SAILING LENGTH- 



Sailing length, commonly called "corrected length," is obtained 

 by adding together the length on wateriine and the square root of 

 tbe sail area, and dividing the sum by 2, the result being in lineal 

 feet. In this method of measurement, adopted by the Seawanhaka 

 Corinthian Y. C. in 1884, and since known as tbe "Seawanhaka rule," 

 tbe sail area is measured from the spars, club topsails not being 

 included. The principal clubs now using tbe Seawanhaka rule are 

 the Seawanhaka Corinthian, New York, Larchrnont, Atlantic, East- 

 ern, Beverly, Hull. Massachusetts, Philadelphia, Riverside, American 

 Knickerbocker, Royal Canadian. Royal Hamilton, Queen City, 

 Oswego, Rochester, Marine and Field, Corinthian of New York, 

 Marblehead, Philadelphia, and Corinthian Navy and Corinthian 

 Mosquito Fleet. The full details of the rule were published iu the 

 Forest and Stream of Feb. 25, 1892. 



RATING, 



The rating of a yacht is obtained by multiplying the length on 

 wateriine by the sail area, and dividing the product by the constant 

 number 6,000, the result being a measurement in cubical units ap- 

 proximating to the old Thames tonnage. In this method of measure- 

 ment, adopted by the Yacht Racing Association in 1887, tbe sail area 

 is calculated from the drawing of the sail plan, such topsails, work- 

 ing, sprit or club, as are carried being included in the measurement. 

 The established rating classes and the varying proportions of length 

 and sail found in practice, are as follows: 



% rating 16ft. Iw.l.xlSS sq. ft. sail to 17ft. I.w.l.xl78 sq. ft. sail 



1 rating tSft. l.w.l. X333 sq. ft. sail to 20ft. l.w.l. X300 sq. ft, sail 



2^-rating 25ft. l.w.l. xOOO sq. ft. sail to 28ft. 1.W.1.X536 sq, ft. sail 



5 rating 28ft. l.w.l.x!07Lq. ft. sail to 33fc. 1.W.1.X909 sq, ft. sail 



10-ratiug Sift. l.w.LXl76Ssg t. sail to S.J ft. I , , 



20-rating 45.5 l.w.l.X2637sq. ft, sail to 46.5 l.w.l. x2580sq. ft. sail 



Id-rating 59ft. l.w.l. X4067sq. ft. 



60-iaiing 61ft. I.w.l.x5625sq. ft. sail to 68ft. 1 w.l.x5294sq. ft. sail. 



The rating rule is used exclusively in Great Britain, but is used in 

 America by only one club, the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron of 

 Halifax, N. S. 



CLASSIFICATION. 



In America yachts are classed by some clubs by then- wateriine 

 lengths alone; iu others by their sailing length. 



In Great Britain all yachts are classed bv their rating, and not by 

 wateriine.

We publish this week the conditions governing the new "Coupe de 

 France," recently "established by the "Union des Yachts Francuis." 

 It will now he in order to pull this document to pieces to find proof 

 of the legality and fairness of the new deed, as was done with the 

 Royal Victoria deed. Before adopting such a mode of argument it 

 must be remembered that the "Coupe de France" was bought and 

 paid for by the club making the conditions, just as the Royal Vic- 

 toria cup was, and each is the absolute property of the respective 

 clubs. The America Cup, however, has never been tbe absolute 

 property of the New York Y. O, but was intrusted to the custody of 

 the club by five gentlemen who origiually owned it, upon certain 

 conditions, which have been openly violated. 



The "Coupe de France" was given for a special purpose, of en- 

 couraging yacht designing, building and racing in France under cer- 

 tain existing conditions, and thus the terms are quite different from 

 those of a cup intended to be solely a token of international supre- 

 macy among all nations. 



The model competition and exhibition of tbe London Sailing Club 

 suggests the desirability oE a similar exhibition under the manage- 

 ment of one of the New York or Boston clubs, which with proper 

 management might be made very successful . An exhibition next 

 spring of designs and models for yachts not over 21ft. l.w.l., open to 

 amateur and professional designers, should bring out a goodly num- 

 ber of contestants. 



THE LONDON S. C. MODEL EXHIBITION. 



THE model competition and exhibition of the London Sailing Club, 

 the particulars of which were published in the Forest and 

 Stream of Feb. 25, has proved a great success, the total number of 

 entries being forty five, including a number of very meritorious 

 designs. The competition was limited to centerboard boats of 1-rat- 

 ing, from 18 to 20ft. l.w.l., with 333 to 300sq. ft. of sail. 



The models, to a scale of lin. to the foot, were shown in the parlor 

 of the L. S. C, at Hammersmith, attracting many visitors. Mr. 

 Dixon Kemp was the judge, his decisions meeting with general ap- 

 probation. The models were accompanied by the lines and tables of 

 displacement, etc. Most of the models were of the latest type, dead- 

 wood cut away and drop rudder, but the first prize was given to a 

 very handsome little cutter of the conventional type, with raking 

 sternpostand usual rudder, her keel contour and overhanging ends 

 being in no way extreme. She was designed by Mr. David Weir, of 

 Partick, Scotland, the handiwork on the model being specially fine, 

 though this point was not counted in the competition. The second 

 model was exhibited by Mr, J, M.Sopher, the head draftsman of Fay 

 & Co., and the thu d prize went to Mr. Chas. Livingston, of Liverpool, 

 an amateur whose work is well kDown to our readers. Among the 

 designs receiving honorable mention was one by Mr. Walter Stewart, 

 the canoeist, The success of this experimental exhibition is likely to 

 lead to another next year.

SIZE IN YACHT MEASUREMENT, 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



In your issue of last week I asked you to answer the following ques- 

 tion: "In what respect is s*ze different, when boats are in question 

 from what size is in other things?" 



As you have frankly admitted your inability to solve the problem, 

 and request me to do so, 1 have to say that the size of a boat is her 

 cubic measurement. Of course, the entire boat below her deck 

 should he included, such as keel, centerboard and rudder. 



It has been the habit of some persons to speak of a yecht's size as 

 referring to her length, or depth, or some other dimension, without 

 considering the fact that they are talking nonsense and calling things 

 by wrong names. 



Concerning the "rating fad," I would say that there are still 

 living a few of us "ancient mariners," and we cannot avoid being 

 amused at the periodical attacks of mental epidemic disease which 

 afflict our modern yachtsmen. No sooner are they well cured of the 

 cutter mania than forthwith appears a new and peculiar malady 

 which apparently impels them to think that the sail area of a boat 

 is a part of her length on water line, and that 4x20x10. is less in 

 "size" than 10x20x4, Hinc illce lacrymcz. Thomas Clapham 



Roslyu, L. I., March 25, 1892. 



Mr. Clapham has given a very good schoolboy's definition of s'ze 

 practically the length, breadth and depth of a solid body multiplied 

 together; it now rests with him to show how this "size" in any way 

 measures the many factors of speed -which are under the control of 



the designer, the total of which factors it is the aim of all systems of 

 measurement to estimate correctly. 



It has been proven repeatedly in practice that neither the displace- 

 ment, the cubic contents, nor any combination of the three dimen- 

 sions, length, breadth and depth, will give a rule under which yachts 

 may be built and raced satisfactorily. Under Mr.Clapham's definition, 

 if we take any good boat, of whatever type, Beatrice, for instance, 

 it would be possible to build a boat that even he would pronoimce 

 larger, as well as more powerful, and yet that would measure just 

 the same "size" in cubic feet. Such a boat would probably be 

 several feet longeron the wateriine, as wide or wider, and deeper by 

 several feet, but with a very hollow section. The freeboard would 

 be reduced considerably, the overhanging sides would be almost en- 

 tirely cut off. and every possible cubic foot of bulk would be spread 

 out in the three directions of length, breadth and depth, as excess of 

 mere lineal dimension in either of these directions is afar more 

 potent factor of speed than bulk properly distributed to give internal 

 accommodation and seaworthy qualities. The product of such a 

 rule would almost inevitably be a yacht of great length and beam 

 but of shoal body and low freeboard, with great depth of keel, she 

 would have little accommodation below, nearly plumb stem and 

 stern, and a very large rig, a fast boat under the conditions of ordi- 

 nary summer racing, but a most undesirable one. 



The yachtsmen who are interested in this controversy are not 

 looking for a dictionary definition which, in practice, amounts to a 

 mere quibble over words, but for some definition of what is known 

 in a general way as "size," but which in this connection has always 

 been understood as including the power and ability of the boat; a 

 definition which can be utilized in the form of a measurement rule 

 as Mr. Clapham's cannot be. 



Mr. Clapham is again in error in diagnosing the sailing length 

 movement as periodical and epidemic. As early as 1882, almost at 

 the beginning of that "cutter craze" which has finally resulted iu 

 such boats as Gloriaua, Oweene, Gossoon and Pappoose, the so-called 

 "cutter cranks" took up the subject of measurement, attacking 

 boldly the length rules then in vogue, and also tbe "cubic contents" 

 rule then used by the New York Y. C. So far from being periodical 

 and intermittent, the fight has been carried on steadily and persist- 

 ently, until after ten years the length rule and the cubic contents 

 rule have been completely wiped out of all club books, and not only 

 all the important races but the great majority of races are sailed 

 under a length and sail area rule; not only is this so in America, but 

 the same measurement has extended to Great Britain. The old 

 Thames tonnage rule has gone to join the mean length and cubic 

 contents rules; and this "new and peculiar malady" has long since 

 become an established fact. We shall be glad to hear anything from 

 Mr. Clapham that will tend to show the weak points of the len?th 

 and sail area rule, or that will suggest a better one, but we fail to see 

 that his last contribution has thrown much light on the subject. 



SEAWANHAKA COR. Y, C. 



THE change of location of the Seawanhaka Cor. Y. C. has involved 

 the laying out of a number of new courses off the club station 

 at Oyster Bay, and at the third regular meeting, on April 5, the fol- 

 lowing amendment to the constitution, adopted at the previous meet- 

 ing, was passed. To amend Article XXVIII.. entitled "Annual Race," 

 to read as follows: "There shall be an annual Corinthian race to be 

 sailed on such date as may be determined at the second regular 

 meeting." 



The race committee will move the amendment of Rule XX. of thp 

 racing rules, entitled "Courses," to read as follows: 



Sec. 1. The courses for all races shall be as the race committee may 

 direct for each race. The course selected shall be stated on the blank 

 form of entry sent to each yacht owner in the club, as provided for 

 under Rule VH., Sec. 1. 



Sec, 2. The race committee shall have the power to change the 

 courses, or amend the instructions on or before tbe day of the race, 

 provided notice of such change is given to each yacht before the pre- 

 paratory signal is given. 



Sec. 3. The annual race of the club shall be over such of the follow- 

 ing courses as may be specified by the race committee.

YACHT AND LAUNCH BUILDING AT NYACK. 



A LARGE number of boats is now under construction at tbe works 

 of Charles L. Seabury & Co., Nyack on-Hudson. The first on 

 the stocks is a fine cruising steam yacht for Mr. Walter Luttgen. of 

 August Belmont & Co., which will be launched about May 15. Her 

 dimensions are 85ft. over all, 7.2ft. l.w.l , 14ft. beam, 5ft, draft. The 

 main saloon and staterooms are located aft of the machinery, and 

 consist of two large double staterooms, fitted with dressing cases, 

 toilet rooms, etc. The one on the starboard side has a bathroom 

 attached. These rooms are finished in ivory white enamel paint 

 with gold trimmings. The saloon is aft of tbe staterooms. It has 

 four large folding sofa beds, which may be used as seats during the 

 day. At the forward end of the saloon on the port side is an upright 

 piano. The machinery consists of a Seabury compound engine and 

 a Seabury safety water tube boiler. Linta is the name of this craft, 

 and she will be enrolled in the Corinthian Y C. and the Railway Y. 

 C, of which Mr. Luttgen is commodore. The Linta will have a com- 

 plete electric light plant. 



Next on the stocks is the 44ft. launch for the Seawanhaka O. Y. C, 

 almost ready to launch. The hull is finished, and a Seabury boiler 

 and a Seabury compound engine are in place. The cabin work and 

 painting will be completed in about two weeks. 



Alongside of the Seawanhaka is the small steam launch Anemone, 

 a shoal draft boat specially designed for family use on Lake Erie! 

 near Buffalo. She is the property of a well known official of the N. 

 Y. C. & H. R. R. and has a seating accommodation for a party of 18 

 to 20. 



The next launch is the Flyer, 42ft. long, with a 50-horse power 

 Seabury triple expansion engine and Seabury safety water tube 

 boiler, with a guaranteed speed of 15 miles per hour. This launch 

 will be used principally on the Passaic River, lower New York Bay 

 and Staten Island Sound. It was built for a Newark yachtsman. 



Among the unfinished boats which are well advanced are launches 

 for R. Lincoln Lippitt, of Providence, R. I., and John H. Rutherford, 

 of New York, also a 87ft. boat for J. Monroe Shoemaker, of Elmira, 

 N. Y. It is designed for a party launch and has accommodations 

 for 25. 



One of the first boats to he launched is W. H. Granbery's 30ft. 

 launch. It has been newly fitted with a Seabury compound engine 

 and Seabury boiler. The machinery is a duplicate of the plant which 

 Messrs. Seabury & Co. supplied with the launch they built for W. K. 

 Vanderbilt's steam yacht Alva, which won the race against the Duke 

 of Rothschild's launch Eros at Nice on the 13th ult. Mr. Granbery's 

 boat is about the same size as the Alva's launch, and will he used on 

 Schroon Lake.
