The construction plan shows how the lines rasv he moulded into a 

 longer stem, a matter of taste more than actual utility. The pawn 

 frames, spaced 2ft. on centers, have two steam°d frames between 

 each pair. An iron knee is placed on each sawn frame. The rudder 

 trunk is a l^in. iron pipe and the rudder ste C k is a forging of l^io. 

 round bar iron or steel, with two arms, or lugs, on the after side to 

 carry the blade, which is of lin. oak. The arrangement of the cock- 

 wit is for racing, the body of the boat being covered in by a flat-hinged 

 hatch of J^in. pine covered with canvas, and the cockpit itself being 

 rather small with a high watertight floor draining through a pipe 

 near the sternpost. The seats lift off and the brackets which sup- 

 port them can be folded down out of the way in racing. For ordinary 

 «iay sailing a larger and deeper open cockpit could be built, giving 

 room for a large party. On each side, abreast the ehainplate= a strip 

 Bxlin. and 4ft. Sin. long is worked on the inside of the timbers, as 

 shown in the section at station 3. The details of construction and 

 fastenings are clearly shown in the drawings. 



Small Boats on the Delaware. 



^Editor Forest and HpreaMi 



Through the different forms of small open boats in these waters, 

 from the mosquito and long overhangs to the Delaware. River cat and 

 nlumb ends, none seem better adapted to river and bay use than the 

 latter. Boats from 15 to 16ft. are measured at the lone-est part. The 

 skimmers with less beam, e-reater dppth. easier and higher bilge and 

 narrower transom with 6001bs. of dead weight are the ablest or 

 speediest boats, especially eyeing the wind in a heavy sea. This was 

 rjroven on the C P Y. C seventh annual race to r>eedv Island and 

 back, a distance of 10(1 miles, when the Delaware River fat Will Kin 

 sev. 16ft.. broke the record and won the quick time trophv. It blew 

 hard during the night and several of the cabin boats hauled down reef 

 cringles and others came to for a time. This is on record in the For- 

 est and Stream. 



The winter sailing here has been remarkably fine and the boats of the 

 O. P. Y. 0. have, been kept in commi sion. The lfift. racers Kinney and 

 Humphries, twin sisters, have bepn matched almost daily withvary- 

 ing success, the'difference being fr^m three to ten seeonds'most of the 

 time over an eleven-mile course. Four of these boats are as nearly 

 alike as can be built, and the slightest mistake loses the race. This 

 type of boat depends very much on dead weight for stability, and is 

 useful in reaching the amateur sailor, asthese boats are built so nearly 

 alike that the better man, barring flukes, must win. Besides, unlike 

 the tuckup. live weight is not necessarily ballast, as one or more per- 

 sons can use the boat. The veriest dummy is comparatively safe, and 

 after a year or so of practice, if apt and' attentive, crops out a full- 

 fledged boat handler. 



The yachting editor of the Forest jkd Stream sized up the four 

 hoats mentioned when they were receiving their first coat of paint, 

 and he speaks as an authority, but his criticism in this instance is not 

 entirely borne out, probably from the fact that small boats here are 

 measured at the longest part for classification and time allowance. 

 Hence the long overhangs would not be in it with the plumb enders, 

 from loss of power. This ha.s been proven by actual test of the two 

 tvpes. and it would he equally unfair to fight a 16-footer against, a 

 22-footer. no matter what the latter mav measure on the load line. 

 The square stern is homely compared with the long, graceful counter 

 of the modern boat. But a 12 to 16-footer is too small for a short 

 under water body. 



And this reminds me of a boat 13ft. over all. 7ft. keel, that I built in 

 1840 and sailed in to Cape Henry and Cape May. The model hangs 

 over my desk as I write, and I find a close resemblance to the small 

 boat of to-day. "History repeats itself." Verily, the old becomes 

 new again.

Cooper's Point. Pa. 



Com. Center in Philadelphia. 



The rooms of the Philadelphia Yacht Club; at 1715 Chestnut street, 

 were crowded last night with members and their friends to listen to a 

 lecture on "The Care and Fitting Out of Yachts," delivered by Com- 

 modore Robert Center, of the Seawanhaka. Yacht Club of New York. 



The lecturer was introduced to those present by Commodore Fran- 

 cis Shunk Brown, aud after a few preliminary remarks spoke as fol- 

 lows: "I shall endeavor this evening togive yo'i the result of some 

 years of experience in care of yachts, of their fitting out and laying 

 up, and of the method of internal economy as generally practiced. In 

 order to make it clear I will begin with the fitting out in the spriDg, 

 take you through the season and end wilh the laying up for the 

 winter." 



The speaker impressed upon the minds of his hearers that he wou'd 

 only give the results of personal experience, which covered a period 

 of thirty-two years in yachting and club life, and would not under- 

 take to explain the methods of this shipbuilder or that yacht owner, 

 but deal with the question as he had come in contact with it face to 

 face in a sailing life. He intimated that perchance his remarks at 

 times might be considered heretic, "but a rope, was still a rope, no 

 matter what foreign phrase would be used 1* designate it." 



Rapidly the Commodore carried his interested audience through a 

 brief but lucid explanation of th« different types in vogue in yacht 

 building, and finally pictured his model yacht afloat, ready to be rigged 

 and equipped with officers and crew. He dwelt for a long time on the 

 importance of selecting a skipper, saying "he is the most significant 

 man you must have, while it is difficult to find one with the qualities 

 of honesty, sobriety and competency, yet. it is absolutely necessary 

 that he should possess two of these qualifications at least — the first 

 and the last. Sobriety he will acquire possibly through the force of 

 example," 



"Amateur yachtsmen," he said, "will readily discover that it takes 

 much longer to get a yacht into condiLion than it does to get it into 

 commission and as soon as the skipper is employed, give him the 

 privilege of selecting the crew — do not make a mistake by selecting 

 the crew yourself — allow him to do that and if they are not up to the 

 standard when tested, you will know who is to blame " Painting, 

 mast scraping, cleaning the decks, bending the blocks and sails were 

 all dilated upon by the commodore in an interesting manner and his 

 remarks, which w T ere interpersed with "nautical yarns," were fre- 

 quently interrupted by applause. 



"With the yacht now looking spick and span ready to go into com- 

 mission, a thorough understanding should be made with the cook and 

 steward as to the expenses of their department, aud they should be 

 given to understand that, by a system of averages, the owner has been 

 able to ascertain how much per diem should be spent." This pre- 

 caution, the speaker said, had a good effect, and would be found 

 profitable at the end of the season. 



Cruising, boat service while in port, care of bilges while on a cruise, 

 discipline of the crew and skipper, were all treated in turn in a mas- 

 terly manner. The speaker laid particular stress on the great im- 

 portance of having good lights, and never forgetting the old mari- 

 time axiom of "when both side lights you see ahead, port your helm 

 and show the red." "The necessity of having good, clear lights -the 

 larger the better — on a small yacht will be very apparent to a new 

 yachtsman. An expensive light is always good evidence in court. 

 * ' 'Care should be taken during a cruise not to sail a yacht to death— 



the expression may sound somewhat peculiar, but a good yacht is like 

 a thoroughbred horse who runs until he drops dead, while a good 

 yacht will sail to windward or tack reach after reach until she has 

 shaken herself to pieces. 



"A short cruise wili be sufficient to prove that the Swedes make the 

 best sailors, the qualifications being the same as in a skipper— honesty, 

 sobriety and competency. He is usually honest, can prove his com- 

 petency and is always sober— a Swede rarely gets drunk on his own 

 money." 



The expense of keeping a yacht was thoroughly discussed by the 

 speaker, and he easily convinced those present that it is an expensive 

 fad; that men who own large yachts are very busy men, and that it 

 was necessary for them to be so in order to pay their bills. 



The Commodore concluded his lecture bv explaining the different 

 methods in vogue of wintering a yacht, and illustrated his own idea of 

 how it should be done 



Mr. Center used a blackboard to illustrate his lecture, by which he 

 was enabled to simplifv many of the nautical terms and expressions 

 which he employed.— Philadelphia Ledger, Jan. 30.

The annual general meeting and plection of officers of the St. Law- 

 rence Y. C , of Montreal, was held on Feb. 3. In spite of floods, 

 storms, and calms, necessitating postponements of several races, the 

 secretary was able, through the assistance of hard working commit 

 tees, to prepare a most favorable report, marred only by the great 

 storm that visited the club's waters on July 8, capsizing fiv» vachts 

 and taking from the midst of all who loved and respected him Com- 

 modore Levin. The treasurer's statement showed great increase in

Canoe-Yawl Construction. 



(From the Field.~) 



An exceedingly interesting combination of different styles of boat- 

 building is at the present moment to be seen in the building shops of 

 Mr Turk at Kingston-on-Thames. About a month ago we mentioned 

 two canoe yawls which were to be sent abroad, one to the British 

 Consul at Bussorah in Arabia, and the other to Hobart, Tasmania; no 

 sooner had they vacated the shops than the stocks were again utilized 

 for a couple of craft of similar type, and on Saturday last a third 

 craft was also commenced. The three new canne-yawls now building 

 though similar in model to the design we published Feb. 25. 1893, are 

 different to each other in construction; the first is ribbon-carvel, 

 framed only with very small bent timbers, but having of course also 

 the support additional of three transverse bulkheads and of wooden 

 floors in the mid compartment. The second boat is of diagonal skin, 

 without any timbering or frame, but with the bulkhead and floor 

 frames as usual The third craft is of ordinary carvel build, with bent 

 elm frames or timbers. The chief interest naturally centers on the 

 diagonal skinned boat, both on the question of s.rength and weight. 

 The skin is of two different woods, each J^in. in substance, the planks 

 of the inner and outer skins crossing each other in the manner of St. 

 Andrew's cross. Between the two woods is laid brown paper, thor- 

 oughly saturated with varnish and lead paint mixed, and the skins are 

 riveted together. The planks being narrow and the crossing angle 

 considerable, each plank crosses and is riveted to about six other 

 planks The transverse bulkheads are tbree in number, the middle 

 one assisting to support the center-plate trunk and the wooden floor 

 frames, for support of the floor grating, spread out about lOln. on 

 each side of the keel, and are through bolted or riveted to the skin. 



On the question of weight, no actual weighing has yet been done, 

 except by manual lifting of the ribbon-carvel and the diagonal-skinned 

 boats, when, at a similar stage of construction Qi e., when all wood 

 building was complete, but before any metal fittings were put. on), 

 the diagonal craft is reported to be much the lightest. In this con- 

 nection it must be remembered that the ribbon-carvel boat is of un- 

 usually light scantling, in that she has very light ribbons and small 

 steamed frames; in her the usual sawn oak frames are omitted. In 

 all other respects of decks, bulkheads, floors, hatchways, etc, we 

 understand the boats are exactly similar, aud the skin of the ribbon 

 carvel is %ia. 



As to strength of skin, there can be no doubt that the diagonal is far 

 away the stronger; how much so could be easily tested next Bank 



Hobday by right-angled collisions with the pointed stem of a skiff well 

 laden with and oropelled by Hampton Court visitors; but, upon this, 

 the repairing of the diagonal would be a matter of considerable, diffi- 

 culty, whereas any able-handed amateur capable of making a fair 

 scarf connection could repair the ribbon-carvel, and this is a matter of 

 importance when cruising abroad. On the other hand, for a mere 

 effective patch, the cross skin would hold far better than the carvel, 

 and, excepting contact with a sharp point, such as the submerged 

 fluke of an anchor or a tree snag, it is difficult to see how the riveted 

 cross skin can be badly damaged ia ordinary navigation. 



The weakest point of the diagonal construction, unless great care is 

 taken, will be along the skin joint or rabbet, at the keel and at the rab- 

 ■u °i r stem an<i stern pests. A reasonable amount of floor timbers 

 should be used, and the skins should be screwed on at short intervals 

 along the rabbet; and the further addition of a bilge stringer, running 

 right fore and aft in one piece, would add but little to the weight and 

 would give comfortable strength to the bilges. 



To the sailor's eye the outer skin, diagonal instead of horizontal and 

 sweeping with the sheer, is not pleasant in a varnished boat; and pro- 

 bably paint, even if of many coats, would not hide the seams; but for 

 the lovers of "everything ship-shape and Bristol fashion" there is yet 

 the form of double skin where the inner ia diagonal and the outer Is 

 fore and aft: and such is the double skin we should recommend as 

 best for hard knocks and for good looks. 



Where a canoe has to ' 'o much rough bumping, a riveted two or 

 three skin keel, steamed, bent and riveted in position, will stand far 

 more wear and tear than the old time sawn solid keel and posts; but 

 in this form of keel the difficulty is to avoid leakage along the joint o£ 

 the skm to the keel, un'ess the inner keel is of sufficient depth or thick- 

 skin admifc of a raDoet Dem f? cut at least deep enough for the inner 



My present craft is smaller than Cherub I., both in dimensions, dis- 

 placement, and sail area: but I have little doubt she will prove as able 

 a cruiser, although she does not give such extensive accommodation. 

 Still, m order to give "Interested" an idea of what I consider enough 

 room for a single hand for. at a pinch, two hands), I will state the 

 dimensions of "cabin" aud build of my present yawl, the general 

 dimensions nf hull having be-m previously given in your columns. 



The hull is built of two skins, each 14m. mahogany. The inner skin 

 ^diagonal, the outer longitudinal' with varnished calico between. 

 These two skins are fasteued to four longitudinal elm stringers 

 IMX^in., and then through fastened and roved together until they 

 are practically one skin, with grain running in different, directions; so 

 strong and rigid is this arrangement that there are no timbers nor 

 floors. The strength was well proved in the. late gales, as the boat, 

 though in the harbor, was a good deal knocked about, by the numer- 

 ous craft that broke adrift, and came foul of her. She was well 

 thumped on the ground by the great range that ran: and having torn 

 every piece of ironwork out of her that a rope could be fastened to, 

 and having laid on her bilge and thumped for several hours, came out 

 smiling, and as tight as a bottle, with only her teak rubbing strakes 

 cut and worn through both sides, but otherwise undamaged. 



The center-plate case does not come above the level of the "cabin" 

 floor, and as she has rather high coaming there is just 2ft. 10in. height 

 from floor to underside of hatch. This hatch slides and lifts up, as In 

 the Wren, details of which were published in the Field in 1880. There 

 is a thwart across the boat, Oft. Bin. from the sternpost. This thwart 

 divides the "cabin" from the well, and is bulkheaded aft; the foreside 

 is divided into four open lockers, which receive all the cooking 

 utensils, stove, provisions, etc. Its makes a good strengthener for the 

 boat, as it is fixed, and the center-plate chain works through a pulley 

 on it. The length of the "cabin" floor is 7ft. from thwart to mast, 

 then come shelves under the foredeck, which serve as storing places 

 for clothes, bedding and such like light articles. 



The only part of the boat that is open when the hatch is in place, is 

 the well. 4x3ft. 6in. The usual lockers aft, and open lockers under 

 the side decks. The deck is rather heavy, being double with calico 

 between, the thickness being i^in. and %iu., top yellow pine. This 

 thickness is quite necessary here, as a 15-stone fisherman will jump 

 from his own craft on to mv deck very unconcernedly. 



With raised hatch I get 3ft. Klin, head room. This is ample for me, 

 but I do not think it will answer everybody's definition of "a good 

 nome." Anyway, it is dry and big enough "for me to sleep and stow 

 my dunnage, sketching traps, and small stock of books. 



The weights are as follows: Hull and spars, 8>icwt.; ballast, 

 10V 3 cwt.; crew, l^cwt.; stores. H-.icwt,— total, 22cwt. 



As she was not launched until late in November last year, for just 



few weeks' trial, I cannot say positively what sort of cruiser she will 

 make; but her behavior under reefed cauvas and in a heavy lump of 

 sea, seemed to point to the fact that she was a good sea boat, and the 

 3ft. overhang forward was a great help in lifting her dry over a sea 

 top. Judged by comparison with an ordinary working coble, she 

 seemed to be as fast and as weatherly. but only next summer's "six 

 weeks" can put her properly to the test. Cherub.

 Com. Gisborne in the. chair. The secretary-treasurer's report show ed 

 the club to be in a flourishing condition, with a membership of 85 and 

 a balance to the good in the club treasury. After a thorough discus- 

 sion it was decided to enlarge the floating club house and move it to 

 Rockeliff, one of the termini of the electric street railway. The change 

 of position will place the club house, close to the sailing course, and will 

 do away with a long paddle against a strong current The following
