"whicli shall not be exceeded," by removing ballast and cutting down 

 sail; thus throwing- away before he started all hope of winning. 



What is now being done to Navaboe, the transfer of lead from 

 inside to outside, will make her still deeper; while it is unlikely that 

 her actual draft can be reduced to the limit of the original design. 

 Very fortunately for Mr. Carroll, there is nothing in the conditions of 

 the Eoyal Victoria Cup which resembles the "dimension clause " of 

 the new dee4, and he is at liberty to increase both draft and beam at will. 



American a.nd British Designers. 



Odk friend of Toim Topics, in answer to ovu- comments of last weelt, 

 soxmds the familiar slogan of "Anglomaniac," and then proceeds to 

 ovenYhelm us with some musty and irrelevant facts concerning Com. 

 Stevens's experiments made half a century ago. We profess to know 

 a little of ancient history; we have seen pi-oof that the Ark had the 

 characteristic bow of the Olaphain Bouncer, and we know tliat the 

 Phoenician gallevs carried their shrouds to the masthead instead of 

 the hounds, andsetthem up withturDbneldes InsteadVif tloadeyos, but 

 at the same time we willingly yield the pahn in matters archaic to our 

 friend, recognizing us fully as he docs that there are few recent in- 

 ventions in yachting tliat have not been experimented with in the 

 past. Where we differ with him is in his efforts of late to prove that 

 the whole knowledge of yacht desigumg is confined to TJucle Sam's 

 dominions, and that "furrin" designers are sitting quietly by waiting 

 to see what Mr. Herreshbif will do next, in readiness to copy him. 



In our opinion the modem yacht designers, whether'American, 

 Scotch, French or English, are a specially bright lot of men, who are 

 working hard in a fair and generous competition, in which one or an- 

 other is ahead in tm-n for a short season. 



Without going back to the Ark, or even to Com. Stevens' Arkahaye, 

 the proof of this may be found in the evolution of racing yachts in 

 America since 1880. The keel sloop'of that day, found only a'bout Bos- 

 ton, was essentially of the national centerboard model, wide, shoal in 

 body with straight futtocks. moderate deadrise and hard bilge, in 

 fact often built from the moulds of a centerboard boat, her keel bemg 

 a deep slab of deadwood loaded with iron. 



In 1882 the cutter Lapwing was built by Lawley from a design im- 

 ported from England of an Itchen length class boat of that period; at 

 the same time Lawley built the Mona, from the pubUshed designs of 

 a wide lO-tonner and Vayu from his own designs, and from this tima 

 on a large numher of Avide cutters were built in Boston and New 

 York, all modeled closely on the Itchen length class boats, one of 

 which, Daisy, was brought out here. 



The Itchen boats themselves underwent considerable change in 

 form between 1882 and;i88C, but when Pappoose, the first of the modern 

 American keel boats, miscalled sloops, was designed by Mr. Burgess 

 in 1887, she showed a very close resemblance to the later boats. In 

 many points of model she was superior, and her modified cutter rig, 

 with laced mainsail, was decidedly better than the morfydite sloop 

 rig of Lil, Curtsey and Eclipse, the Southampton racers, but she was 

 not only like them in general form and proportions, but distinctly un- 

 like any American yachts. 



Pappoose was followed by Baboon, Xara, Mariquita, Tomahawk 

 and many similar models of 20ft. and 40ft. length, the "meat chopper" 

 sheer plan, taken from the Itchen boats, finding its extreme develop- 

 ment in Mariquita and Tomahawk in 1889. 



By this time the Itchen length class had passed out of existence, and 

 British designers were busy on a distinctly different type under the 

 new rule, the under water sheer plan now assuming the deep triangle 

 of Minerva, a marked advance on the American 40-footers. Under the 

 stress of hard racing, this in time gave way in a new class of Itchen 

 craft to the wide shoal body and deep fin of all modern craft. 



In this course of evolution and adaptation Mr. Bm-gess has impressed 

 his influence in a combination of lead and depth with beam, and in a 

 greatly improved form of cutter rig. Mr. Herreshoff has made a radi- 

 cal step in adopting a form of waierline never before attempted by 

 yacht designers, and in carrying the fin principle to an extreme by 

 concentrating the weight in a lead bulb. The fin itself, coupled with 

 the modern wine-glass section, originated with Mr. Payne, as we have 

 shown. The keel outhne, now familiar through the Wasp and thenew 

 Herreshoff boats, was proved a success over ten years ago by the late 

 Lieut. Saefkow, the brilliant German amateur, and was described by 

 him in print, though, xmder then existing conditions, its advantages 

 were not appreciated by other designers. 



Just now there is a general mixture of "freak" and other novel fea- 

 tures, and the discovef.y of one designer is soon the property of all, so 

 that it is very difficult in many case's to give credit where it is due. 



A close and impartial study of the whole course of designing for the 

 past ten years will show that the two great yachting nations travel 

 closely together, now one in advance and now the other, neither party 

 being able to claim a monopoly of the entu-e art and science of design- 

 ing. 



New Yachts. 



The result of a good deal of saiUng during the last thi-ee weeks, 

 during which time the centerboard has been shipped and the sails 

 hare been worked into better shape, is to show that Navahoe is still 

 unable to carry her sail properly, wlfile at the same time she is from 

 two to three inches below her designed waterUne. Arrangements 

 have consequently been made to haul her up in the dry dock at Provi- 

 dence and remove soTue twenty tons of lead, which wUl bo replaced by 

 a lead keel bolted outside the regular steel skin. The details of the 

 work have been carefully provided for in advance, the lead being cast, 

 in twelve pieces, by the firm of Thos, PhlUips & Co., of Providence. 

 It was expected that the yacht would be docked on Sunday night, but 

 the dock was engaged and the date was postponed to Wednesday. 

 The new keel has been cast in Phillips & Co.'s foundry and will be 

 taken to the drj^dock on a tug. After the yacht is hauled out each 

 piece will in turn be Jacked into place. Templets have been made 

 showing the location of every frame, and from these holes wiU be 

 drilled in the lead keel while still in the shop. When once in place 

 under the yacht, a portable drill operated by a flexible shaft will be 

 set up imderneath, and the holes will be drilled through the keel plate, 

 avoiding all frames, and up into the remaining inside lead. The holes 

 will then be tapped and special tap bolts screwed in. 



The exact amount of lead to he removed is not known, nor the 

 amount which will bo replaced on the keel, but the probabilities are 

 that about twenty tons will represent both amounts, and that while 

 the yacht will be stiffer she will still be on the wrong bide of her 

 designed waterline. 



The yacht will sail from Newport about the end of this month, and 

 once on the other side will refit and take part in the Clyde regattas 

 early in July. 



The shops at Bristol are well emptied, the Austrian and Southamp- 

 ton boats have been shipped and on May 19, a new Alpha, named Kite, 

 was sent away to Lake Minnetonka, leaving one similar boat in the 

 shop. The Eite is some 28ft. over all, 22ft. l.w.1. and 8ft. beam, with a 

 Tobin bronze hoai'd raised by a tackle under the forward deck. She 

 is verj^ lightly built, the outer skin of mahogany, with a canvassed 

 deck. She has a balance rudder and two travelers, one on the after 

 side of the transom or counter. 



The fli-st syndicate boat Golonia was launched on May 1.5, the launch 

 being private, as in the case of Navahoe. A view of the yacht prior 

 to the launch showed a body very similar to Wasp, last year's 40- 

 footer, but finer on the waterhne, very clean fore and aft, with a light 

 bilge aud ea.sy diagonals, the middle strafce of plating, on the bilge, 

 lying very fail- from stern to taffrail. 



The general keel contour is similar to Wasp, a straight keel cut away 

 under the mast, sternpost with 80 to 35 degrees of rake, and a convex 

 stem, or Koman nose. The counter, however, is quite different from 

 Wasp and Gloriana, being ciliptical on deck, more Uke such old sloops 

 as Vision and Fanny. 'I'ho boat is in and out plated, the steel work 

 being very good. Outside, of the hull proper is a lead keel some 2ft. 

 deep and widened into a perceptible bulb shape. The placing of an 

 outside lead keel on a steel boat is so very unusual as to awaken much 

 comment, and ophuons differ as to whether this was a part of the 

 original plan, or was an after thought, consequent on the lack of sta- 

 bility which KaTabo.-. In:-: : [m,v. ii. The reason given by Mr. N. G. Her-

Slausible, aud it iiiaj- i.. Ui;i,t iiuJead keel was a part of the original 

 esiigu. 



At any rate the addition of the lead has upset the calculations of 

 certain parties who hiive flur-ing the winter been in possession of 

 secret sourer-;- .m i', m 1 1, .,, i; , yachts. This in-

 presents an immense ai-ea, broken forward by two very large gammon 

 irons. Her beam is so great that the gollery on the south side of the 

 shop has been partly wit away, Hbe Iiaa five chain plates for main 

 and toiJinast shrouds. The hull Is panite.d white above and green

 completed, aud a pile onver was at work last week setue , i ■■ .v., vn 



for the launch. The Tobin bronze makes a beautiful bottom, the 

 plates having a poUshed surface from the start. 



The sternpost is a bronze casting, hollowed in the after side so as 

 to allow of space for riveting the plates, its cross section being simi- 

 lar to a half I beam. The lugs for the rudder gudgeons are cast solid, 

 aud the heel of the post runs down below the line of keel in a way which 

 indicates that in this yaclit, at least, the outside lead is not an after- 

 thought. The keel is some 42\n. wide on the bottom and perfectly fiat 

 across: the centerboard slot being 4 or 5in. wide, a confirmation of the 

 report that unlike Navahoe's board, which is of IJ^in. solid steel plate, 

 this yacht will have a hollow steel board, filled partly with lead. 



At Saunders' j'ard, Bristol, the large yawl has been completed and 

 dehvered, and the complete frame for a 30-footer has been received 

 from Fife's yard at Pairhe. The yacht, which is for J. B. mils, of New 

 York, will be a keel boat, 46ft. over all, 30ft. l.w.l., 9ft. .5in. beam and 

 Oft. 6in. draft, with some five tons of lead on keel. The entire frame 

 has been set up and marked, so that it will go together. The frames 

 are of oak, and all parts have been varnished. 



At Lawley's yard the fin-keel Carmita is about ready for launching. 

 Wilde the plating of the Paine boat is completed and the fin is partly 

 built. The fore centerboard trunk is a smaU aperture about 3ft. 6in. 

 long fore and aft. The White steamer Varuna was launched on May 

 16, and the Thayer steamer Aquilo is nearly completed. One of the 

 handsomest small boats we have yet seen, both in model and build, is' 

 the double skin 21-footcr built bv Lawleys from Stewart & Binney's 

 designs, a fln-keel of about Oft. Gin. draft. Unlike the Herreshoff fins, 

 she has the ordinary rudder hung on a small triangular fin, the same 

 plan being used in the Paine boat." 



The schooner yacht designed by Wiutringham and bmltbyS. L. 

 Moore & Son for J. Roger MaxweU was launched successfully on May 

 10 at EUzabethport, bemg christened by Miss Maxwell, a niece of the 

 owner. The launch of Com. B. F. Sutton's schooner Loyal at Podlon-s 

 yard will take place to-day. 



The Seabury Works at Nyack. 



Thotoh comparatively ;i young concern, the firm of Charles L. Sea- 

 bury & Co., of Nyack eu the-Hndson, has built up a reputation for the 

 best of work in all lirauehes of steam yacht building, and their yachts 

 are now met with in all parts of the country. In designing tlie firm 

 has been successful in turning out a number oi: excellent niodels, both 

 for high speed and cruising: tlie engines and boiler of tlio yachts are of 

 its own design; and in consii-uction the large and well equipped shops 

 are equal to all requirements of hull, boiler and engine building. Dur- 

 ing the winter the shops have been busy, and much of the work is now 

 nearing completion. This week they will launch a small yacht of 

 novel design, the Anemone, a twin screw launch of 4.3ft. length, 8ft. 6m 

 beam, 4ft. depth and 2ft. draft, designed by them for L. B. Crocker, 

 of Bu&'alo, N. Y. The hull is of the best material throughout. Keel 

 is of white oak, also frames and floor timbers, stem of hackmatack, 

 natural crook. Planking of selected white cedar, copper fastened and 

 riveted to timbers; sister keelsons running full length of boat 

 on either side (inside) of yellow pine, carrying the main weight 

 of boiler and engmes, the decks are of white pine, laid in narrow strips. 

 The interior is finished in ash and oak, with lockers under all seats and 

 locker under forward deck. Collision brdkhead at bow, and bulkhead 

 fore and aft of machinery. The hull is painted white outside to water- 

 line, below waterline a copper composition paint is used. There is also 



South Boston Y. C. 



! The regatta committee of the South Boston Y. C. has been vigor- 

 ously at work for some time to make a success of the eighteenth open 

 regatta, to be held off City Point on May 30. The continued wet 

 weather has so interfered with the work of fitting out and launching 

 that the racing fleet will hardly be ready by that time, but with 

 favorable weather for the next ten days a good list of starters is pro- 

 bable. The conditions of the race are as follows: 



Open to yachts of .35ft. and not less than 15ft. sailing length, en- 

 x-oUed in any yacht chib, and all boats imder 13ft. sailing length, 

 whether or not belonging to any yacht club. The prizes, classifications 

 and measurement:s are as follows: 



First Class— All > aobts d,5f c. and not over Saft. sailing length. First 

 prize §30, second prize S15. 



Special Class— All jib and mainsail yachts under 21ft. w.l. First 

 prize S20, second prize SlO. 



Second Class— All yachts 20ft. aud less than 25ft. sailing length. First

Third Class— All yachts l.?ft. and less than 20ft. sailing length. First 

 prize .^15, second prize $10, third prize go. 



Fourth Class— All yachts measuring under 15ft. First prize $S, sec- 

 ond prize $5, third prize P. 



One-half of first x>rv/.e. will be awarded for a walkover. No second 



grize vsill be awarded uides.s three or more yachts compete. No 

 ihd prize will be awai-ded unless four or more j'achts compete. No 

 fourth prize will be aw.irded unless five or more vaohts compete. 



3Ieasurejjieut will be waterline plus one-fifth forward and after 

 overhang equals sailing length, which will be the basis of time allow- 

 ance for all classes according to the Herreshoff table of allowances. 

 Schooners will sail at seven -eighths of their sailing length. 

 The courses are as follows: 



The starting pomt will be an imaginary line drawn between judges' 

 yacht and flag boat. 



First Class— From startmg point to Red Spar Buoy No. 3 off Thompr 

 sou's, leaving it on the starboard down the west way, leaving Thomp- 

 son's and Rainsford's islands on the starboard, Long and George's

a gold stripe around hull below guard moulding. All upper works 

 and inside of boat are varnished, natural color of the wood. The 

 machinery consists of two fore and aft compound engines. Sea- 

 bury design, with feed and air pumps connected. The bofler is of the 

 Seabury patent safety watertube type. In addition to feed pump on 

 engines, two auxihai-y duplex steam pumps are suppUed, The engine 

 room floor and the coal bunkers are of sheet steel. The engines and 

 boiler are both of the most approved pattern. The model of the boat 

 is of the best, and in designing great care has been taken to secure 

 seaworthiness and comfort, with a good roomy cockpit and cabin on 

 a light draft. The stern is square, the same style as the Govei-nment 

 launches. The speed will be about twelve miles per hour. The saloon 

 is aft, 13ft. long, fitted with plate glass windows arranged to raise or 

 lower. In the forward part of the saloon is fitted a butfet, with glass 

 racks, srnaU ice box, etc. Lockers m-e on each side and wide enough 

 to aUow comfortable sleeping on same. The bulkhead forward of 

 saloon is fitted with a sliding glass door. In the after part of saloon, 

 with partition sepai-attug f rom saloon proper, a toilet room is arranged 

 with w. c, wash basin, etc. There is an entrance to saloon from after 

 deck by door and sHding companiouway. The front part of forward 

 cockpit at steering wheel is inclosed with plate glass windows for 

 storm use, which extend to first stanchion supporting roof. Canvas 

 side or storm curtains are fitted in forward cockpit to roll down and 

 fasten on coaming. There are also brass rails on decks fore and aft. 

 The yacht is lighted by electricity throughout, and is without doubt 

 the most complete and modern twin sci-ew steam launch of her size 

 afloat. She will be used by her owner on Lake Erie and vicinity, and 

 her first trip wfil be to Buffalo from Nyack. 



Messrs. Seabury & Co. are also building an 80-foot high speed steam 

 yacht, which is to run 18 to 20 miles per hour. She will be fitted with 

 a Seabury triple expa.nsion enguie and a Seabury patent safety water 

 tube bofler. 



The auxiliary twin screw schooner-rigged yacht Alma has just 

 returned from the South and is now at the works, where she will lie 

 fitted with two fore and aft compound engines and a Seaburj' patent 

 safety water tube boiler, to replace the oil engines now in her. She is 

 in charge of Capt. Thos. I MUler. 



The steam yacht Strae, Mr. Thomas A. Mclntyre, N. Y. Y. C, has 

 just returned from Jacksonvflle, Fla., and other Southern points, 

 where she has been cruising during the past five or six months, and 

 is now at the yards fitting out again for summer cruising. Capt. 

 Geo. D. Purdy is in command. 



The steam yacht Embla, now building for jyir. John H. Hanan, is 

 nearing completion very rapidly and will be ready for launching in a 

 short time. The interior cabinet work is advancing, the deck houses 

 are on, and the machinery and boiler work is well along. Capt. Wm. 

 E. Torrey will have charge of the Embla and Wm. B. Thompson wUl 

 be chief engineei-. 



The steam yacht Zayda, also built by Seabiu-y & Co., has been par- 

 chased by Dr. H, A. Mandeville and is now being put in commission 

 at the yard. 



The steam Lxunch Imp, owned by Mr. Howard S. Jaffrey, was put 

 in comniissirm d few days aco, as was the steam yacht Aztec, N. Y. 

 Y, C, Mr. A. J^.riug owner ' She is itt charge of Capt. D. C. Packard. 



The steam yaidit Alle^ni, owned by Col. S. Y. R. Cruger, N. Y. Y. 

 C, was launched tro iii I lie yai-d just before the naval parade. 



Seabury & Cn. are also linildlng a very fine 35ft, steam launch for 

 the Delaware & Hudson Canal Co.. to be fitted with one of their fore 

 and aft compound eugines and a Sealjury safety water tube boiler. 

 She win be used by the paymaster and is nearly completed. 



The finishing point will be an imaginary line drawn between the 

 judge's yacht and stakeboat. and all yachts must cross this line at 

 finish. 



The 21-footers will saU as a special class, the club having no 21ft 

 limit in its regular classification. 



The Kill von Kull Y. C„ of Port Richmond, Staten Island, wUl hold 

 an open regatta on Mav SK), the classes beioa-; -■ 'liu sloops,

Vivieime, steam yacht, has been sold by J. H. Hutchinson to R. D, 

 Evans, of Boston. 



New British Yachts. 



As USUAL the new British yachts ai-e further advanced by about a 

 month than is common in this country, and the new racers have al- 

 ready made their trial trips. The racing season begins a week from 

 to-day, in fact, races wUl be sailed on May 20 and 23. The trial trips of 

 Britannia, Valkyi-ie, and the others so far as reported have proved 

 snccessfui. The Field gives the following information in regard to 

 the various new boats: The Calluna was launched on May 1, from the 

 building yard of Messrs. A. and J, Inghs, Partick, Glasgow, and is 

 being rapidly fitted out. As previously mentioned, this cutter has 

 just been built to the order of a syndicate of Glasgow merchants, of 

 which Mr. Peter Donaldson is the representative owner. Mr. Donald- 

 son previously owTied thelO-raters Yvonne, Yseult, and other racing 

 boats, and has made his mark as an amateur yachtsman and a spirited 

 sportsman. The Calluna has been designed b\' Mr. W illiain Fife, jun. 

 of Fau-Ue, and while she is about the same len-^th— 85ft. on the load 

 water-line— as the Britannia and Valkyrie, designed by Mr, Watson 

 she varies consideralib' from those cutters, and from any large cutter 

 Mr, Fife designed. Oi: course, none of her dimensions are accurately 

 known, but the guesses made represent her to be about 134ft. over ail. 

 with 25ft, beam, or about 175 tons by the old rule. Her draught at the 

 keel looks about 15ft. The counter looks about 30ft. long, that is, out- 

 side a perpendicular sternpost. Since the sternpost is excessively 

 raked, the counter may be longer. From the foot of the sternpost 

 the keel and stem make a continuous and flat curve to the sternhead,, 

 which gives tlio stem a very sharp look, and quite different from the 

 more rounded stem Mi-. \'\'atson has introduced. With her great beam 

 the cutter shows a high bilge, yvith a sharp floor and very hollow rtm. 

 The Calluna seems to be a small displacement cutter, taut wiW show a. 

 long-side when she lays do^m in a breeze. Her beam is carried weE 

 into her counter, and she will, of course, gather power with every 

 plank submerged. She look.s a cutter that wUi be very fast off the 

 wind, and, with a long bowsprit, it seems intended that reaching 

 should be her point of sailing. Her boom is not to be on such extreme 

 length as the Valkyrie's, which means a small -;- m.iit and a less 

 powerful build than Mr. Watson's cutter, roi . , l. <bt winds, 



the CaUuria promises to be very fast; but, wi:-_ . aisof lead 



in her keel, she is boimd to keep her feet in , , :-.,u,er. The lead 

 keel at the sternpost is thinned down to fit the heel, and gets thicker 

 andrims off to nothing about the mast. At the sternpost it looks 

 about 214ft. deep, but gets narrower further forward. The under edge- 

 is thickest, but it is not a bulb keel The cutter has a very smart look, 

 and her Unes have all the sweet look peculiar to Pairhe yachts. 



The deck fittings, of mahogany, occupy httle space. The ironwork 

 is exceptionally hea\'y- The cutter, being composite witli steel frames 

 and elm and mahogany planking, has plenty of room and accom- 

 modation below. She is not to be encumbered with hca^ v nttings 

 below^ Here spacious cabins and state rooms ai-e iu jiolisliert yellow 

 pine, with teak b.-ading. There is plenty of head room below'^. The 

 cutter IS paintefl black with a g-^lt stripe, and, with about Sin, of rail, 

 wUl show a low side. Ua.rit. Ha:;'arth and his Clvde crew of twenty- 

 eight men have the rifrging of the cutter in hand. Tlie huUders have 

 great credit iu the worknianship of therac.-r. .-. d : ■ -lesigner has 

 achieved his difficult task with the well-kno rr :_ ;-. his family. 

 The success of the Caliuiia ivUl be a triumph i- jiji ned. The 



name signifies wUtt; heatht-r.
