SPECIAL CRUISING CLASS CANOE- — LINES AND CONSTRUCTION PLAN. 
leg-o'-mutton mainsail and small jib are used, the latter 
being rigged to boom out and act as spinnaker. 
The new boats are to be 17 feet over all and 42 inches 
at the greatest beam. The sail plan calls for 135 square 
feet of canvas figured according to the English rule. The 
restrictions of the present racing canoe provided for a 
boat 16 feet over all, 30 inches beam, carrying 112 square 
feet of sail. 
The cruisers are to be painted on the outside, except the 
top strake, which will be varnished. Each boat will be 
fitted with water-tight compartments, making it non- 
sinkable. The straight features of the sides and the cock- 
pit arrangement will make it impossible to fill the craft, 
even though the sail be lying flat in the water. A zinc 
dagger centerboard of the Linton Hope type, weighing 
65 pounds, will be used. 
A feature of the boat is three feet clear cockpit space 
aft of the centerboard trunk. She will draw 5 inches. 
With the board down the draft will be 3 feet. The hull 
will weigh 200 pounds. The total displacement with crew 
of one aboard will be near 510 pounds. Hollow spars 
will be used. Boats building for New York Canoe Club 
members will be raced at the annual A. C. A. meet which 
occurs this year at Sugar Island, the new Association 
property at the Thousand Islands.
