FOREST AND STREAM. 
The report last week of the sailing of Tampa was incorrect. She 
did not leave City Island until Dec. 22, towing to New York and 
out by the Hook. 
Margarita II., steam yacht, A. J. Drexel, arrived on the Clyde 
on Dec. 20, after sailing on Dec. 6 from Philadelphia, 
Katrina, cutter, has been sold by George Work to Robert Tod, 
through Messrs. Tams & Lemoine. She will be altered to a yawl. 
The American C, Knockabout Class. 
Through the kindness of the designer, Mr. B. B. Crowninshield, 
of Boston, we are enabled to piiblish the lines and details of the 
new 25ft. knockabout class just established by the American Y. C., 
of Milton Point, in connection with other of the North Shore 
clubs. The class is intended to provide a generally, usable yacht 
of such size as to give a good cabin with full standing room, and 
at the same time fast enough for the Sound in summer, with its 
frequent light airs. It is the intention to race the class regularly 
through the season, in which case, though competing only against 
each other, the class as a whole will be open to comparison, in 
point of speed, with some very fast yachts in the regular classes. 
It is of course out of the question that a special class of this kind, 
with accommodations as a leading feature, can equal in speed the 
purely racing boats; but at the same time the promoters of the 
class are desirous that the boats shall be fast enough to hold a fair 
place in the regular open club races, and not to bring up the 
rear. 
The design of Mr. Crowninshield was selected by the committee 
in charge of the class from a lot of seven, submitted by Messrs. 
Crosby, Ferris, Hill, Lawley, Stephens, and Gardner & Cox. 
The committee included Messrs. Stuyvesant Wainwright, F. Bowne 
Jones, A. Bryan Alley, N. D. Lawton and E. Burton Hart. The 
fin-keel type was adopted as being faster than the normal keel type, 
and the centerboard was added on account of the shoal draft at 
Milton Point and other of the Sound harbors where the yachts 
will lie. The dimensions are as follows: 
Length, over all 37ft. lOin. 
Length, l.w.l 25ft. 
Overhang, bow 5ft. Tin, 
Overhang, stern 6ft. 3in. 
Beam, extreme .' 9ft. 4i/^in. 
Beam, l.w.l 8ft. llin. 
Freeboard, bow 3ft. lin. 
Freeboard, least 2ft. lin. 
Freeboard, stern 2ft. 4in. 
Draft, hull and fin 4ft. 6in. , 
Draft, with board 8ft. 6in. 
Displacement 12,6001bs. 
Keel 5,6001bs. ' 
Area lateral plane... 84.60sq. ft. 
Mast, from stem at l.w.l 5ft. 3in. 
Mast, deck to upper hounds 34ft. 4in. 
Bowsprit, outboard 2ft. 6in. .. ; 
Bowsprit, beyond l.w.l 8ft.

Hoist of mainsail ■ 22ft. 4in. 
Mainsail, area 635sq. ft. 
Jib 165sq. ft. 
Total ; SOOsq. ft. 
There is good room forward for a man or boy, berthed in a ham- 
mock cot, and abaft the galley and w.c. is a space of lOft. for the 
cabin, with a headroom of full 6ft. The floor and lockers are of 
good width. On the port side the locker is continued aft beneath 
the deck so as to make two berths, or sleeping three in all in the 
cabin. There is ample provision for ice, water, and the usual extra 
lockers for stores, clothes, etc. The cockpit floor is 8in. above the 
L.W.L., with scuppers, and there is a wide seat within the cockpit 
coaming, with plenty of deck room on the counter. The con- 
struction is simple and strong, a bent oak keel being used, with 
outside fin of oak and ballast of lead. The centerboard will be of 
mahogany. The specifications call for thorough workmanship, and 
a complete finish throughout. The short bowsprit is an innovation 
in a knockabout, but it adds materially to the shipshape appearance 
of the yacht. The design conforms to the restrictions of the Bos- 
ton Knockabout Association. The contract has been awarded to 
Frank T. Wood, of City Island, at $1650 for complete yacht.
