do artificially increase 

 the problem of the canoe designer, and that in a most arbitrary 

 manner, because there are natural reasons why a canoe 16ft. long 

 should be no wider than 30in. The limits of length and width 

 had to be fixed somewhere, and now that thoy are so fixed no one 

 wishes a change, for the type created.uuder tnese limits has been 

 found to be a good one. The position of the centerboard is, on the 

 other hand, a problem created by the very nature of the canoe, 

 and until the racing mania — which was produced artificially by 

 organizations— set in, it was fairly grappled witb by canoe de- 

 signers aud as fairly solved. 



That it is a much more difficult matter to deal with the center- 

 hoard than with either the standing rig or the hiking seat, is a 

 self-evident fact; but that it is impossible I am not disoosed to 

 admit. The simpler and the more purely natural a rule is, the 

 better it is; and iu the matter of the centerboard, the reasons for 

 action provide also the method to be adopted. A canoe to be gen- 

 erally serviceable should be so fitted as to enable her crew to lie 

 down at full length within her, and it is because the centerboard 

 is so placed in the modern racer that tins cannot be done that the 

 centerboard becomes a specializing fitting. If, therefore, the 

 Regatta Committee have to add to the existing regulations as to 

 centerboard a proviso that all canoes built after a certain date 

 were to he so fitted internally as to permit their ciew or owner to 

 lie down in them at full length, to the satisfaction of the meas- 

 urer, the natural problem caused by the character of the duties 

 required of a canoe would become the problem caused by the 

 legislation of the Associa tion. It is also, as the chairman of the 

 Regatta Committee suggests, as desirable to prevent the board 

 from projecting above the deck as to limit its drop to about 18in.: 

 but to take action against the length of the board and do nothing 

 toward fixing its position would be very like fanning away the 

 smoke aud leaving the fire to burn the house down. Such a rule 

 as 1 have suggested would also put an end to the cheese box cock- 

 pit, which may or may not become as serious an evil as the cen- 

 tral position of the board. 



It may be possible that the evil caused by fitting up the cockpit 

 With a centerboard, like that of match wood construction, or a 

 V-shaped midship section, is sufficiently harmful to cure itself, 

 but even if ttiis could be proved, and it cannot, it would not alter 

 the main issue. The question before the Association is whether 

 or no it is its duty to encourage the development of the canoe or 

 of a specialized racing machine, or clumsy cruising concern, and 

 the position of the centerboard is as much a point of this question 

 as the standing rig. 



The question of opportunism is, of course, as important an 

 element in this matter of the reform of the A. C. A. rules as in 

 any other re orm or movement, and it is the question of oppor- 

 tunism that Mr. Edwards has brought before canoeists in his 

 letter to the Forest and Stream. Not being a racing man, my 

 opinion as to whether action should be taken at once or not is of 

 little value, but it seems to me that there is involved In this 

 question of opportuneness another question of some importance, 

 to wit: How far behind the Western Canoe Association and the 

 Royal Canoe Club can the A. C. A. afford to lag in this matter of 

 reform? RetAW. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



In response to the invitation of Mr. Edwards, 1 have great 

 pleasure iu expressing the strong opinion I have for some time 

 held, namely: 



That standing sails and hiking outside seats should be ruled 

 out. 



That this should be done now. 



I would prefer the "one rig" rule as the best way to deal with 

 standing sails. Robt. Tyson, No. 66, A. C. A.
