Model Competition and Exhibition. 



The London Sailing Club has decided to repeat the model competi- 

 tion and exhibition inaugurated last year, toe conditions of the '93 

 exhibition b^ing as follows. The exliibition promises to be specially 

 interesting to sailing men: 



The large measure of success which attended the exhibition of 

 models aid designs of 1.0 raters, held last March, has induced this 

 club to repeat the esijeriment and to announce another exhibition 

 and competition to ue held at their club house at Hammersmith for 

 half models of boats of 1.0 rating, Y. R. A. measurement, and I\ir. 

 Dixon Kemp has kindly consented to act as judge and to award the 

 prizes. 



It is. however, felt that a boat which might show exceptional qual- 

 ities OQ the smooth ai d shallow water of the upper reaches ot the 

 Thames would be entirely overcanvassed on more open waters, such 

 as the Solejut. and it has, therefore, been decided to divide the exhibi- 

 tion and competition into two cla,s.ses. 



YACHT NEWS NOTES. 



The strong EngU.sh prejudice against centerboards was shown to 

 be still alive at a recent meeting of rfpresentstive Clyde yachtsmen, 

 when aride was pas ed harriug rut ah plate, fin and bulb keels and 

 centerboards from the V, and 23ft. cla.'ises on the Clyde for ti e next 

 five years. This action is undoubtecly the direct result of the tre- 

 nier dous besiine admiiiisiered to the Clyde cracks the past feason 

 by Mr. Allan'.s Berreshoff fin Wcnonah. There seems to be a decided 

 lack of fni cess in this action and strong evidence of narrow minded- 

 oess. If the fins ard centerboards are found to be too smart fo"- the 

 cutters, nhy sbonldn't 'he cutlers be classed by themselves? And if 

 there is so great an antipathy fr-lt by -Scotch yachtsmen in general 

 toward the American ideas as lo preclude the pos^ibilify of a suffi- 

 cient fleet of this class being owned on the Clyde, would it not be 

 more generous to simply tax the Y'ankee craft than to force her into 

 ordinary P The argument of a contemporary that thi= act is an ample 

 deff use in itself for the position so Jong beld by the New Y^ork Y". C. 

 on the America's Cup question seems decidedly weak, although in 

 perfect contistency with the stand held by this paper throughout. 

 .All boats were eligible to contest for the Cup under the original deed 

 of gilt, and inasmuch as the Knglishmen claim that to be the only 

 legal document, they would not in all probabiliiy think of drafiine 

 any additional rules, should they ever win the trophy, to disqualify 

 Yankee ideas. It is true that the Scotchmen stand directly in theii' 

 own light by this action, and they attempt to undo all the progress 

 of recent years and put a heavy tax on originality. It will work 

 against thi-m eventually. At this same meeting restrictions were 

 placed on the sail aiea ot the small classes so that a 23 footer vpill 

 hereafter be taxed to an over all length of 30Et. and to a sail plan of 

 750ft. The i?Et. is restricted to 19tt. over all and to 470tc. of sail 

 spread.— JSo.s<o?7 Transcript. 



Arenel, steam yacht, formerly Narod, is out at Poillon's for a 

 radical re building and re-modelling. Although comparatively a new 

 yacht, but little of the old huU will be u-^ed, besiae the keel and 

 interior joinerwork. Apart frr-m the damage 

 received in a collision last fall, the immedi- 

 ate cause of repairs, it has been necessary 

 to re-limber and re plank the yach% includ-

the damage. The yachts Bell and Duke were totally wrecked. 



On Dec. 17 there sailed from New York for Florida anew auxilliary 

 of small size but most complete in all details. The Alma, desigue'd 

 and built by Ohas. L, Seabury & O'o., for Chas. J. Clarke, of Pitts- 

 burgh, Pa , is .56ft. over all, 45fr.. l.w.l., lOtt, beam and 2ft. 6in draft. 

 She is rigged as a schooner, with a liberal sail plan, and in ad.iiiion 

 she has twin screws, driven by two Daimler motors, of 10 horse- 

 power eacli; eleaia, compact and wilh no smokestact. They set low 

 in a small compartment aft. and occupy I'ltle space: the estimated 

 speed IS 7 miles. The yacht has a trunk 33in. high above deck, large 

 and roomy and well divided. Under the forward deck is a large 

 naphtha tank, and nextabaftis a chain locker and stores. The owner's 

 saloon is loit. long, and fitted with wide comfortable seats each sid^, 

 used for sleeping berths, with storage or clothes lockers underneath. 

 This saloon is finished in cream and gold enamel and is beautifully 

 upholstered in silks, damasks, etc. It has an extension table, book 

 and chart rack, gnn racks, china closet, etc. Aft on the port side is a 

 toilet room acid on the starboard side is a large galley. Aft of galley 

 is motor. The cabins are lighted by eleccricity. and an electric wind- 

 lass, the invention of Louis S. Clarke, a son of the owner, U used lor 

 hoisting the anchors. The yacht will go by canal to Philadelphia and 

 thence by the inland nassage to Florida, her final destination being 

 Lake Worth. Capt. Thos. J. Sillier is in command. 



As the results of the trials made last summf r, contracts have been 

 given out for 75 electric launches for the World's Fair, the Detroit 

 Boat Works building 50 and the Racine Hardware Mfg. Co the re. 

 mainder. The successful launch, which will serve as a model, was 

 iheElectra, designed by Gardner & Mosher. and fitted with electric 

 irstal la' ion by the Electric Launch and Navigation Co., which de- 

 signed and built the batteries and machinery. The vaf ht is 34fr. over 

 all, eit. beam, and the battery includes 78 storage "cells, pacn of 125 

 ampere hours capacitv, the total energy being 3.3.p0 Wa-t-hours. 

 Witn a load of people she made on h^r trial a continuous run of 10 

 miles, at times reaching a speed of II miles. The electric launch Cor- 

 cyra. built for J. J. Astor. and fitied with the same power plant is 

 now out at A\ er's yard for alterations.

(B) Class for models of 1.0 raters suitable for open waters, such as 

 the Solent. 



After carefully considering the Kugge=!tioEs which were made with 

 reference to the former competition, the club regrets that want of 

 space to exhibit the models prevents its making separate f^lasses for 

 professionals and amateurs; hut in order to equalize the chances of 

 amateur designers in competing with professionals, the finish of the 

 model will not be'calciilated as an element of merit, in awarding the 

 prizes, and also for the protection ot professionals, all models and 

 designs entered for the exhibition will remain the property of the 

 persons exhibiting them, and no one will be allowed under 'any cir- 

 cumstances to take any measurements except the judge for the pur- 

 pose of judging. (A member of tne committee of the club will be 

 present throughout the lime the exhibiiion is open to insure the 

 strict observance of this restriction against taking measurements.) 



Entry for the competition must be made by application in writing 

 to the honorary secretarv of the London Sai'iiog Club, and on pay- 

 ment of an entrance fee of ,3s. for each model proposed to be exhibited 

 a card for each proposed exhibit will be furnished containing the 

 exhibitor's name and address. No application for entry will be re- 

 ceived after Fen. 4, tg9-3. 



The model, packed in a box containing drawings and measure- 

 ments, hereafter refprredto, and also the entrance card inclosed in a 

 sealed envelope, marked on the outside "Eatrance Card,'' must be 

 delivered at the club house. Hammersmith, on or before Friday, Feb, 

 17, 189'1. 



In ordei- to avoid eor>fusion it is requested that each box be marked 

 "Class A" or "Class B" as the case may be. 



No exhibitor w i 1, under any circumstances whatever, be awarded 

 a prize in respect of any models or drawings on which his name 

 or identity, ex ept in a .sealed envelope, is in any way diclosed. 



The secretary will, on receipt of the boxes contai.iing the models, 

 mark in ihe order io which they are received a number on each model 

 drawing and sealed envelope, for the puroose of identification 

 The sealed envelopes will not be opened untU after the prizes have 

 been award ■^d.

The drawings and particulars are req'iired by the judge to enable 

 him to torm a correct estimate of the models. Supplying them is, 

 however, optional on the part of the compeutot-.s, but they must 

 understand that tne menfs of .a design mav fail to be observed if a 

 model only is placpd before the judge. A competitor luav, how- 

 evere, m-lose his drawings or particidars in a sealed envelope or 

 wrapper, and mark same "for use of the judge only '' in which 

 event the drawing and particulars will be produced to the judge at 

 the time of his making the award, and afterwards sealed and re- 

 turned to the comnecitor, 



For cla=s A the club will give a first prize of seven guineas for the

New Yachts. 



The most important event of last week was the signing of a cnn- 

 D-aci by ArchilDald Rogers on the one hand and the ITerri»shoif Man- 

 ufacturing Co. on the other for the construction of an 85ft. cutter to 

 meet the new V^alkyrie. Mr. Rogers, who now owns Bedouin and 

 Wasp, is the head of a syndicate of New Y''ork Y. C. members, ihe 

 others being as yet unknown. The material for the new ytichi will 

 be ordered at once, and her keel will be laid as soon as the Carroll 

 yacht is launched. Tne latter is about plated up, and will be ready 

 for the launching about the end of January 



The H?iT»shoffs are putting the cabin joiner work in thw i50ft. 

 steamer, the 30 and 95-foor.er are about completed, and rhey have 

 lately received orders for a catboat and jib and maiosail boat, each 

 20ft. long, for New Yoik. 



Saunders, at Bristol, is building a cutter for C. H. Msniam. of 

 Providence, to be 33ft. 6in. over all. S9ft. Im 1 w.l., and 9ft . draft, also 

 one 2.3ft. l.w.l. for W. G- Lewis, of Brooklyn, and a cemerboard 23fi. 

 over all, 18ft. 6in. l.w.l. and 7ft. beam, for il. Perkins, cf New York. 



At Lawley's yard the White steamer, 95fc. l.w.l , is in frame, a 75ft. 

 steamer is partly in frame, and a 70fc. steamer is completed, while 

 the .55ft. Providence s'eamer is nearly completed. It is reported that 

 the Lawleys have signed the cinlract for the Wacerhouse 46fc. tin- 

 keel for Mr Foster, the yacht to be built of steel. 



Stewart & Binney have designed a aift. knockabout boat, like the 

 Jane ajd Nancy, for Com. J. J. Souther, Hull Y'' O. 



J. Borden, Jr , has designed a 21ft. centerboarder which the &lohe 

 desnribes as follows: 



"The boat will be a centerboard of moderate beam and light draft, 

 but with a heavfly weighted board and a biesail plan. She will he 

 20ft. designed waterline, .3Sft. over all, 9ft. 

 beam and iCin. greatest tjraft. The long 

 overhangs forwa/d and aft are close to the 

 water, and additional power when the boat 

 is heeled is thereby hoped for. A gain will 

 Und-^ubtediy be made aft. for the body ia 

 carried wel' toward the stem and the qtiar- 

 ters are Jow^ but that a corresponding gain 

 can be made forward is doubtful except occa- 

 sionally in a seaway. 



"The model of ihe boat shows a little keel 

 below the sharply turned garboards, a long 

 floor with quite a little dead rise and an 

 easy turn of the bilge into almost a straight 

 side. The waterline.<! shosv no hollow for- 

 ward, and the bow is not greatly different 

 from the one wiitht>.kcs it name from its 

 originators, the Hf rreshoffs. 



"A peculiarly designed foi-m of construc- 

 tion will give the boat great strength to resist 

 twis'lng strains. The board will be of b'a>^s. 

 hollow, and about an inch and a barf in ibii k- 

 ness. In the hollow of the board will be car- 

 ried about 40011 s of shot, so arranged in 

 pocket-sthat when the boaid is up the shot 

 will be distributed over its entire length cf 

 9ft., vvhile ^^ hen it is down the shot will be 

 found massed in its lower corner. 



"For a rudder a flexible brass plate will 

 be used. It will he fastened along tlie keel at 

 its forward end, but wdl be free to play for 

 about 4ft. of its length. To its outer end a 

 curved tiller will be fastened which will come 

 through a well in the counter and through 

 an opening in the washbosra to the cockpit 

 The tiller will be pivoted in the well, and 

 the eflort of moving will bf to bend instead 

 of turn the i udder, as in ordinary usage. 



"Mr. Blclntyre claims ease of steering for 

 this device, which could not be gained wiih 

 the ordinary rudder 



"For a sail plan the boit will have a mast 

 27tt. above tne deck and a bowsprit 10ft out- 

 board. The jib will be 20ft. on the foot 

 with a pole. The meinboom will be SSft. and 

 the gaff 24. The gaff will pean upward very 

 sharply, for the hoist of the mainsail is only 

 17ft. Mr. Mclntyre's own preference in the 

 class is for a fin-keel, and he may build a 

 racer of that type later. 



"Two models cfrecinggl-footers have been 

 made, one by Stewart & Hinney and the 

 other by Smith, the City Point builder. Both 

 models are likely to be built from, particularly if, ihe $500 cup is 

 offered. 



"The Stewart & Binney model is that of a fin-keel of rather high 

 power, though not such an ex'reme in that direction as the Freak. 

 The model shows extremely clean and easy lines throughout, long 

 overhangs and and all the latest ideas of speed. 



"The Smick model is a ceuterooard of light displacement and mod- 

 erate beam -about 8ft. 6in. Th» influence of tne A^pha model Is 

 shown, and Mr. Smith frankly avows that his chief cbj-!ct is t ) beat 

 the Herreshoft" wonder at any cost. If the boit is given a wonden 

 boarf) she will carry some outside lead in the form of a fla. If a 

 mftal bpard is used the fin will be done away wiih. Toe model 

 shows fine hues, considerable dead rise and a very easy bilge. A 

 moiierate sail plan would be given. 



"The three boats just described are the only 21-footers in sight just 

 now, but it is known that others ere in the wind." 



At Bay Ridge, Wintrm?ham has three small yachts under way. all 

 designed by Charles O'msteari. an amaterir. of Brooklyn. The di- 

 mensions of one is over all 37ft . l.w.l. 2:jf .. beam 10ft . drift 4ft 

 Gin., keel 6.0001b lead. She will have a centerboard. The f,, re over- 

 hang is long and the bow quite full. Another is a centerboard HQ- 

 footer. and a third is a keel boat with the fa hionable freak outline, 

 like Wasp; to be Sftt. over all, 26ft. 1 w 1., lift b'-am and 6't. 6in. in 

 draft. Iroquois is wintering on the ways at the yard, ana El Chico 

 is safely housed in a close bui'ding. 



Ayers has nearly finished the sloop and a handsome Spanish cedar 

 dingy for Comrarrioi-e Gerry. He has fit ished th^^ hull of Scarecrow 

 and laid the keel for a second boat of the same siza and model for 

 Mr. BurtiB. of Brooklvn. 



Wallin & Gorman are busy with a number of centerboard boats. 



Soiheim & Abramson. of South Brooklyn, hav*^ finished the stern 

 on Eclipse, and are building a sloop for Major' .1 C. M illory. Corps of 

 Engineers, to be used about St. Augustinp, Fl i. She is mh. over all. 

 22ft. waterline, 14ft. beamani ;lfc draft. They also have in hand 

 the schooner Triton for a new stern. 



C. H Biiven wilt build a schooner for W. H. Pulnam,of N^w York. 

 She will be 76ft. over all. ESft. l.w.l., 17ft fiin. in beam. 4ft. 8iu. m 

 drift. The woik wUi be done at the foot of Twenty-fifth street, South 

 Brooklvn, 



At Essex. Mass . Story is building a fishing schooner fronri designs 

 by Thomas F. McManus, an amateur, the designer of the " Gloriana 

 Fisherman" of lasty ar. She will b^ ll4Pt. over all, 94ft. 6m. l.w.l., 

 24ft. 6ra. beam. lOf c. hold and 12ft 3iu. draft. 



At City Island Piepgrass is bu.sy with the alterations to Titanis, und 

 Wood & Son have a large force at work on the Mosher steamer, hav- 

 ing greatly improved their shops and lil.int. 



Yachts at the World's Fair. 



In view of the attendance of yachts at the World's Fair, the Yaplit' 

 Club, recently organized in Chicago, has planned very extensive im- 

 provements to the lake front for the accommodation of a 1 ^rge fleet. 

 In accordance with these plana, an ordinance was introduced before 

 the Common Council on Dec. 8 , providing for th» construction of a 

 naval academy Hnd a yacht club house on Eist End Park. The pre- 

 amble of the resolution recires that rhe lake commerce of the city 

 should be promo'ed, and rhflt knowledge, skill and experionce in 

 navigation anfi seamfluship among the people of Chicago sho dd be 

 encouraged Tne ordinance B-ovides that the public ground lying 

 between Fifty first and Fifty third streets and the lake shore, and 

 the harbor in front thereof be devoted to a naval park and harbor 

 for yachts and other vessels not engaged in c immerce. Permissi in 

 is given to the yacht club described as a voluntary association for the 

 purpose of creatiog a naval academy to carry on in the park sacli 

 naval aoadetny. • » •»
