The sail plan is of comfortable size for a cruising boat 
of 25ft. water! ine length, the total area being 883 sq. ft. 
There is a large amount of room in the cabin under the 
low house. There is 5ft. 3m. headroom under beams in 
the cabin, and 5ft. ioin. headroom under the skylight. 
The cabin house is 14ft. long and nin. high at the sides. 
« The waterway around the sides ©f the cabin house and 
cockpit is ift. gin. wide, which is ample and allows plenty 
of space in going forward. 
The cabin floor is 3ft. 6in. wide. The part of the 
centerboard trunk that projects above the cabin floor is 
small, and in no way an objection, as it gives a place for 
the cabin table, and also a couple of drawers for silver, etc. 
The transoms are 6ft. gin. long and 2ft. 6in. wide; 
these are so arranged that they can be widened, making 
an unusually roomy berth, so that two persons could 
comfortably sleep on a side. 
On each side of the cabin aft are hanging lockers i8in. 
deep, and back of these are shelves for blankets, etc. 
Aft of the companion steps and under the cockpit is 
another locker 2ft. high, 3ft. wide and ift. deep. The 
cabin is lighted and ventilated by a skylight 3ft. long. 
Forward of the cabin is the toilet room, which is 2ft. 3m. 
wide, and extends the full width of the boat. By an in- 
genious arrangement of doors the toilet room may be 
made an entirely inclosed space of good size, or when 
the doors are swung back in place it leaves a wide pas- 
sage between the cabin and the galley. On the port side 
of the toilet room is the water closet, back of which is a 
locker for linen, etc., and opposite on the starboard side 
is a set wash basin, behind which there is also a locker. 
The galley is 3ft. 2in. wide, and runs the full width 
of the boat. There is 5ft. headroom under the carlins in 
the galley. The galley is of good size, and is well ar- 
ranged, and meals could be prepared for several men in 
a decent way. A skylight could be placed over the 
galley and toilet room, and this would improve the venti- 
lation and give more headroom. 
The forecastle is entirely separate from the galley, and 
can also be reached from the deck by means of a hatch. 
There is a folding gas pipe berth for a man if on£ were 
carried, and plenty of stowage space for lamps and spare 
gear of every description. 
The cockpit, which is water tight, is 6ft. 6in. long and 
6ft. wide. Light sails and other things can be stored in 
the lazerette, which is reached by a brass plate in the 
cockpit floor. 
The following was written by Mr. Barney, and gives a 
good idea of what he had in mind when working up the 
design : 
The underlying idea which governed the design was 
the desire to produce a boat of sufficient power to be 
kept sailing in the heavy weather one is sure to experi- 
ence in an extended cruise outside of Long Island Sound. 
Hence, a large displacement seemed essential in order to 
permit of rather heavy construction, high freeboard, as 
much overhang as could be used to advantage, and enough 
ballast to insure good stability independently of the 
stiffness due to a comparatively wide hull. 
The end aimed at in the lines was a modification of 
the characteristics of the racing type. A boat of small 
wetted surface and compact and easy form resulted. The 
'raking midship section and inefficient after overhang 
peculiar to the so-called "cruiser" were avoided. The 
conception that a cruiser must be a comfortable boat in 
bad weather limited the sail area to about 885 sq. ft. 
The cabin was arranged so that the main saloon should 
be as habitable and roomy as possible, and completely 
separated from the galley. , Ample locker space was 
provided. The fresh-water tanks were placed under the 
transoms in order to keep the weight low and away from 
the ends of the boat.
