EASTERN Y. C. ANNUAL REGATTA, JULT 15. 



As has happened hefore at Marblehead, Sunday was in ideal 

 regatta day, warm, bright and sunny, with a good breeze all day; 

 hut Monday proved e actly the reverse, with a northeaster, "a 

 pour of raiu and a heavy t~ea. The. fleet ran out to Hallway Rock 

 a boxit 10 o'clock, and a start was made, Clara, Alga, Fanita and 

 all larger craft heiug sent to the S.E. mark of the triangular 

 couise first, then to S.W.mark and home, 36 knots; while, the 

 smaller craft ran out to S.W. mark, near Harding's Buoy, and 

 heat home, 25 kinds. As it happened, neither markhoat went out, 

 so the large boats sailed over fit teen a ilesout to sea and returned. 

 'The forties and thirties all turned Harding's Bell Buoy, thus 

 making a race. 



Verena led to the huoy, with Chiquita, Gorilla and Minerva in 

 order; hut once on the wind the little Scotch cutter left the 

 fleet, winning by imin. In Tom Sloan's hand Gorilla did better 

 than she has ever done before, healing all the Burgess boats 

 fairly. Whatever fluking was done on Saturday, all admit that 

 Minerva won on her merits to-eiay. In the 30ft. class the big 

 Cape catboat Harbinger heat both Saracen and Kathleen, hut 

 she was inside the islands in smooth water and out of the very 

 heavy sea where the deep boats could not follow her. Saracen 

 beat Kathleen, as the times show. The larger boats will sail 

 again on Tuesday, and Mr. Thayer has offered a special cup for 

 an extra race of the forties. The times were:

BEVERLY YACHT CLUB. 



146TH REGATTA, SECOND OPEN SWEEPSTAKE, MONUMENT BEACH, 

 JULT 13. 



BEFORE describing the race I wish to correct an error and mis- 

 priut in last week's Forest and Stream. Ln 143d B. Y. C. 

 race read. Polly, Richard Codman, in place of Nymph, Geo. G. 

 Amory. This was my error, hut in 144th race the printer made 

 me sav Kiowa led round Bowditch by '"ten" minutes while I wrote 

 'two." 



There was a strong S.S.E. breeze on 13th; all hut Mattie, Mist, 

 Tantrum, Petrel, Daisy and one or two others being reefed. 



As 9 out of the 18 entries had to be measured before race, the 

 judges had a lively time, hut race was started on the second. Mr. 

 Stockton had cut down the spars of both his boats to save mea u - 

 ureme'it; he succeeded admirably, reducing Mattie Sin. and Daisy 

 15in., but in latter case did not seem to have left enough mast to 

 hold up his sail; it bagged badly, and how she got to windward as 

 she did was a wondwr. 



In first class A. P. E. and Mattie were sailing a good rar-e, when 

 Mattie dresv out the patent bolt holding peak halliard block and 

 withdrew. 



Second class sailed a very close race?, Mollie tieing Mist on 

 actual time and Wildcat and Mollie pressing her close on cor- 

 rected time. Gyinnote and Thyra showed marked improvement. 

 Tantrum carried away forestay and withdrew. 



lu third c ass Eina met the new Ebenezer, the crack of the 

 Sippiean Y. C, of whom great things were predicted. Petrel as- 

 tonished every one by carrying full sail. Eiua, single reefed 

 started two minutes after Daisy, who led off. She sailed well' 

 gradually taking first place and shaking out reef at windward 

 mark. Time of first round: Eina 2:28:40, Dai*v .2:29:50, Ehenezer 

 2:30:45, Petrel 2:32:06, Algonquin 2:34:42. Petrel was picking up 

 Ebenezer on the run. As they started again to windward it 

 breezed up stronger. Eina .was happy, getting up to windward in 

 a remarkable manner. Daisy also (lid very well, holding Eina for 

 a time. Petrel still kept picking up Ebenezer, but coming home, 

 while well within her time allowance for third place, she broke 

 her tiller and withdrew. 



in fourth class Kitten was entered but hit a sandbar hefore 

 start, breaking her centerboard. Edith had not studied up the 

 couise; twice she lost time hunting for a buoy and twice she 

 gained a good deal by cutting a buoy; she heat Mab 9m.. but of 

 course was ruled out. The little Mab is a new boat, and time 

 allowance tables only run to 15ft,, consequently her corrected 

 time was not figured. 



Courses first and secoud classes. Leaving Pinf>s Buoy, Scraggy- 

 Neck Buoy and Bird Island Buoy on starboard and return, 11 

 miles. Third class, leaving Pines Buoy, Abiels Ledge Buoy, 

 judge's yachts and Pints Buoy on starboard and return, 8 miles.

 son's and Rainsford islands on the starboard. Long end George's

 ties Alice led at the start, but soon lost her advantage through 

 luffing out of the way of auother boat, being left to leeward of 

 the Neptune. Verena and Helen sailed well together for the first 

 dozen miles, the former leading. When near the Devil's Back a 

 lulling mutch came off, resulting in a protest from Helen, she 

 claiming that Verena. tried to luff her aground, her draft being 

 10ft. din. Helen sailed much better than she has yet done, her 

 sail plan being materially reduced, but Verena filially left her.

 ports, the course being 12 miles triangular, one round for the 

 smaller craft and two for the larger. The Royal Y. C. is one of 

 the very few clubs which sti 11 clings to that obsolete monstrosity, 

 the scaled handicap, and through the unfairness or ignorance of 

 the handicapping committee it was worked to the great disad- 

 vantage of the visiting boats. White Wings, the fastest center- 

 board sloop, received a handicap that for once made her very 

 weary in ieed, being scratched with the schooner Oriole, 73ft. 

 l.w.l., and allowing the Watson cutter Aileen, 55ft l.wl., 6m. 40s., 

 her own length being but 43ft., while she had to give 19m. 6s. to 

 the Watson cutter Verve No. 2, of her own length. Under the 

 club rules the Oriole, allows her 8m. and Aileen allows 11m. The 

 full times were:

 Escape, Yolande and Kelpie each 3m,, Naiad 6m. and Imogene 

 11m. Cyprus thus having to allow Escape 3m. wins by only half 

 a minute, while Escape beats Little World 13m. 10s. for second 

 place, and the last mentioned only beats Kelpie for third by 40s. 



The judges of the races were Vice-Commodore Thomas McGaw 

 and Mi-. C. W.Postlethwaite, while Mr. J. E. Robertson was time- 

 keeper. 



Aileen lost her topmast on the first round. The prizes were given 

 on Saturday night at a meeting on the island, being a handsome 

 silver "loving cup" to Mr. George Gooderham, of Oriole; a hand- 

 some cup to Commodore BosweU, of Verve No. 2; a D^autiful 

 clock, barometer and thermometer to Mr. Monk, of Cyprus, and 

 solid silver medals to the owners of the yachts White Wings of 

 Hamilton, Escape and Little World. . 



The new steam yacht Abeona was out for her trial trip during 

 the race, with her owner, Mr. A. E. Gooderham, aboard. 



LIRIS. 



npHERE are a good many races to be sailed and some hard 

 JL fighting to be done before the question of supremacv in the 

 40ft. class is decided for the season. Verena and Chispa" are yet 

 to be heard from, the new Awa will be in the races very soon and 

 should prove a dangerous boat, Gorilla, in Sloan's skillful hands, 

 is likely to do far better work than she has thus far, Baboon, if 

 raced, is sure of some prizes, while a new Burgess forty is prom- 

 ised in time for the faU races. As far as the races yet sailed 

 about New York can be taken it looks now as though the winners 

 were to be found in the two extremes, Liris and Minerva, both 

 keels, the former the largest and the latter the smallest boat in 

 the class. Owing to the many delays on the part of her builder 

 and the failure of her hollow spars Liris has only been able to 

 start in four races, and even now is so far from complete that it 

 was impossible to take her around the Cape, but whiie her races 

 thus far cannot be taken as conclusive she has been able, in spite 

 of many drawbacks, to inspire respect on the part of all her class- 

 mates and has the record of being the only new boat of the year 

 that has won any prizes. The most interesting feature in con- 

 nection with her is that she represents the extreme limit of the 

 40ft. class up to date, if not the extreme beyond which it will 

 prove undesirable to go, even though the rules should allow it. In 

 length on l.w.l. she is nearly up to the limit, 39ft. 9in. in racing 

 trim, her beam is 13ft. and draft betweeu 9ft. 6in. and 10ft.. Her 

 length oyer all is about 57ft, from intersection of planksheer and 

 rabbet to after side of archboard or 2ft. more than the new 

 Burgess boats Chispa and Maraquita, the after overhang being 

 lift. The sheer is peculiar,5a moderate curve forward, not so 

 straight as the usual parabolic sheer, while aft the whole counter 

 turns up very quickly with more curve than any of the cutters of 

 Watson, Fife or Burgess. In both Liris and Kathleen Mr. Gard- 

 ner has struck a sheer peculiarly his own, and more like that of 

 the old sloops than the modern cutters. 



The clipper stem is very long, being carried out by a handsome 

 trailboard and figurehead, as in the English boats, while the after 

 overhani; is light and graceful, being very narrow on the end. 

 The bulwark is about 4in. high and shows as part of the side from 

 without, the gold stripe being lowered to decrease the apparent 

 freeboard and increase the bulwark, thus lightening the appear- 

 ance of the boat. Her extreme length, from fore end of figure- 

 head to after side of rail, is about 60ft., or 150 per cent, of the 

 l.w.l.; hut with a sail plan nearly 96ft. on the foot this great length 

 does not appear excessive, the. hull sitting very gracefully on the 

 water. That Mr. Gardner has the eye of an artist, as well as the 

 skill of the successful designer, is amply shown by a glance at 

 tbe boat from any point of view when at anchor or under way. 



The under-water section of the sheer plan shows a sharp elbow 

 just below the l.w.l,, the fore foot being much cut away. From 

 this elbow the keel runs down quite straight, finding its maxi- 

 mum depth just abaft the midships, and rockering up a little at 

 the heel of the post. The sternpost rakes about 43 degrees, or more 

 than any of the Burgess or Smith boats. The lead keel is a huge 

 piece, of probably 16 long tons, about 20ft. long, extending nearly 

 to the heel. Unlike the later Burgess boats, it is very wide, being 

 13in. on bottom and 16in. on top, with a depth of 30in. Compared 

 with Chispa and Maraquita, the midship section is narrower by 

 a^out 6in., with a slight round to the side above water, a harder 

 bilge, and thinner through the floors above the garboards and 

 thicker through the keel itself. As a result, the w r eight of the 

 keel is much lower, while by a lighter construction it is also much 

 greater. Without any authentic figures to guide us, we should 

 say that Liris carries at least 60 per cent, of her displacement in 

 the form of lead, while Chispa has probably 45 per cent, and Mar- 

 aquita 55. To secure this remarkable lightness of hull the com- 

 posite construction used abroad in sailing yachts and here by the 

 Herreshoffs has been adopted. The wood keel is sided l^in., 

 moulded 10in., while the frames are of hackmatack forward and 

 aft, and of bent oak and steel angles amidship. The steamed 

 frames are at heels, 2in. at heads, and sided 2in., with iron 



floor knees 2x%in. on each. The steel angles are lJ^x2J4XMin., 

 let into the keel and bolted, with a floor plate 6x%bx, backed by 

 an angle 3>gx8J^x%iu. riveted to it and lag screwed to keel. There 

 are two sreained frames between each angle frame, the spacing 

 of all frames being 15}^in. The hackmatack frames in the bows 

 and counter are single, the latter quite light, but with a good 

 transom knee and timbers and ample quarter timbers. The shelf 

 is in two pieces, each 3i£x2J^, running the entire length, while 

 below are two bilge clamps, 6xlJ£ also running from the stem to 

 the end of the counter, and helping the latter greatly. All of 

 these are of yellow pine. The deck frame is of hackmatack, 

 beams 2}4x2>£. partner and main hatch beams 34X3J4- There are 

 iron hanging knees on both partner beams, runner beams and 

 abreast the bitts. 



The garboards are of IMin. oak, about 18in. wide, and the shear- 

 strakes are also of oak, 6in. wide. The rest of the planking is 

 double, an inner skin of white cedar and an outer one of mahog- 

 any, breaking joints, the two fastened between the frames with 

 copper rivets. The fastenings are copper on the bent frames and 

 composition screw bolts on the steel frames. The plankshear is 

 of oak, 7xl^in. The deck is also in two thicknesses, cedar and 

 white pine, a total of lj^in., being nailed to the beams, with brass 

 screws from the inside between the beams. The deck itself is 

 very large and handsome in outline, owing to the clipper 

 stem and long stern. The light pine bulwark is capped with a
