ISOLDE— CUTTER. 
Com, F. M. Hoyt, Stamford Y. C. Designed by Will Fife, Jr., 1895 
Isolde. 
The cutter Isolde, now owned by Com. F. M. Hoyt. 
Stamford Y. C, was designed by Will Fife. Jr., and built 
at the Fife Yard, Fairlie, for Peter Donaldson in 1895. 
She was designed for the 40-rating class under the old 
rating rule, and .she has been considered the most suc- 
ces.sful of her class. Her dimensions are : 
Length — 
Over all 84ft. 6in. 
L.W.L 60ft. 
OvTrhang — 
Bow..., lift. 
Counter 13ft. 6in. 
Breadth- 
Extreme : 17ft. 
'L.W.L 15 ft, 
Freeboard — 
Bow 4ft. loin. 
Least 2ft. Sin. 
Counter 3ft. 6in. 
Draft lift. 9in. 
Sail area, Y. R. A. rule 4,000 sq. ft. 
Isolde is of the full composite construction, the steel 
angle frames being liberally strapped and braced. The 
stem piece is backed by a long and strong steel girder 
which takes the downward strain of the mast. The plank- 
ing is of elm. pitch pine and teak. 2in. thick, and the deck 
is thick. Though designed primarily for racing, the 
yacht is fully fitted below Avith all the cabins and state- 
rooms common to a yacht of her size, and very comfort- 
ably furnished. In her first season she made fifty-two 
starts and won thirty-one first prizes and six others, the 
total value being £1,162. What is more remarkable than 
her record in the 40-rating class is her good performance 
under the linear rating rule, in the 6.sft. class, the equiva- 
lent of the old 40-rating. She is a handsome vessel and 
in every way a credit to her designer. 
7. The .sailing rules shall be those of the Royal St. 
Lawrence Y. C. ' 
This year extra' prizes Vrert offered for second, third 
and fourth place. 
The following gentlemen made up the .special sailing 
committee : R. R. Stevenson, the donor ; David Poe, 
Leslie Dowker, C. P. Sclater and W. Ernest Bolton. 
The course was laid out in T .shape, one mile to each 
leg, or six in all. The wind was light and variable all 
through. The club steamer St. Louis towed up the yachts 
from Dorval and Lakeside and carried a party of specta- 
tors. A race for the one-design dinghies was won by 
Mares, with Neverbudae second.
