= W. L. Now for sail area-tax we'll use the Sea- 
wanhaka rule of W. L. + V sail area divided by 2 — - 
R. L. This gives us C. W. L. — ^ beam at W. L. +. 
V S. A. divided by 2 = R. L. 
By using the Seavyanhaka rule with mine it makes 
it advisable to build a powerful boat and discourages 
the builder from building a long over-hanger, or a boat, 
too sharp to obtain seaworthy qualities, which my rule 
used alone would do. E. F. Chambers.

Sir Christopher Furness has chartered his new 
turbine steam yacht Emerald, through the agency of 
Messrs. Gardner & Cox, to Mr. George J. Gould. 
Captain Donald Tod will go to England in the early 
spring and bring the yacht back to America. The fol- 
lowing account of Emerald is from the London Field: 
"The new yacht which has been built to designs 
by Mr. F. J. Stephen, is a vessel of very handsome ap- 
pearance, no extent of accommodation having been 
sacrificed to obtain speed. The intention of the de- 
signer is to obtain a speed of 16 knots with an entire 
absence of vibration and an exceptionally low coal 
consumption. Dimensions: Length over all, 236ft.; 
breadth, 28ft. 8in.; moulded depth, 18ft. 6in. She has 
been constructed under Lloyd's special survey to Class 
100 A I, and has a fine cutwater stem, with a beautifully 
carved figure head; a long stern and a range of teak- 
panelled deckhouses extending amidships for about 
iiSft. A promenade deck from side to side of the 
vessel is carried the whole length of the deckhouses, 
and on it will be placed the boats — one oi which is a 
high-speed launch — and a large teak deckhouse for 
deck lounges and navigating room. 
"The erections on the upper deck include staircases, 
deck lounge, cloak room, dining saloon, smoking room, 
drawing room, drying room, pantry and gulley cas- 
ings for boiler and turbine machinery and an open 
deck shelter at the extreme after end. A half topgal- 
lant mast, about 31ft. in height, is fitted with a steam 
windlass and chain and anchor gear. Below, in the 
'tween "decks, there are seven officers' rooms, sixteen 
berths for the crew and also bath rooms and lava- 
tories. The bulwarks fore and aft are of steel, with 
teak top rail and inside paneling of teak. Two cellular 
double bottoms have been fitted, one forward and one 
under the turbines, for purposes of draft_ when the 
vessel is cruising light, or for a supply of fresh water 
for the boilers. The dining-room occupies the forward 
portion of the group of public rooms in the range of 
deckhouses, while the drawing room and smoking room 
are at the after end. From the entrance to the dining-

room one stair communicates with the owner's suite 
of four staterooms, and another with the lounge and 
promenade deck above. 
"The accommodation for guests comprises six bed 
rooms. The style of designs in the entrances and pub- 
lic rooms is a free treatment of the English and French 
renaissance. In the dining saloon the panelings are 
of time-mellowed elm, with bone inlaid figures in the 
panels. The drawing room is of eighteenth century 
work, the paneling of dado and door being of fine- 
toned satinwood, and the walls of Tynecastle canvas.
