Designing Competition for the Seawanhaka 
Corinthian Y. C. 
The publishers of Forest and Stream are much grati- 
fied at the large number of designs that have been sub- 
mitted for the Seawanhaka Corinthian competition, which 
closed on Thursday, May 15. It is hardly necessary to say 
that the designs are all of a high order and that jt will not 
be an easy task to award the prizes. It is now hoped that 
the decision of the judges can be made known within a 
week or two. 
We are indebted to Sec'y A. T. Bliss for a copy of the 
book issued by the Y. R. A. of Massachusetts. The book 
is much more comprehensive than ever before, and is 
splendidly printed on high-grade paper, and reflects great 
credit on those who had the matter in charge. 
For Cruising Yachtsmen. 
With the purpose of stimulating the interest in cruis- 
ing, and the keeping of a detailed log by cruising yachts- 
men during the- season of 19x12, the publishers of Forest 
and Stream offer prizes for the best stories of cruises 
submitted to be published in Forest and Stream. It is 
believed that these will form not only entertaining records 
of pleasant summer days spent afloat along our coasts and 
waterways, but will furnish information of practical value 
to other yachtsmen making subsequent cruises on the 
same waters. 
Prizes will be awarded to the three best stories as fol- 
lows : 
First prize, $50.00. 
Second prize, $30.00. 
Third prize, $20.00. 
Contributions are invited under the following condi- 
tions : 
1. The cruise must be made in waters of the United 
States or Canada in the season of 1902. 
2. The cruise must be made in a sailing yacht, power 
to be used only as an auxiliary, if at all. 
3. The story must be prefaced by a description of the 
boat. Cruises should be treated in as interesting and 
readable a way as possible, but should be practical and 
contain all possible information and data that would be of 
value to men going over the same route. A description 
of the handling of the ship in all weathers will be re- 
garded very favorably in making awards, and it is sug- 
gested to writers that an accurate account be kept of all 
incidents happening while under way. 
4. An outline chart suitable for reproduction, showing 
the course taken, must accompany each article. When 
possible, articles should be accompanied by amateur photo- 
graphs taken on the cruise, including one of the boat. 
Good photographs will be considered in making the 
awards. 
5. The story should contain about seven thousand 
words, written on one side of the paper only, and must 
be received at the office of the Forest and Stream Pub- 
lishing Company, 346 Broadway, New York city, on or 
before Nov. 15, 1902. 
Mr. T. C. Zerega has very kindly consented to act as 
judge and to make the awards. 
Yachting in the Mid-Pacific. 
Honolulu, Hawaii, April 30. — Editor Forest and Stream 3 
The prize designs of a small cruiser which have been 
published recently in Forest and Stream have proved of 
great interest to me. although living in the mid-Pacific, 
5.000 miles away. The}' undoubtedly will interest thou- 
sands of other yachtsmen, and be the means of helping 
those intending to build to secure real cruisers in which 
they will have years of pleasure. Such craft will be hard 
to outbuild, because they are rational vessels. The de- 
sign of Charles D. Mower impressed me favorably, and 
particularly the cab : n arrangement, which I propose to 
adopt on my present boat. The design" corresponds so 
closely with my yacht that perhaps a description of 
Gladys and her ability as a sea boat might be interesting 
to those contemplating building. 
Gladys was designed three years ago by V. D. Bacon, of 
Barnstable, Mass.. and was to take the place of a Cape 
Cod catboat which he had previously planned for me. I 
wanted a comfortable cruising boat and particularly de- 
manded that she should be of a good seagoing type, for I 
intended to do considerable cruising about our islands, 
and the weather is Pacific only in name at times. The 
outcome was a keel vessel of the following dimensions : 
Length over all, 37ft. 7m.; L.W.L., 25ft.; beam at deck, 
9ft. nj/ t in. ; at L.W.L. 9ft. 5 J A'm. ; draft, 5ft. 3'n. ; least 
freeboard, 2ft. 6:n. ; displacement, i4,90olbs. ; iron keel, 
6.ooolbs. Sail area, mainsail, 676 sq. ft. ; jib, 174 sq. ft. ; 
total, 850 sq. ft. Mast deck to truck, 35ft. ; boom, 31ft. 
gin. ; gaff, 18ft. ; bowsprit, outboard, 2ft. 6in. Her con- 
struction is very substantial throughout, and has never 
given any trouble. She was built by Stone' & Swanson, of 
Belvedere, Cal., and shipped to Honolulu on vessel's deck. 
She has the same half-deck across the forward end of the 
cockpit, and I believe this is a great strengthener of the 
deck structure of a boat. In many boats, when pressed, 
the canvas will wrinkle up on the cabin trunk, showing 
strain. I have never observed this in my boat, which 
leads me to think favorably of such construction. This 
deck makes a fine place for sitting or sleeping, as well 
as a table for serving lunch in the oockpit. The w. c. is 
under this deck, and gives 4ft. headroom. The cab:'n 
is arranged with two full-length transoms on each side, 
with galley and ice box forward on opposite sides. She 
has full headroom (6ft. under carlines), but one would 
not expect this from looking at drawing of the boat. 
On arrival here a great many criticisms were passed 
upon her, some favorable and others not. She was a new 
type in hull and rig. Of course one of the first things 
many yachtsmen wanted to know, "Would she be fast?" 
"Can she beat Bonnie?" Now, the latter boat was a 
Fife cutter built in Scotland, and nothing been nearer her 
in a race of twenty-five miles than half-hour astern. For 
six' years her supremacy was unquestioned. The two 
boats were o*f about the same size as to length, but the 
cutter was 8ft. beam with a draft of 7^ft. She was flush 
deck, and every appearance of a racer. The outcome of 
the first race was a victory for the American design to the 
tune of 22m. And since the first brush the Fife cutter has 
been obliged to take second place with the exception of 
one event, which was a fluky day, and conditions of wind 
unequal. Although a high-sided boat, she can both out- 
point and foot faster ihan the racing cutter. The gen- 
erous freeboard I have appreciated greatly in the off- 
shore cruising in lumpy sea, the little craft coasting along 
like a gull, always plenty of boat out of water and no 
combination of waves catching her and dumping green 
seas aboard as in low-sided craft. 
The next year after her arrival a schooner yacht was 
brought down from San Francisco. Sht was a big craft, 
about 50ft. long on deck, with ample beam and lofty rig. 
I am going to tell you about this race, because it is con- 
sidered a hard trip, even in cruising leisurely across the 
channel where the wind funnels through and the cross 
seas make it uncomfortable for large coasters. A chal- 
lenge was received from the owner of the new schooner 
for a race to Lahaina, Maui, and return. Although the 
difference was great in point of size, no time allowance 
was given, the craft sailing on even terms. Our destina- 
tion was seventy-five miles to windward and over two 
wind-swept channels. There was considerable interest 
here over the result of this race, being something out of 
the ordinary run of boating, and there was much specu- 
lation as to the outcome of speed and which would prove 
the best seagoing craft. The odds were in favor of the 
schooner, owing to largeness. 
We started one afternoon with a fresh northeast trades 
blowing. Our rival had a single reef in her mainsail. 
We were under full sail. As soon as we cleared the 
Honolulu Harbor channel and headed up the coast, we 
gradually drew away from the schooner. We kept length- 
ening the distance, until she was hull down astern when 
night shut out all further sight of her or land. We ex- 
perienced the usual channel weather when the winds were 
fresh, and the seas kept the spray flying. She was mak- 
ing beautiful weather of it notwithstanding the night was 
pitch dark and impossible for the helmsman to see the 
huge seas and meet them. The only unfortunate incident 
was running into a dead calm, where we remained for 
three hours slatting about in the swells. But after boxing 
the compass several times, we managed to get a faint 
zephyr that carried us into a good breeze, which we held 
to Lahaina. We arrived there at 10:45 A. M., just twen- 
ty and a half hours from Honolulu. 
At noon our competitor hove in sight, and we up sail 
and started homeward. The schooner gave up trying to 
round the buoy, as agreed on, fearing the light airs under 
the headlands would delay her, and when within several 
miles of the anchorage shie came about and followed us. 
The wind in the channel was blowing from twenty to 
twenty-five miles, and the high sea made the setting of the 
spinnaker risky, so we confined ourselves to the working 
sails. The other boat was able to run wing and wing, and 
this gave her a slight advantage, and she was able to close 
up the gap and even pass us during the night, but in the 
close-hauled work up the harbor channel we caught her 
and led a few lengths at the lighthouse, at the point where 
we had started the day before, and sailed a race of fully 
200 miles. The run home was made in ten hours over a 
distance of seventy-five nautical miles on the straight 
steamer route. Not bad, perhaps, for a 25ft. waterline 
cruiser. This means that she passes her length through 
the water every two seconds. Our crew felt quite pleased 
with the result of this hard race. 
From the report of the crew of the other craft, she did 
not make nearly as good weather of it as we did. During 
the night on the up trip she was obliged to take in her 
flying jib and foresail, and had a good deal of water to 
contend with below decks, the garboards leaking badly. 
Her figurehead was nearly lost, and had to be lashed to 
the bowsprit. They felt at that time they were winners, 
because we would not be able to make headway in such a 
sea and wind. We were probably not very far apart at 
the time, and experienced the same weather, and it goes 
to prove the old saying that it is not always the big boat 
that is the best sea boat. 
The short bowsprit cannot be improved upon for sea 
work. With the snubbed affair headsails can be handled 
from the deck, and you haven't the worry of the long stick 
out ahead diving into green seas. 
In outside work we usually tuck in one reef, and under 
this canvas she is very comfortably Have only twice 
had her down to double reefs and storm jib, and once 
under three and small jib. This was during the March gale 
of this year. It was the worst northeast blow for the past 
twenty years, and did considerable damage to 'shipping 
and on shore. It came suddenly, and several fishing boats 
were caught and had a hard struggle with wind and 
waves Jwo were driven to sea, and have never been
