MARJORIE. 



THE keel cutter Marjorie, whose lines appeared in our last 

 issue and whose sail plan is now given, was built for the 

 30ft. class In 1888, at the time when it was first coming into notice 

 about Boston as a racing class. Her designer was Mr. J. Borden, 

 of the Boston Yacht Agency, and her owner Mr, C. H. Taylor, Jr., 

 of Boston. Marguerite, as she was first named, was not built to 

 the limit, of the class, the other boats being of full 30ft., nor was 

 she raced steadily through the season, but she showed consider- 

 able speed in light weather and if steadily raced would have 

 made a very creditable record. In the latter narc of 1889 she was 

 purchased by Mr. P. L. St, John, of New York, who has since 

 owned her, using her solely for cruising. Her dimensions are as 

 follows: 



DIMENSIONS AND ELEMENTS, 



Length over all 38ft. 



L.W.L 28ft. 



Beam extreme 10ft. 6in. 



L.W.L 9ft. Sin. 



Draft extreme 7ft.

Ballast inside, long tons .. .50

total, long tons 6.10

Midship section, area 23ft. 8in,

center of buoyancy 15ft. 6}^iu. 



Center of lateral resistance 16ft. 4J^iu. 



center of effort 16ft. 4in, 



mast 10ft. 



Mast, deck to hounds 30ft, 



head 5ft. 6in, 



Topmast, fid to sheave 24ft. 



Bowsprit, end l,w.l. to sheave - 16ft, Sin, 



Boom - 36ft,

Topsail yards 24 and 29ft. 



Mainsail area 861sq. ft. 



Foresail 185sq. ft. 



Jib 231sq. ft. 



Total lower sails 1.277sq. ft. 



Sail area S. C, Y. C. rule l,780sq. ft. 



square root 42.3 



Corrected length 35.1 



All of the above figures are taken from the designs, but at 

 present the draft has been increased by 3in.. making the l.w.l. 

 about 6in. longer. It will be noticed that the C. E, is nearly over 

 the C, L, R., but the boat steered well under this rig, though a 

 wheel was used. In her new owTier's hands the wheel has beeu 

 replaced by a tiller, and in order to ease the steering a couple of 

 cloths have been taken from the mainsail, the jib being set a 

 little lurther out on the same bowsprit. The present meaaure- 

 nients of the spars are: Mast, deck to bounds, 39ft, 3in.; topmast, 

 25ft. 9in.; boom, o5ft. 3in,; gaff, 33ft, 4in, The yacht had originally 

 a full outfit of the hollow paper wrapped spars, but during the 

 past winter they have been replaced by solid spruce sticks, and 

 with no loss of weight, as has been proved on the scales. 



The yacht was built by W. K, Pryor, at South Boston, under the 

 direction of her designer, and a very light hull has been secured. 

 The scantling is as follows: Stem, oak, sided 4i^in.; sternpost, 

 oak, sided for 5in. rudder post; keel, oak, sided 18in., moulded 6in.; 

 frames, steamed oak, sided IMin-i miulded l^in. to l}4in. and 

 spaced 9in.; clamps, 3x3, yellow pine; bilge clamps. 3s%in. yellow 



The iron floors are %xlMm. on each alternate frame. The ratio of 

 ballast to displacement obtained by this construction is a very high 

 one, 63 per cent, of tPe designed displacement heing carried in 

 lead, but this must be decreased somewhat owing to the deeper 

 Immersion of the yacht as now sailed. Even with this allowance 

 the hull is an admirable combination of strength and lightness, 

 and has shown no indications of an undue sacrifice of the former 

 Important requisite. We wiU give next week the interior arrange- 

 ment. 



SEAWANHAKA CORINTHIAN Y. C. 



THE race committee of the Seawanhaka Corinthian Y. C, 

 Messrs. Walter 0. Kerr, M, M. Howland, Wm. A. Haines,
