BUZZARD'S BAY ONE-DESIGN CLASS OF THIRTY-FOOTERS.-DESIGNED AND BUILT BY THE HERRESHOFF MANUFACTURING COMPANY, 1901. 
"It is still further mutually agreed that the boats shall 
be hauled out not oftener than once in two weeks and 
shall not remain on the ways more than three consecutive 
days, except in case of necessary repairs." 
It is understood that the members of the syndicate have 
agreed that the racing crew shall consist of five, of whom 
two may be professionals. 
The plans of the boats give one a very good, general 
idea of what the boats will be. In appearance they re- 
semble Effort, Spasm and Leda, with the exception of 
the cabin house, which is a narrow one. This is an im- 
provement, as it adds to the boat's appearance, and gives 
far more room on deck, yet it does not cramp the cabin. 
There are six large, rectangular lights in each side of the 
bouse, so that the cabin will be well lighted. The cabin 
trunk is 13ft. long and 4ft. wide. The cockpit is water- 
tight, and of good size, the inside measurement being 8ft. 
6in. It was originally intended that the boats should 
steer with a horizontal wheel, but this idea was aban- 
doned and a tiller substituted. On deck forward is a 
small capstan in place of the usual windlass. The com- 
pass is placed in rather a unique place. The coaming 
of the cockpit runs by the after end of the cabin house 
and sweeps in. abutting against the trunk about i8in. 
further forward; the space made by this arrangement is 
utilized on the port side for the compass. 
The centerboard is of the dagger pattern and houses 
under the cabin floor. The pennant for raising and lower- 
ing the board runs through a pipe, which is placed in 
the corner of the lavatory, up to the top of the cabin 
trunk, where it connects with a tackle on the starboard 
side. 
The rig is a good one for this type and size of boat, and 
the only exception we take to it is the topsail, which is a 
useless sail, as shown in the drawing, for it could hardly 
be made to draw except when sheets were well started, to 
say nothing of its extremely ugly appearance. Besides the 
working sails shown on the plans, the boats will be 
equipped with the usual light sails, also a trysail and 
storm jib. 
The interiors of the boats are well arranged, and have a 
very fair amount of room. On each side of the coni- 
panionway is a wide berth 6ft. 3in. long, about half of 
which runs under the deck aft. Under these berths are 
lockers. A good-sized water tank is placed under the 
companionway. Forward of the after berths are two 
more, one on each side, with two drawers under them. In 
front of these forward berths are transoms, under which 
are lockers. On the starboard side of the cabin forward 
is a full-length, hanging locker. On the port side, oppo- 
sits, is the lavatory, which contains a set basin and closet. 
In the galley there is full headroom over a space of 2 sq. 
ft. The stove space and a cupboard are placed on the 
starboard side, while the refrigerator is on the port side. 
In the forecastle there is one pipe berth on the port side 
and plenty of room for another on the starboard side. A 
hatch located just aft of the capstan lights and ventilates 
the forecastle. There are two hatches on the cabin house, 
one over the lavatory and galley and the other over the 
main cabin. There is 5ft. 6in. headroom under the cabin 
house, and 6ft. clear under the hatches. The cabin floor is 
2ft. Bin. wide. 
The dimensions are as follows : 
Length — 
Over all 45ft. pin. 
L-W.L 29ft. 4in, 
Overhang — 
Forward 7ft. 
Aft , 9ft. sin.
