Boston Letter. 
Boston, Dec. 28.— Another order for a 22-footer 
has been heard from. This boat will be designed by 
Fred Lawley and built by the Lawley Company, but 
Mr. Lawley will not say who the owner is to be. From 
all that has been heard, however, it looks as though 
the yacht will fly the pennant of Vice Commodore H. 
H. Wiggin, of the Annisquam Y. C. Her keel has been 
turned out, and she will be set up in the east shop this 
week. The decks of the Clark 6oft. schooner and the 
Adriance .34ft. yawl are being finished up. About all 
of the cabin work has been put in the 50ft. ketch for 
Mr. J. Cromwell. The boiler and engine are be- 
ing made ready for the new steam yacht for Mr. C. A. 
Fletcher. Her joiner work has been turned out and is 
all ready to go in her. At present the workmen are 
busy on her decks. The frames for the Emery steam 
yacht are being bent. 
_ Crowninshield has been at work on a number of de- 
signs. Two of his orders are for yachts to comply 
with the new rating rule of the New York Y. C, and 
two of them are to be built for the tonnage rule on 
orders from Stockholm, Sweden. In his designs, un- 
der the ne\y rules, he has gone to great length on the 
wateriiuc. One of his Stockholm orders is a 12-ton- 
ner for Avel Winstrom. The tonnage rule there being 
arrived at by figuring length and sail area; Crownin- 
shield has figured his displacement as low as possible. 
He has put the weight well down, and, at the same 
time, has given much initial stability to the form of his 
boat. This boat will be about 52ft. over all, 30ft. 
watcrline, loft. 6in. beam and 8ft. 2in. draft. She will 
carry 1,800 sq. ft. of sail. 
The other Stockholm boat will be a 5-tonner for A. 
I^lym. This boat will be 4.3ft. over all, 24ft. 6in. water- 
line, gft. beirm and 6ft. gin, draft. She will carry about 
g6i scj. ft. of sail. The same argument is carried out 
as in the design of the larger boat, except the efifort 
to shorten the waterline has been carried to a greater 
proportionate degree, 
A 55ft. waterline, .shoal-draft auxiliary schooner is 
bemg designed for Lawrence Jones, of Louisville, Ky. 
'^I'he new boat will be about 83ft. over all, Ssft. water- 
line, 20ft. beam and 3ft. draft. She will be supplied 
with a 25 horsepower kerosene engine. Mr. Jones has 
a place in Florida, and he is desifous of laavmg power 
so that he may get up the narrow, crooked river chan- 
nels in a head wind. At present Mr. Jones has under 
charter the schooner Attaciuin, owned by Durbin 
Horne. She Avas also designed by Crowninshield. The 
Attaquin has been fitted out for a Southern cruise. 
Another design is a 30-rater for O. B. Weber, of 
New York. The lines for this boat had been drawn, 
but the work had to be done over again on account 
of the changes in the New York Y. C. rules. She will 
be 44ft. over all, 29ft. waterline, 9ft. 6in. beam and 6ft. 
gin. draft. She •will carry about 1,100 sq. ft. of sail. 
Her builders will be Tuthill & Higby, of Greenport, 
L. I. 
A 43-rater has been designed for Trenor L. Park, 
which is now toeing built by Lawley. She will be about 
72ft. over all, 41ft. waterline, lift. 6in. beam and 8ft. 
Sin. draft. She will carry about 3,500 sq. ft. of sail. 
This boat will be of composite build. Her framing 
amidships will be of a composition known as naval 
bronze, and the rest will be steel. She will have single 
mahogany planking. 
The lines of a small fisheirman have been turned out 
for H. Hughes, of Seattle. She is intended for ocean 
work, and will be used in the halibut fisheries. She 
will be 71ft. over all, 50ft. waterline, 17ft. beam and 9ft. 
4in. draft. She will be of about 30 tons displacement, 
and will carry 2,600 sq. ft. of sail. 
There is now building at Lawley's, from lines by this 
designer, a keel cruising sloop for W. B. Rogers, to 
FOREST AND STREAM, 
it 
J 
be used on Lake Champlain. She will be 59ft. 6in. 
over all, 36ft. 6in. Avaterline, 13ft. beam and 7ft. loin. 
draft. She will have considerably longer keel than 
most modern boats. 
A 50ft. waterline schooner has been designed for 
Capt. L. D. Baker. She will be a centerboard boat 
and her construction will be very heavy. She will be 
77ft. 8in. over all, 50ft. waterline, 17ft. beam and Sft. 
8in. draft. She will carry about 2,800 sq. ft. of sail 
and her' ballast will be all inside. 
T. A. McKlinnon has ordered from Crowninshield 
a 2ift. keel raceabout, which is now being built by 
Graves, of Marblehead. This is the first order for a 
new raceabout to be used in Massachusetts Bay waters 
that has been heard from. She will be 33Ft. 6in. over 
all, 2ift. waterline, 7ft. 7in. extreme beam and 5ft. 6in. 
draft. She will have a sternpost rudder and will not 
be a scow. The raceabout being built hy Smith, of 
Quincy Point, for Joshua Crane,^ Jr., will also be a 
keel boat. She is 36ft. sin. over all, 20ft. Sin. water- 
line, 7ft. gin. extreme beam and 6ft. 6j.4in. draft. She 
will also have a sternpost rudder. 
Burgess and Packard have received another order 
for a 22-footer. Mr. Burgess would not state for whom 
she is to be built, but it is believed that she will be for 
Mr. Edward McWilliams, _ of Dwight, 111., .who sum- 
mers at Marblehead, and is a member of the Corin- 
thian Y. C. The three orders for 22-footers received 
by Burgess and Packard and the one received hy Fred 
Lawley, are the only ones that are believed to have 
been actuall placed. Mr. Burgess reports that the first 
Seawanhaka challenger is all planked at Manchester 
and that the second one will be started in a few weeks. 
One of the four orders received by this firm for 25- 
footers is from Commodore J; E. I)oherty, of the Co- 
lumbia Y. C, who owns Early Dawn, in the same class. 
Hollis Burgess has sold to W. Starling Burgess the 
old cutter Edith, designed by J. Beavor Webb, and 
built by Lawler, of East BostoHj in 1880. The yacht 
1 
1^ 
has been the property of W. B. Stearns. Some altera- 
tions will be made on her, and Mr. Burgess will Irve 
on boai-d during the suhnner motiths. 
Mr. E, T. Bigelow, of Med ford, has ordered from 
the Marblehead Yacht Yard a 25ft. launch, which wdl 
be fitted with a 15 horsepower engine. She will be de- 
signed by W. B. Stearns. At this yard the work on the 
4rft yawl for Mr. J. P. Elton is going ahead, and it is 
expected that the boat will be in frame liiis week. A 
new stern ha.s befin put on the 40-footer Gorilla, and 
alterations have been made on the cabin of the naph- 
tha launch Enola. 
R. A. Boardman has received an order to turn out 
Ihe "lines for a one-design class for the Royal Nova 
Scotia Y. G;, 0f Halifax. It is expected that a num- 
ber of these boats will be built. He has also received 
orders for two 14-footers, one a keel, and the other 
centerboard. Two iS-footers of his design have been 
laid down at White's yard, Manchester. 
A ne.\y one-de-sign class is to be built for members 
of the Lynn Y. C. from lines by Charles D. Mower. 
They will be 23ft. over all, isft. waterline, 7ft. beam and 
7in. draft. They will carry about 400 sq. ft. of sail. 
In general form they will resemble the champion 15- 
footer Vitesse, which Mr. Mower designed and built 
in 1897. It is expected that six will be built by Bezan- 
S-on, of Beverly. One will be for Mr. Mower and 
will be raced by Thomas Fleming Day at Cottage City.

Rosamond. 
I'uE photograph of the 40ft. waterline auxiliary yawl 
Rosamond was taken as she was entering Kenosha 
Harbor on Oct. 22, 1902. Rosamond was designed by 
her owner, Mr. William J. Starr, of Eau Claire, Wis,, 
an amateur designer of consideralile ability. The boat 
ROSAMOND. 
Owned by Wm. J. Starr, Eau Claire, Wis. 
has proven herself a fine cruiser, able, fast, safe and 
comfortable. With power she does better than seven 
miles an hour under reasonably favorable conditions. 
fTer very satisfactory performances under all condi- 
tions of wind and weather on Lake Michigan during 
the past three seasons, have made many yawl con- 
verts. 
A complete de^ription of Rosamond, together with 
her plans, appeared in Forest and Stream of April 
14 and 21, rgoo. 
The .steam yacht Hanoli has been sold by Mr. Frank 
M. Smith to a member of the New York Y. C.
