Blocks — For ordinary knockabout rig, yacht blocks 
with patent sheaves. 
Sails. 
Mainsail and jib of Soz. cotton, double-bighted, with 
reef points, etc., and covers. 
The details of the iron keel are given to a larger scale; 
the pattern is best made of a common quality of pine, 
two or three thick planks screwed together and worked 
out to the shape by means of templets made from the 
full-size drawing on the door. In order to get the full 
weight of keel, about a.poolbs., the full allowance for 
shrinkage must be made, about iiln. per foot, the pattei-n 
being larger than the drawing in this proportion. The 
foundryman who is to cast the keel should be consulted 
before the pattern is made as to the proper allowance 
for shrinkage in the length, breadth and depth, also the 
placing of cores for the bolt holes. The keel should be 
cast and ready in the shop before the wood keel and 
deadwoods are completed, so that in the event of the 
iron keel being somewhat different from the drawings, 
owing to this shrinkage, the wood keel may stih be 
made to fit it. 
The main keel does not rest on the iron keel, but a 
piece of deadwood is interposed, as shown in the longi- 
tudinal section, page 314, bringing the keel up to a proper 
point to take the rabbet. 
There being no restriction on bowsprit or sail plan 
to consider, a broader and lower rig than the regular 
knockabout sail plan was selected; the bowsprit gives 
a finish to the yacht, and is rather more shipshape in 
appearance, besides offering a convenient means of car- 
rying the anchor, and as the yacht is intended for open 
water, and to carry a fairly large rig, there seemed no 
special advantage in the high and narrow rig of the 
knockabout as opposed to the more moderate propor- 
tions of base and height, with a decided lowering of the 
weight aloft. If desired, the sail plan can easily be adapt- 
ed to the knockabout rig, with jib tack at the stem- 
head and longer mast and hoist. We shall be glad to 
give any further information to those who may desire 
to build from the design. 
Messrs. Rice Bros, inform us that they are prepared 
to duplicate the yacht, to tliese specifications, for $800. 
SEAWANHAKA ONE-DESIGN CLASS. W. B. STEARNS, DESIGNETJ. DIFFER. ARTHUR TSELIN, ESQ.

The Seawanhaka and Cohasset Glasses. 
The accompanying photos, by N. L. Stebbins, of Bos- 
ton, show two of the new one-design yachts designed' 
and built during the winter by W. B. Stearns, of Marble- 
head, Mass. The boats Dipper and Remora, the former 
of the Seawanhaka design and the latter of the Cohas- 
set, are the first of their respective classes afloat, and 
have recently been under trial at Marblehead. Dipper 
is owned by Arthur Iselin, of Ncav Rochelle, and Re- 
mora by C. H. Cousens, of Cohasset. The design of 
the Seawanhaka class has already appeared in the 
Forest and Stream. The Cohasset class is very simi- 
lar, but the draft of hull has been reduced to 3ft. 6in., 
with a deeper centcrboard, and the sail area has been 
increased to 6oosq.ft. The photos show what handsome 
little ships Mr. Stearns has turned out, and there is no 
doubt that both classes will show well in the matter of 
speed.
