SAIL PLAN OF CAT YAWL "KUMA.' 



gBCTIQN m CABIN. 



THE ST. LAWRENCE Y. C. 



THE plans for the new houae of the St. Lawrence Y. Care now 

 b ingprepqred by Mr. Gardnpr, of Montreal. The building 

 will be 40x32. On the ground floor tbere will be a fine club and 

 dining room, with the usual offlres. looker room, rirrmltory and 

 committee loom. The structure promises to be not only a very 

 comfortable but a very handsome club house. The club has also 

 decided to lav down ways for hauling out, and to erect a mending 

 shop and storage shed, with the Intention of leasing the plnnt to 

 a competent builder, awi thus doing away with the greatest exist- 

 ing obstacle to the development of yachting in the vicinity of 

 Montreal. 



During the winter a number of meetings have been held, the con- 

 stitu'ion aud by-laws have been inoroughlv revised, and although, 

 tneie has been a substantial inrrease in the fees, a very creditable 

 increase in the membership is tailing place. 



Tne additions tothefleetfor the coming season are of such a 

 nature as to insure good racing in all of the new orrected length 

 claf-ses. Two boats, the Queen, late of the Lake Champlain Y, C, 

 and the Frolic, of the Atlantic Y. 0., were bought into ilie club 

 last fall, and will bo raced in the n*'w^ a class for boats of over 

 29ft. c.l. The principal addition to th's c'ass is, however, the Vik- 

 ing, a 30 l.w.l. of 35 c 1 , designed by Mr. S. H Duggan, the commo- 

 dore of the clnK lor Mr. L. L Smith, and now under construction 

 at MacIntire'sCoie St. Paul shop. The Viking has 27ft. beam for 

 3tt. draft— the limit inxed by the nature of the wafer— and will 

 have 6,0001bs. of iron outside. She has a lougand light counter, a 

 very pretty raking stem, and fine wa'erlines with very easy but- 

 tocks. 



The only boat building for the 29ft class is one of 32ft. water- 

 line. STft. overall, 9ft. beam and about 26ft. c.L, which is being 

 built in Hamilton, by Wtir, for a sj ndica'e of 8t. Ann« men. 



Two new ones are being added to the 24it. class, one ot which, a 

 boatfn m a Burgess design, now buildibg at Lawl-'i's promises 

 to be a verv iiQe craft indeed. Siieis to be about 20fi. 1 w.L, 8ft. 

 beam and 3ft draft, and will carry all rhe sail which h'-r c ass 

 allows her. This boat is be^r g built for Mr. W. Kavanagh. The 

 other is a lapstreak boat of 31ft. l.w.l. and 23ft. c.L, which is being 

 built for Mr. Fairman. 



No boats are actually under way for the 21ft. class, although 

 several are tailed of, but three boats are being built for the new 

 18ft. c.l class, which is intended to be a singlehander class, the 

 crew being limited to two men, and more are being talked of. The 

 boats of this rlass promise to be exceptionally able and useful 

 little crnf ts and the class affords a fine opportunity for the amateur 

 designer. 



Two of the 18-footers now under cons+ruction are being put up 

 together in Marlntire'a shop. The one is from Mr. Duggan's 

 design, for Mr. Kenrick, a likp].\ looking little craf of 16ft. 1 w 1 

 20ft. over all and 61 1. beam, with oOOlbs. und.rneaLh. The other 

 was designtd oy Mr. F. P. Shearwood, for Mr. A. W. Shearwood 

 and for 16ft. l.wl. she will have 5ft. 6in. bpam. 21in. draft ard 

 about eOOibs.out'ide. The third boat is a 16ft. catboat, designed 

 by Mr. A. Gary Smith for Mr. E. M. Fulton of the steamship 

 Gadabout.

 will make the class still more interesting.
