22-FT. CAN©E YAWL. DESIGNED BY MR. F. W. MARTIN. 



A SfNGLE HAND CRUISER. 



VSTE are indebted to Mr. F. W. Martin, formerly of Clayton, N 

 TV y.. for ihe accompanying liaBdsome designs of a single 

 band cruiser; the boat Ihonglj intended for sailing and day crnis- 

 mg onJy, being built to the ful] limit of tbe class of tbe St. Law- 

 rence River International Skiff SailinK Association, whose head- 

 qnarters are about Clayton, Brockville and Ogdensbnigh, on the 

 St. Lawrence River. The lines show a very st\li&h and serviceable 

 crmser of tbe canoe yawl type, of moderate draft, Siin., and with 

 very good internal accommodations. The boat was designed by Mr 

 Martin for his own use, sailing by day about the river, with no 

 special regard for o uising and camping out. and the well is very 

 shoaJ, being above the r enterhoard trunk; but ample stowage room 

 IS provided on each side and in the cloped compf nments lore and 

 atr, as well as below th^* iioor. Large air chambeis are also fitted 

 11 the ends. For regular cruising with a crew of two or even 



and forward - f the latter a largp ciif^dy could be fitted up, for bed- 

 ding, SI on 8, etc., the air tank being dispfnsed with. In this way, 

 and wiib a tent over the well, there would ue plenty of room by 

 day and night. For long cruises the boat would be still further 

 improved by the removal of the board and the addition of 6in. of 

 UteJ, ruakiBgan extreme draft of 3ft. 6in., and giving still more 

 room inside. The rig is very peculiar, but it is designed with the 

 purpose of securing fhort broms to which the ustwl hand reefing 

 K?ar may be easily fitted, which cannot well be done with a very 

 long brom such as is used on the racing skiffs. The three sails are 

 o. the same size, 80.- q. ft. ea-h. and can be very easily set, reefed, 

 trimmed or stowed by a crew of one. The details of constructioii 

 are very neatly and carefully worked out, and if followed the 

 arl as follows-^ ^^^'^ stylish and shipshape craft. The dimensions

 cbarm kooi^n to us for taking fish is p oper oait and tackle. 

 (Tive us the nnmes of your fish and we will state methods of cap- 

 ture. The caifisLes can be readily taken with earth wo>ms, raw

 Brackettsville, Texas, can give you information about your fish- 

 ing. Buffalo fish do not take the hook Ireeh ; they belong to the 

 sucker family and, like the others, are usually caught by seining 

 or spt-armg. A corretponflent has caught buflfalo on a minnow or 

 tty-hook baited with biead. fishing on the bt^ttom. The fish, how- 

 ever, is say and hard to catcb. 3. See our advertising columns for
