FOREST AND STREAM. 



[JULT 28, 1891. 



SAILING CLUBS.— The ereat increase of what, for want of a 

 better name, may be called boat sailing to distingnish it from 

 yacht racing, the branch of the sport which concerns itsplf with 

 craft between the fully-decked yacht on the one hand and the 

 rowboat, canoe or canoe-yawl on the other, receives a practical 

 recognition this year for the first time in Lloyd's Yacht Register; 

 there being a separate list of ;.'4 sailing clubs, mostly British, though 

 a few are continental. Such clubs are few in number in America, 

 but there is a wide field for them in all parts of the country, es- 

 pecially inland, where yachting in its widest sense is impossible. 

 One result of the recent progress in yachting is the multiplication 

 of types of pmall craft. Not many years ago almost the only small 

 sailing boat to he found was the wide and shoal calboat. whose 



bility for capsizing made utterly unfitted for general use. Now 

 be boat sailor can choose from a score of different models of safe 

 and fast little craft, ieel or centerboard, suitable for all varieties 

 of use. The danger which was once such a serious drawback to 

 the use of small sailing craft has very largely disappeared with 

 the iutroduotion of better models, and boat sailing may now be 

 classed as one of the pleasantest and most commendable forms of 

 outdoor sport. With craft properly adapted to the local condi- 

 tionf, a successfttl club maybe formed on almost any Ijody of 

 water hulf a mile or more in extent and not incumbered with 

 rocks or other obstructions, nor too closely surrounded by trees. 



TIDAL WAVE.— With the loss of the Tidal Wave last week 

 there has passed away another of the once famous fleet of large 

 schooners whose numbers are rapidly growing less. The Tidal 

 Wave was built in 1870 for Com. Wm. Voorhis. of the Atlantic Y. 

 C, at the yard of the late .las E Smith, at Nyack-on-the-Hudson, 

 The model was the work of her owner and builder together, and 

 she was in every way a good example of the extreme American 

 type. Her dimensions were: Length over all, 119ft. 3in.; l.w.l., 

 lOTft. 6in.; l)eam, 25ft.; draft, 7ft. 6in. The original waterline was 

 shorter than this, the bow being lengthened in 1874. Over the 

 courses then sailed, mostly running and reaching between the 

 Battery and the Lightship, she was very fast. Her model is 

 briefly but clearly described in the single phrase by which, after 

 the Indian fash'on, she was at one time known to fame, "Snake- 

 with-a-Toad-in-its-Belly." She enjoyed the distinction at one 

 time of having the most expensive interior fittings of the fleet, 

 having been purchased by Daniel Cook, a wealthy Californian. 

 who refitted her at a gr^at outlay. After his death she was for a 

 long time on the sale list, being finally purchased by Com. T. W. 

 Dawson, of the Newark Y. C, in 188i> In 1889 she was purchased 

 by Dr. Ranney, of the New York and Atlantic clubs. 



LIGHT DL'ES EROM YACHTS.— The "born sportsmen," whose 

 eft'ovts to hamper and annoy yachtsmen met with such a general 

 condemnation last winter, are off ou a new tack, and one which 

 promises a great deal of trouble to yacht owners. An attempt is 

 now being made to collect light dues of 50 cents per ton from tt)e 

 steam yacht Comjueror, Mr. F. W. A'anderhiJt, at New York, 

 while Mr. F. P. Sands, of Newport, has been notified that his I'ut- 

 ter Uvira will be compelled to pay the same amount per ion it' she 

 sails from Newport. This isbad enough inthelattcr (■■■ise, Fvira's 

 tonnage being only about 20, but when it comes to a niattei ot ?bfi 

 tons, or S193, it is siill more serious. What is evidently regarded 

 as "sport" by Commissioner Bates is nothing but death to yacht- 

 ing. 



LAKE ONTARIO YACHTING.— Theseasonisnowin full swing 

 on Lake Ontsrio, the Lake Yacht Ricing Association being on its 

 annual circuit. The first race was sailed at Hamilton, Ontario, at 

 the extreme western end of the lake, on July I t, the second and 

 thii-d at Toronto ou Thursday and Friday, the fourth at Roches- 

 ter, N. Y., on Monday, and the final race will be sailed to-day at 

 Oswego. The round is shorter, Belleville and Kingston being left 

 out this year, as well as the stop at Coburg, and there is one less 

 race. At the same time the cruise promises to be as great a suc- 

 cess as usual, with plenty of sociability and friendly intercour.se. 

 and s^me very good racing. 



MASSACHUSETTS Y. C. 46FT. CLASS, JULY 16. 



THE special race of the Massachusetts Y. C. on Tuesday Jast off 

 Marblehead reetilted in a very fine contest between the keel 

 Oweene and the centerboard Beatrix; a light weather race, bttt 

 under such even conditions as to make it niteregting throughout. 

 The day was also notable as the flrst performance of the new Fife 

 4(3, Barbara, though her work was very poor, the 40-footer Gos- 

 soon beating her on corrpcted time. The race was for a §250 cup. 

 th' course being the 24 mile triangle of the Eastern Y. C, starting 

 oflP Marblehead Rock, turning the Graves Whistling Buoy and the 

 E. Y. C. mark, and home, 8 miles on each leg. Beside the tour 

 boats named. Alborak is not yet in satisfactory form, in spite of 

 her alterations, but she wan at the line and sailed in company 

 with the racers at times. Sayonara only arrived from the west 

 on Tuesday morning, going at once to Lawlej's for repairs. She 

 will have new chain plates and a third shroud, her sides will be 

 strengthened, her bowsprit will be shorteued 18in. and her main- 

 sail recut. 



The starters were Oweene, sailed by Capt. Chas. Barr, with her 

 owner. Mr. A. B. Turner, on board; Beatrix, c.b., sailed by C"pt. 

 Crof ker and Dr. John Bryant; Barbara, sailed by her owner. Mr. 

 C. H. W. Foster; and Gossoon. 40ft., sailed by Mr. Chas. F. Adams, 

 The wind was light from S.W., making a beat over the flrst leg. 

 The start was from one gun, and Capt. Barr was ready in season 

 when the first signal was given at 11:04. Go.98oon had picked her 

 berth, to cross on starboard lack and to windward, with Beatrix 

 hansing to her weather quarter, but as the whistle sounded at 

 11:09 Osveene came along on port tack, crossiug Gossoon's bows, 

 and tacl<ing so close on be)' weather that the little fellow caught 

 the back draft from Oweene's mainsail. Barbara presumably 

 had bttsmess up at the mouth of tne harbor at starting time as 

 she was in that u'lartev at a safe distance from the line, and 

 cr' s ed with a handicap of 2m. 15s. Oweene crossed within .5s., 

 Gossoon 8s. and Beatrix 133. 



Almost liom the i.tart the quartet broke up in*o two couples, 

 Oweene and Beatrix at once openirg out on Gossoon, while Bar- 

 bara's handicap madp it her first task to catch the 40 footer 

 ahead of her before trying conclusions with her real classmates. 

 Af ""er a few short tacks Oweene and Beatrix were close together, 

 off shoxe, while Barbara and Go=isoon were t'gether inshore. The 

 leaders earned lower sails and club topsails, iho two inshore also 

 carrying baby jibtopsails. Albnrak had started to leeward of the 

 fleet, but was falling astern. Beatrix made a hard flght to get 

 through Oweene's lee, but was never able to draw clear, while 

 footing evenly with the only black boat, in the Burgess fleet. As 

 they went on it became evident tliat while Oweeue was easily 

 able to hold her white rival in distance, she was at the same time 

 gradually but decidedly weathering out nn her. 



After a time Beatrix set her jibtopsail, Oweeue followiny; and 

 a little l-iter the white boat begeu a series of short tacks, five or 

 six in all, in each of which she was quickly met by Oweene, the 

 latter not only keeping her lead through all of these wily man- 

 euvers, hut actually haviug increased it when Beatrix gave up 

 the tacking and the two settled down to business again. The 

 wmd had falhn lighter, and Oweene seemed to gain more. 

 Finally, when she was so far ahead that Beatrix had no chance of 

 catching her as they w^re going, the latter luffed out across her 

 wake and at the same time dropped perceptibly astern. Gossoon 

 and Barbara had been fighting along inshore, the advantage 

 being with the smaller boat until well up with the mark. The 

 times at the Graves were: 



Elapsed. 



Oweene 1 18 30 2 09 2(1 



Beatrix 1 23 28 2 14 28 



Barbara - 134 30 S 25 30 



Gossoon 1 35 45 2 45 



W^iih splnaker boom lowered to starboard, 0 wee to eased oft 

 around the buoy and broke out her sail yery promptly: Beatrix 



also being very well handled at the mark. The run was with a 

 very light air, the leaders holding to southward so that they had 

 to take in spinakers and iibe whf>n a couple of miles from the 

 second mark, carrying balloon jibtopsails up to it. The times of 

 the four on the 8-mile run were practically the same, as the follow- 

 ing shows: 



Elanspd. 



Oweene .... 2 26 45 1 08 25 



Beatrix 2 83 00 1 08 32 



Barbara... 3 43 30 1 08 00 



Gossoon 3 44 30 1 08 45 



On the second leg Alborak fell in with the racers again, having 

 cut across inside the Graves and set spinaker. She did little, 

 and soon dropped out. 



The last leg was a close reach with more wind, heading the 

 yachts so that Oweene and Beatrix barely made the finish in a 

 single stretch, while Barhara and Gossoon were obliged to tack. 

 The boats were timed at the line: p;iapsed. Elapsed. 



la^tlpg. whole course. 



Oweene 3 33 04 1 05 19 4 33 04 



Beatrix .S 37 13 1 05 13 4 28 13 



Barbara 3 52 57 1 11 27 4 43 57 



Gossoon ; 4 00 12 1 15 4;^ 4 51 13 



None of the boats being measured the corrected times are not 

 known, but the order would be the same as by elapsed time, save 

 that Gossoon would beat Barbara. Though a light weather race, 

 there was no fluking, but the work on the first leg, in which 

 Oweene made nractically all her gain, was very fair and even so 

 far as the conditions were concerned; and though more wind 

 would have added to the excitement there could be no fairer test 

 of the two boats. Barbara's performance was so very poor that 

 if it is any index of her merit she would be the last nf the whole 

 ela-ss; but in view of the woi-k done by Minerva and Yama. to say 

 notuing of Jessica's performances when well soiled, her failure 

 in the first race must he laid to the handling and not the model. 

 All of the fl-^et have now raced except the Vanderbilt boat, 

 Ilderim, and from their performances it would be safe to say that 

 Gloriana will head the class at the end of the season, with 

 Ovveene. Beatrice and Sayonnra about on even terms after hpr. 

 Where Barbara will come out must deppud entirely upon her 

 handling; if she were in the hands of either of the Barrs we 

 should place her among the flrst three boats in the class. The 

 management of the ra''e was well carried out by the rpga.tta com- 

 mittee, Messrs. L. K. Clark, W. O. Gay, C. H. Guild, H. B. Torrey 

 and W. T. Mann. 



THE FUNERAL OF MR. BURGESS.

Mrs. Burgess was not well enough to be present. Handsome 

 floral designs were sent by the Eastern, New York, Corinthian 

 and other clubs, by George Lawley & Son and other yachtsmen. 

 Flags were half-masted by yacht clubs and on vessels generally 

 about Boston and New York. The Eastern Y. C. passed the fol- 

 lowing resolutions: 



"The council of the Eastern Y. C, desiring to record their a.p- 

 preciation of the valuable service rendered to the club by its laie 

 secretary, Edward Burgess, unanimously resolve 



"That his years of faithful service as secretary and as general 

 adviser in all yachting matters have been of inestimable and last- 

 ing value to the club. 



"That by the death of Mr. Burgess the club has lost one of its 

 most highly esteemed members, whose life for more than twenty 

 years has been closely identified with it progress and with, the 

 advancement of its best interests. 



"That the marked ability displaved by Mr. Burgess as a naval 

 architect, while earning him a world-wide reputation, has reflected 

 great honor and credit upon the Eastern Y. C, and while his fame 

 as a designer is a source of pride to every yachtsmon in the coun- 

 try, his intimate connection with the Eastern Y. C. makes that 

 fame peculiarly our own. 



"That his cheerful and obliging dispositiou, his readiness to 

 render friendly assistance, his generosity and kindness of heart, 

 with the many other admirable traits which endeared him to us 

 all, must ever bo held in affectionate rememorance." 



Similar measures have been passed by the New Y^ork, Corinth- 

 ian of N. Y. and other yacht clubs. Mr. Burgess's will is dated 

 July 8, 1885, and gives the testator's properly in trust to his wife, 

 the income to be paid to her for her support until her d- ath, and 

 then the income to be used for the support of the children until 

 the youngest attains the age of twenty-five years, then the prop- 

 erty is to be divided equally among the children or their heirs. 

 If the children do not survive the mother, at her death the prop- 

 erty is to be placed in the hands of the trustees of the Boston 

 Society of Natural History. The society is to hold it as a perma- 

 nent fund, the income to be applied by them for the interests of 

 the society. The testator's wife and Augustus P. Loring are ap- 

 pointed executors and trustees.

 took command, having with him Fleet Captain Church. The first 

 run was to Indian Harbor, where Com. Canton joined the fleet on 

 Sunday. On Nonday the fleet ran to Morris Cove. 



IOTA. 



SJ^-nATER, 



IN two recent issues, July 3 and 9, we have given the lines of one 

 of the 2}4-rating clasp, or 35ft. corrected length by Am°rican 

 rules. The yacbtwhose lines are h°re given is of the same rating 

 but of a different type, being shorter, wider and carrying more 

 sail. A special interest attaches to her from the fact that she is 

 very much ot the modern American typ.^, and being designed by 

 Ml-. Wm. Fife, Jr., she is very similar to the boats which have 

 lately made him so well known on this sid' of the water. The 

 design, we should state, is reproduced from our French contem- 

 porary, Lc TacM, being carefully enlarged from a small drawing 

 m that paper. 



A classification by waterline length, as generally used in Amer- 

 ica up to this time, has never been popular in Great Britain, being 

 conflned mainly to Southampton and the Solent, where it pro- 

 duped a fleet of wide and deep keel boats nf 20 to 30ft. l.w.l. These 

 "lengthers," as they were called, were totally dift'orent from the 

 boats built under the tonnagp rule of the Y. R, A. during the 

 same period, about 1883 to 1887, and were very much of the type 

 that has been so common in America since the latter date, such 

 yachts as Pappoose, Liris and Kathleen. The general introduc- 

 tion of the length and sail area rule in Groat Britain in 1887 

 quickly disposed of the "lengthers," as they could not compete 

 successfully with the more moderate type produced by the now 

 rule. 



Another club which has classed by waterline length for some 

 years is the Bangor Corinthian Saibng Club, of Belfast Lough, 

 Ireland; a club in which sailing and racing has been care fully 

 fostered. Though still adhering to its length limits— 18, 31 and 



"IOTA," MIDSHIP SECTION. 



25ft.— the club has at the same time placed a limit on excessive 

 sail plans and paved the way for the complete adoption of the new 

 Y. R. A. rule bv limiting the 31ft. l.w.l. class to a total rating of 

 2)4. while the 18ft. class is limited to 1.25 rating. 



We may mention in passing that this smaller class has been 

 enlarged this year by the addition of four new boats, all of the 

 same design, iioth hull and sail plans, by Mr. Fife, the dimensions 

 being: Length over all, 20ft; Iwl., 18ft., beam, 6fl. 3ra.; draft, 

 4ft. They are keel boats, with iron keels, rigged with simple lug 

 mainsails and jibs, the cost of each being about .S300. 



lota is one of three 31-footers built for the club by Mr. Fife in 

 1889, from his own design, and which have raced together and with 

 other boats for the past two seasons. In 1889 lota's record was 23 

 starts, 13 flrst prizes, 7 other prizes, and at the end of last season 

 it stood 46 starts in the two years, with 19 first and 14 other prizes. 

 During the winter she was sold by her original owner, Mr. A. S, 

 Matier, to Mr. Boyu, of Douarneuez, France, and we find the fol- 

 lowing accotmt of her passage from Bangor to her new port in a 

 late number of the FieM: 



"M. Boyn and one sailor have sailed Iota from Bangor, Belfast 

 Lough, out to France. She is a half-deckpd boat, \vith a small 

 batch for bad weather, cutter rigged, and 31ft. on the w^ater line. 

 Although a good little sea boat, she is not the kind of yacht every 

 one would care to make a passage round the south of England in. 



"M Boyn and his man started from Bangor on May 20 with a 

 nice breeze from N.E , keeping the Irish land as far as the South 

 Rock Ligbtship, and then across the channel to the Calf of Man, 

 arriving there at 4 A. j\I. the next morning. A course was taken 

 for Holyhead with a fair wmd, which increased so much that the 

 mainsail had to be stowed and trysail s^t. At night Holyhead, by 

 c Uculation, should have been abeam, but it was dark and thick 

 and no lights visible, so Iota was laid to. Next morning the Linns 

 Light was made out; the sea and wind had gone down, and sail 

 was made. Passing Holyhead, Bardsly Point w^aa reached in the 

 evening. 



"Next morning she was close to Cardigan Lightship; the wind 

 increased to a stiff ijreeKe and, thn weather looking bad, she was 

 sailed into Cardigan River, arriving at 7 P. M. Strong h- ad winds 

 kept her five days in liarbor. Fishguard was made next, and two 

 days spent there. Going to sea again, RamseySound was reached; 

 there wa= a. heavy sea runnirg and a strong S.E. wind, so the try- 

 sail was set. Off .'--Icompf Island the eea was very liad, and the 

 punt was rolled over and had to be cut adrift and lost. Iota was 

 safe.lv worked into Milford River and anchored in Pembroke 

 Dock.
