FOREST AND STREAM, 



[Mat 19, 1893. 



too intelligent and well informed to go back to anything so primi- 

 tive and so radically false as the theory that the possibilities for 

 speed are in any way measured by length alone. 



The ■ mean length" rule of the New York: Yacht Raciug Association, 



Length on Deck + Length on Waterline, . 

 s has a strong indorsement 



in the course of an ariicle on "Coast and Inland Yachting," by F. W. 

 Pangborn, in the May Century. After quoting the formula in full, 

 as above, Mr. Pangborn makes a rather unfortunate allusion to the 

 merits of a rule "with no plus in it." The writer credits the rule 

 with a far greater popularity than it really enjoys, in fact the only 

 important yachting body now sailing under a length rule in this 

 country or Canada is the New York Y". R. A., including the individual 

 clubs comprising I he association. The length rule is still used by a 

 few clubs in the West, in which the boats are all of one type, but the 

 great majority of the clubs of the Atlantic coast and the Great Lakes 

 sail under the Seawanhaka rule. We can recall no instance of a club 

 changing from length and sail area to a length rule, and the Corin- 

 thian Navy, if it makes the proposed change, will be the first and 

 probably the last to do so. 



President Elbridgb T. Gerry, of the Society for the Prevention 

 of Cruelty to Children, last week put a summary stop to the children's 

 chorus whose nursery rhymes have for over a year been the most 

 popular feature of the comic opera "Wang." Commodore Elbridge 

 T. Gerry, of the New York Y. C, has not yet found any convenient 

 means of stopping the chorus of complaint chat has been heard for 

 so long over the new deed of gift, within as well as without the club. 



Just at present the New Y"ork Y. C. and its commodore are in much 

 the same predicament as the man with "the elephant on his hands," 

 whom the agile Mr. Hopper sings of in the same opera. The good 

 name of the club has been impaired by the attempt of certain of its 

 members to get something which th Q y thought they wanted, but 

 which, once having, they do not want and cannot. get rid of. 



The exhaustive article on the vibration of hulls, by Mr. Yarrow, 

 which we publish this week, is a most original and valuable contribu- 

 tion to the literature of steam yachting. The practical demonstra- 

 tions and elaborate experiments are likely to overthrow some 

 accepted theories, but they seem to be backed up by facts which 

 cannot be controverted. It will surprise many old steam yachtsmen 

 to learn that the amount of vibration is practically independent of 

 the screw. 



The annual race of the Coop?r's Point Y. C. from Camden, arouud 

 Reedy Island, on the Delaware River, is probably the longest race 

 sailed by small craft. The distance is 110 miles on a wide river with 

 rough water at times. Th* boats are all of 16Cc. extreme length, 

 open centerboard catboats carrying three men. The race Is sailed 

 early in the season, when bad weather is the rule, one race having been 

 sailed in a snowstorm. The race of Saturday was the sixth that has 

 been sailed. 



YACHT NEWS NOTES. 



On May 10 a complimentary dinner to Com. C.H. Colt, of the Larch- 

 mont Yl C. was given at Sherry's, a number of yachtsmen being 

 present. 



The annual dinner of the New York Y. C. was held at Delmonico's 

 on May 13, Com. Gerry presiding. 



On May 14 the new steam launch Seawauhaka was lauuched by 

 Seabury & Co. at Nyaek. She is 41ft. long, Sfr. 3 in in beam, and

Frank P. Bates, well known to all New Y T ork yachtsmen who have 

 KHiled about Gowanus and the Bay Ridge shore, died at his home in 

 Brooklyn on May 13. Mr. Bates, who was an authority in the old 

 days of sand-bag racing, was a dealer in small yachts of all kinds, as

 Adams, of Larchmont, which will be a combination of a Capecatboat 

 with the overhanging ends of Gloriana. 



The Mobile Y. C. opened the season on May 1 with a good fleet in 

 commission, and much interest among the members. At the annual 

 meeting on 31 ay 5 the following officers were elected: Com., G. M. 

 Van Liew: Vice-Corn., W. B. Curran; Sec'ty and Treas.. J- K. Yin- 

 cent. The racing begins with a handicap ra?e from the club house

 jib enlarged and mainsail improved. Kilbride has changed hands and 

 now flies Rear Commodore McKane's pennant. Kitcoch's topsails 

 are being overhauled for the purpose of making them set better. 

 The prospects are good for sport. 



The Fall River Y. C. will sail its its third annual regatta on May 

 30, with prizes for six classes. 



The South Boston Y. C. will sail au open regatta on May 80. All 

 entries to be made not later than May 28 to G. F, Clark^ 48 Milk 

 street, Boston. 



On May 14 there was launched at Pryor's Yard. South Boston, the 

 steam yacht Sea Bird, 95ft. overall, loft, beam, and 6ft. draft, owned 

 by L. J. Bird, of Boston, 



The latent arrival is the Herreshoff centerboard for Messrs. Brown. 



Dunne and Hunt. She came by rail, was taken from the car and 

 launched at Harrison Square and should be rigged and sailing ro-day. 

 Mr. Brown, who will have her tiller in the races, is away on his wed- 

 ding: tour, but Messrs. Dunne and Hunt with Barclay Til'on will sail 

 they can in her, for they realize that she will take plenty 

 of handling in order to win. The Reaper, H. P. Benson's fln from 

 the Herreshoffs. was tried under sail a week ago at Bristol and 

 found wanting in ability to carry her big sail spread. She was fast 

 until heeled to her gunw-ale, but then instead of heeling further to 

 the puffs she would lift out her windward side and slow up. The 

 cause was too little lead. Sixteen hundred pounds was the au>ouut 

 originally calculated as sufficient, but now it will be made a plump 

 2,000, and this amount is expected to keep the boat where she be- 

 longs. She floats sufficiently light to carry the added weight 

 and still be within the class limits. Mr. Benson liked the working of 

 his boat very much, however, and thinks with the added ballast he 

 will baye just what he needs for afternoon sailing at Marblebead. as 

 well as for racing. Having tried his boat against nothing but the 

 Kersey 25-rater, which really has a smaller sail plan than the 

 Reaper, Mr. Benson has no means of knowing whether or not he 

 has a winner, but from her general performance he has great confi- 

 dence in the final result. But racing and not talking about his boat 

 is his inclination, and he will have her in Marblebead as soon as 

 possible. Sne carries about 750 square feet of canvas and will there- 

 fore take a big allowance from the centerboards which carry close 

 to a thousand, t^he will measure only a little over 23ft, sailing 

 leng'h, where they will measure 27 or more, a big bargain in her 

 favor if she is at all fast. The same is true of the Bigelow fin, 

 Vanessa. This boat is a twin to the Reaper, and was given the same 

 amount of lead, but now she, too, will have a full tan.— .Boston 

 Globe. 



The new Herreshoff 21-footers have a novel withe at the masthead, 

 it is fitted to revolve around the mast, thus avoiding the twisting 

 strain of the halyards on the mast. 



The new Watson centerboard cutter, Queen Mab, was launched on 

 Mav 4. at Partick. Scotland. She is about 59ft. l.wl., 16ft beam and 

 lift, draft without board. With board down she will draw about 15ft. 

 The board is of yellow metal, 3J* tons.

 Dr. Church to Jacob Cram .'.Thetis, sloop, has been chartered for 

 the season by Paul V. Stevenson to Cnas S. Denison, of Boston. 



The Knickerbocker Y. C. is getting well along with its new quarters 

 at College Point. L. I. The club house and cafe have each had a 

 storv put under them for storage room for spars and yawls, and a 

 board-roofed veranda built on three sides. The site is very eligible, 

 commanaing a view of the East River from Flushing Bay and Rik 

 er's Island to Ferry Point. A 5 -mile course can be laid out within 

 view of the piazza. The anchorage is large and good, varying from 

 3ft. to any depth required. The dock, 250ft. long, with L of 50ft.. 

 sheathed, will be completed within a month, and a substantial 

 marine railway for yachts up to 50ft. will be in place before hauling- 

 out time next fall. The initiation fee of $20 has been suspended un- 

 til the membership list reaches 150, and it i* rapidly filling up. The 

 grounds are very accessible— by boat from Ninety ninth street. East 

 River, every hour, and an electric car connecting with Long Island 

 R R. runs within a minute's walk of the front gate. The club went 

 into commission on May 14, and its opening day, with regatta, 

 occurs on May 30. 



Seawanhaka Cor. Y. C, under date of May 12, has issued General 

 Orders No. 1: "The vessels of the fleet will rendezvous in Seawan- 

 haka Harbor, Oyster Bay. on Friday, May 27, in order that they may 

 be present and assist on the occasion of the opening of the new club 

 house, which will take place on the following day, Saturday, May 28. 

 On the morning of Saturday, on signal, a meeting will be held on the 

 flagship to decide upon the part the fleet will take in the events of 

 the day. It is hoped that a large fleet will be present. By order of 

 the commodore, J. Frederic Tarns, Fleet Captain." 



The Corinthian Navy has opened the following stations: City

 Tyson's float. Additional stations will be opened early in June at 

 Northport, Black Rock, New Haven and New London. On May 26, 

 a meeting will be held at the Hotel Marlborough. The club has un- 

 der consideration a proposal to abandon the Seawanhaka rule, bow 

 in use, for a waterline length rule. 



The Cape Cod Yacht Agency has lately made the following sales: 

 Phitus. 22ft. cat, to W. T. Milton, of Boston; Nixie, 21ft. cat, to Clay- 

 ton Roekhill, of N-w York: Myrtle, 28ft. cat, to Messrs. Ayers and

 4, the start being made at 11:30 A. M. Prizes will be offered in all the 

 regular classes, with a special handicap for 3 starters in the 46ft.- 

 class in addition to the regular prize. 



ZELMA. 



ON Mav 7 the new Fife cutter built at Toronto for Messrs. Norman 

 B. Dick, Stephen Haas and Widmer Hawke, was launched from 

 the shed where she was built by Henry Stanton, of Pictou. Zelma, 

 as she will be called, was designed and partly built by Mr. Will Fife. 

 Jr., the entire frame being got out and erected at the Fairlie yard, 

 after which it was knocked down and shipped to Toronto. There it 

 was re-erected over the lead keel, and the planking, decking and 

 other work completed . Zelma is intended for the 40f c. sailing length 

 class of the Lake Y. R A., the measurement being by Seawanhaka 

 rule. The leading boat in the class is the Fife cutter Yauia. built in 

 1890, by Win triDgham, at Bay Ridge, N. Y..for Mr. Allan Ames, of 

 Osw'eeo. Yama has swept the Lake for two seasous, going last year 

 into the 46ft. sailing length class, as she had no competitors in the

COOPER'S POINT CORINTHIAN Y, C. 



REEDY ISLAND RACE. 



A WORSE day for pleasure craft than May 14 would be hard to 

 A. imagine; alternate squalls and calms, a variable easterly wind 

 with ire chilly proclivities, and rain pretty much all the time made 

 the uninterested public wonder what those 'tarnal f"ols over on the 

 point w T ere trying to do. Surely no sensible man would hustle out his 

 light sails and stiud in the rain hour after hour on a day like this 

 just for fun ? It takes more than weather to scare off the sailor boys 

 of the Delaware, however, and about all the entries showed up 'in 

 time for the start, four of them, including the winning cat, the K n- 

 sey, never having been tried before, and one, the Humphreys, did not 

 get her sails bent on uniil three minutes after the last gun ti ed, but 

 she started just the same. Just think of it, you yachtsmen of the 

 East, a sailin? race of 110 miles down into the rough water of the 

 lower Delaware and back, in open 16ft. boat*, right in the face of a 

 squally southeaster. Don't it make you tired? 



The club's rules call for the somewhat obsolete waterline length 

 measurement, on which a time allowance of 25m. per foot is made for 

 the course, no restrictions on sails. 



The preparatory gun was fired at 3:50 P. M., and 5 minutes later 

 the sloops were sent on thtir journey, the second gun acting as a 

 preparatory signal for the smaller boats. The following slo -ps 

 started: Elfreda (Dr. Tuttle), sailed by Capt. Bagley; Hilda, sailed 

 by her owner, Mr. G. W. Holioway; Nance (Mr. Gideon), sailed by 

 Mr. Vandeufen; Comfort, owned and sailed by Com. Lutes, CP Y.cr. 

 with the veteran Capt. Wilkins on board as advisory committee; 

 Ma jorie, Ida, Emilie K. and A. B. C. also started. Nance was first 

 over the line, handicapped 55s.. Hilda 15s. later, and the others trail- 

 ing close behind. The open boats got off pretty well together, all 

 being handicapped some two or three minutes. Numerous changes 

 of weather were encountered, the wind being so high at times that 

 all hands had to lay to and bold on to the weather rails, and again 

 for four hours all were utieilv becalmed. The sloops Marjone. 

 Emilie K. and Elfreda ran aground and bad to give up; Lindeborn 

 and Humphreys did not complete the course and were disqualified. 

 Hilda was the Brst boat to reach Repdy Island at midnight andfound 

 that the storm or river pirates bad removed the stakeboat to some 

 place in out of the wet; at any rate it was not visible. While she 

 was hunting for the stakeboat the Kinsey arrived, and immediately 

 after A. B, C, and the little Nance, smallest of the fleet in the cabin 

 class, close behind. All were drenched through and through, and 

 dry spots in or out of cabin were scarce as hen's teeth. 



On Sunday the rainy monotony was varied by a scorching sun, 

 appropriating large sections of cuticle from the exposed yachtsmen, 

 and about 8 o'clock the wind sprang out from the south, carrying the 

 whnle fleet home before the wind with eyery rag set. The cats were 

 allowed to carry jibs and spinakers and they made good use of them 

 on the run home. The finish was timed : 



Hilda (cabin) 2 18 15 Clark (open) 3 40 00 



Kinsey (open) 2 19 00 Ida (cabin) 4 40 00 



ABC (open sloop) 2 31 00 Burton (open) 5 00 00 



Nance (cabin) 2 56 00 Comfort (cabin) .5 45 00 



Cabin boats are subject to measurement, but Hilda and ABC each 

 allow for about 2f r. of extra length to Nance, so that the latter wins 

 prize for the cab ; n boats. In the open boats there is no difference in 

 i-ize, so that Kinsey wins not only the first prize for open hoats but 

 also the prize for fastest time over the course, 22b. 19m , the actual 

 time, as the Kinsey was handicapped nearly 4 minutes, and allowing 

 for 4 hours lost by calm, is some'hing pretty good for a 15 footer— 

 110 miles in 18% hours. The weather was so thick that it was hard 

 at times to even see the big range lights. The A B C, an old boat, 

 did some remarkably good sailing. Jib Hank. 



40ft. In setting out to beat her, Mr. Fife, so far from building a 

 narrower boat, as was predicted would be the case under a length 

 and sail area classification, has taken over a foot more beam. At 

 the same time the length has been increased by a foot, while the sail 

 area and displacement have been reduced. The yacht is, however, 

 by no means a machine, but a roomy and comfortable cruising craft, 

 much like Minerva in general features. Her approximate dimen- 

 sions are: 



Len gth over all 55ft. 6in . 



Load water line 37ft. Oin. 



Beam, extreme 10ft. 7in. 



Draft 8ft. 8in. 



Lower mast, deck to hounds 31ft. Oin. 



Topmast 26ft. Oin. 



Boom 41ft. Oin. 



Gaff. 27ft. Oin. 



Base line for measurement 70f t. Oin. 



On deck and below there is rather more room than in Yama. but 

 the arrangement is the same, forecastle, toilet room, main and after 

 cabins. The keel was recast from the old Watson 10 tonner, Verve, 

 No. 1, owned for some years bv Mr. Dick, and broken up last fall. 

 The ironwork was sent out by Mr. Fife, and the sails were made by 

 Lapthorne & Ratsey. Mr. Stanton is building at the same place a 

 centerboard cutter of 30ft. sailing length, whose frams was also sent 

 out by Mr. Fife. She will be owned by Messrs. F. M . Gray and J. 

 Carl Reed, of Toronto.
