the request of the technical commission the council has 
decided that those foreign clubs giving their regattas un-

A Fast 25-footer. 
The accompanying design was made by the Marblehead 
Yacht Yard, W. B. Stearns, for Com. H. C. Rouse, Sea- 
wanhaka Corinthian Y. C, and two yachts are now build- 
ing from it at the yard for Com. Rouse and a friend. 
They are intended for day sailing on open water, with 
some cabin accommodation, though not such as would be 
required for cruising. The order in a general way called 
for a keel boat of not over 5ft. 6in. draft,/with knock- 
about rig of small area, large cockpit, small cabin house, 
strong and durable construction, and handsome finish. 
The boats were expected to be fast for the type, and easy 
in a sea. The dimensions finally chosen by the builder 
were : 
Length over all 38ft. 
L.W.L. 25ft. 
Beam, extreme 8ft. 6in. 
Beam, L.W.L. ; 8ft. 
Draft 5ft. 6in. 
Least freeboard ift. gin. 
Displacement io,ooolbs. 
Ballast ... , 5,ooolbs. 
Sail area 730 sq. ft. 
The plans speak for themselves, and give every indica- 
tion pf realizing the expectations of designer and owners. 
The hull is planked with hard pine in single lengths, all 
copper fastened, the lead keel' is slightly bulbed, and is 
fastened with Tobin bronze bolts, the planksheer and deck 
joiner work are of mahogany, the deck is of white pine, 
and the cabin is finished in mahogany and butternut. Com. 
Rouse is the owner of the one-design Seawanhaka knock- 
about Mistral, designed and built by Mr. Stearns la,st 
year.
