-CABIN PLAN 
pected that the syndicate will go ahead and build. It is 
likely that Crowninshield will design the second boat. 
Burgess has an order for a defender for a syndicate 
headed by A. Henry Higginson. Reginald Boardman, 
who is also a m&mber of the syndicate, and who sailed 
the successful Lookout in 1900, will undoubtedly be at 
the tiller of the new boat. Smith has not yet started the 
boat for Mr. Faxon, but will do so as soon as the Sea- 
wanhaka boat is out of the shop. The general make-up of 
these boats is known, but nothing in the line of dimensions 
can be given out at this time. When their general dimen- 
sions are given out I will probably have something to say 
about unrestricted boats of over 18ft. waterline. 
At Lawley's the bronze 60-rater Weetamoe is shut in 
and most of the riveting has been done. Work on her 
deck will probably be started this week. The Wharton 
46-footer is planked and her deck is being finished. The 
Percival Y. R. A. 25-footer is all shut in and her cabin- 
work has been started. The Fleetman 35-footer is in 
frame. The 21ft. cruiser designed by Mower has been set 
up. Arnold Lawson's schooner will soom be ready for 
launching, as will also be the Crane 35-footer. The Foss 
and Gunnison 30ft. yawl is finished. The Strawbridge 
104ft. steam yacht is nearly ready for the water. Some 
delay was experienced on the boiler and shafting work on 
this vessel, which were on the steamship Indian, which 
went ashore at Gay Head. John B. Kiixeen. 
On Saturday. April 12, the steam yacht built for Mr. 
T. Rogers Maxwell, from designs made by Mr. Henry 
C. Winteriiigham. was launched from the yard of the 
builders, Pusey & Jones Co., at Wilmington. Del. She 
will be known as the Celt, and will replace Kismet, the 
steam yacht recently sold by Mr. Maxwell. Celt is 170ft. 
over all, 138ft. 6in. waterline, 23ft. 6in. breadth and T2ft, 
£in. deep. She is built of steel throughout 
Our English Letter. 
Kariad is having things very much her own way in 
the Mediterranean. Sybarita is a wonderfully fast light- 
weather yawl, but then she is a yawl, and Kariad is a 
cutter, which makes all the difference in the usual breezes 
of those waters. There can never be any great interest 
in such racing, and yet it is all we can look forward to 
this summer in our big class. Bona is being converted 
into a yawl, but Mr. Peter Donaldson, her owner, will 
not race her in the open class regularly. ' 
If the report be true that Mr. Pierpont Morgan intends 
to bring Columbia over here to race, it will be the salva- 
tion of our season. I have heard that Shamrock I. is in 
a bad way, owing to the rotting of her aluminum, but if 
she can be. put in order there is little doubt that Sir 
Thomas Lipton would have her set right to meet (and 
beat) her old antagonist. Matches between these two 
would be of the greatest interest, for they would settle 
the question as to how far the first Shamrock suffered 
from bad management and misfortune in her races with 
Columbia. The various matches between the two Sham- 
rocks leave it a very open question as to which is the 
better boat, and the new one pushed Columbia so close 
that, even if she is only a little better than the first Sham- 
rock, Columbia would not have it all her own way with 
the old boat over here. -Such a visit would make the 
Coronation season notable, whereas at present it bids 
fair to be a little flat. 
Mr, Cecil Quentin's new schooner will race for the 
first time in the German Emperor's match from Dover 
to Heligoland, which race, by the way, will this year be 
called the Coronation cup race. This fine schooner is 
designed by Mr. W. Fife, and is building at Southampton. 
She is very much of the size of your ex-Cup defender 
schooners, being 90ft. on the waterline, 23ft. beam, but 
only 14ft. draft, She ought to move irj a lighter breeze 
than the Emperor's new schooner, though her sail spread 
will not be extravagant. She is reported to be a pecu- 
liarly pretty vessel, and is arranged for being fitted with 
oil engines later on. 
This year a return match from Germany to England 
is contemplated, under the management of the Royal 
London Y. C. A handsome prize has been offered by 
Mr. Carl von Buch, and the race is only open to Ger- 
man-owned yachts. This is taking a leaf out of the Em- 
peror's own book, and the result will be watched with 
considerable interest. There is some searching of heart 
each year at so many yachts being drawn to Kiel, for our 
own racing is not on so grand a scale as it might be, and 
if we can entice some of the German_ yachts back it will 
be quite a satisfactory bit of reciprocity. 
This is the season of gales with us, and last week Mr. 
Cazabee's schooner Privateer had a nasty experience in 
the Channel. She was on her way to Southampton, en 
route for the Mediterranean, and was caught in a sudden 
gale. Her mainsail had been reefed down, and the third 
jib was being taken in, to be replaced by a spitfire, when 
she pitched into a steep sea and broke the bowsprit. This 
took with it the starboard cathead and 25ft. of rail. The 
anchor was foul of wreckage and could not be hove up. 
They wore ship and ran up Channel for Dover, but the 
helmsman jibed the vessel in drying to avoid another 
vessel. The boom came over on the backstay and tore 
away stanchions and bulwarks for 12ft. All trouble 
was not over yet, for when they fetched Dover, the port 
anchor was let go, but instead of bringing up the ves- 
sel, it also got foul of the wreckage, and the ship had to 
be run for the Downs. However, the crew could not 
clear M:he anchors, and finally the yacht was picked up 
by a steamer and towed into Dover. The owner and his 
wife were on ( board, and had a decidedly nasty experience 
of a winter night at sea. 
I hear that since this unpleasant cruise Privateer is to 
be fitted, with a three-cylinder Lozier motor engine of
