-tition will regulate all further projects of this kind, and 
we sincerely hope that there will be many competitors and 
the affair prove a most unqualified success. 
A 30ft. Cruising Yawl. 
The boat, plans of which appear in this issue, combines 
about all the points exacted by yachtsmen now building 
cruising craft of moderate size. The boat is of moderate 
draft, with a centerboard housing under the cabin floor, 
yawl rig, auxiliary power, full headroom under the cabin 
house and a water-tight cockpit. She was designed by 
Mr. Fred D. Lawley for Mr. Bancroft Davis, and was 
built by the Geo. Lawley & Son Corp., of South Boston, 
Mass.

The boat has been completed and the workmanship is 
of the highest grade all through. The design shews a 
boat of considerable displacement and full underwater 
body with long, well-balanced overhangs. The deadwood 
is cut away aft in order to make her quick in stays, and 
the rudder is hung on a skeg, which extends from the 
deadwood just under the propeller. The freeboard is of 
a good height, and the cabin house is quite low. All those 
who have seen the boats since she has been completed have 
been pleased with her handsome appearance and impressed 
by the large amount of room below decks. The cabin 
house is 17ft. 6in. long, and there is a waterway on each 
side of it 2ft. 3in. wide. The engine, which is a five-horse- 
power Palmer motor, is placed under the forward end of 
the cockpit, the flywheel being just under the companion- 
way steps. 
There is 6ft. iin. headroom under carlins in the main 
saloon, which is 8ft. long. On each side there is a berth 
2ft. 6in. wide, and 6ft. 3m. long, in front of this is a wide 
transom that can also be used for a berth. On each side 
aft are hanging lockers of good size, with shelves on
