Bfigfand. 
When the knockabout first came into popular favor a 
few years ago, it did not carry any bowsprit, and the 
iib stay ran directly to the stem head. After experiment- 
ing both by the designers and sailors of these boats, it 
was found that they generally handled better to have the 
jib set further outboard on a short bowsprit, which also 
gave a better opportunity for getting the anchor aboard 
without bruising the boat's topsides, and also gave a 
place to stow the anchor without taking it on deck. In 
Brigand, whose plans appear this week, it was found that 
she handled so well in all weathers with the jib set on the 
stem head that no change was ever made in her original 
rig, as shown in the drawings. , , . , 
Brigand was designed by Mr. Fred D. Lawley, of the 
George Lawley & Son Corp., in 1898, and has proven 
herself an excellent all-round cruiser with a very fair 
turn of speed. She has 5ft. lo^in. head room m her 
cabin, and her excellent accommodations for a boat of 
25ft. waterline and her compact rig make her an ideal 
small cruiser, as well as a boat in which two or three 
amateurs could go comfortably along the coast in most any 
weather. 
Her dimensions are as follows: 
Length — . 
Over all 38ft. gm. 
Waterline 24ft. 9in. 
Overhang — 
Bow . , 6ft. 4in. 
Aft ....... 7ft. 8m. 
Beam — . 
Extreme 9ft. 6in. 
Freeboard —

Draft 5ft. 9in. 
Total sail area 814 sq. ft. 
Her frames are of oak, every third one being sawed, the 
two between being steam bent; the planking is of ij^in. 
yellow pine. Cabin rail planksheer and wheel are of

The Yachtsmen's CIttb* 
A SUFFICIENT number of the members o£ the Yachts- 
men's Club have joined the class of lectures on navigation 
to insure the success of the course. The lectures will be 
given by Capt. Howard Patterson, principal of the New 
York Nautical College. They are to be six in number, and 
will begin with the rudiments of domestic navigation, the 
subjects being dealt with in a practical common sense 
way, and illustrated by special drawings and blackboard 
designs. The first of the course was delivered Monday 
night, Jan. 7, at the club rooms, 47 West Forty-third 
street, as follows: History of the mariner's compass, 
replete with stories concerning its discovery, its evolution, 
theory of terrestrial magnetism, the instrument dealt with 
from its mechanical standpoint, novel and interesting 
experiments by the aid of artificial magnets, illustrating 
the phenomena of polarity, etc., and the compass 4e^lt 
^yith from the navigator's poii^|; of yifw? _ - ^
