FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Jan. 16, 1820. 



A 15X31^ RACING CANOE. 



THE canoe whose lines are here given has been raced for two 

 seasons, and has proved a very successful boat, being very 

 fast in smooth water, but at her best in a strong reefing breeze 

 and a heavy chop sea, under which conditions she goes very well 

 to windward, while being fast off the wind and reaching. She is 

 sailed wittt a sliding seat and no ballast, the board weighing but 

 141bs. Her rig consists of two Mohican sails, 75 in main and 40 in 

 mizen, 115ft. in all, the area being well distributed fore and aft. 

 The actual length of the canoe is 14ft. 10in., but we have extended 

 the lines to 15ft., in uniformity with the lines of Fly, Vagabond 

 and Charm, all other dimensions being unchanged. The displace- 

 ment for a draft of 5in. is 3251bs. in salt water. The same design 

 expanded to 16ft. would displace S471bs. at the same draft. The 

 canoe is raced at a draft of about 5)^in. forward and 5%m. aft. 



BODY PLAN OF 15X315^ CANOE. 



The bottom of keel has a shoe %in. deep, which is not shown in 

 the drawing. The boat is somewhat slow in stays, and woultd be 

 improved by a moderate rocker to the keel, about 2in. in a length 

 of 5ft. at each end. This is not shown in the table of off sets, .but 

 can be put in when laying down. The mainmast is 1ft. 23^in. from 

 the bow; the mizenmast lift. r i%ia. from bow. The centerboard 

 is 26in. long, the fore end of slot being 5ft. from fore side of stem 

 The board comes above the coaming, dropping the full 18in. when 

 (Town. These lines are specially interesting in comparison with 

 those of Fly and Vagabond, each of the three being radically dif- 

 ferent from the others. The following is a table of offsets:
