OUTBOAKD PROFILE AND CABIN PLAN OF HOUSE-BOAT DESIGNED BY SWASEY, RAYMOND & PAGE. 
Mr. George A. Cormack, the secretary of the club, 
has had the following circular letter sent to all yacht 
owners who are members of the club : "As it is re- 
quired by the racing rules that all yachts be meas- 
ured before sailing in the club events of 1903, it is 
requested that you at once notify the rneasurer at the 
clubhouse if you wish your yacht measured under the 
new rule, and if so, state where she is laid up so that 
some of the necessary measurements may be taken 
before the yacht is put in the water. 
"Your prompt attention to this matter will not only 
greatly facilitate the work of the measurer, but also 
avoid the possibility of delay in obtaining the new 
racing measurement of your boat."

A meeting of the American Power Boat Association 
was held at the Columbia Y. C. house, foot of West 
Eighty-sixth Street, New York Citj', on Wednesday 
evening, April 22. The following officers were elected: 
President, W. H. Ketcham, Columbia Y. C; Secretary, 
John H. Mcintosh, Columbia Y. C; Treasurer, A. B. 
Cole, Manhasset Bay Y. C; Measurer, Henry J. Gie- 
low, Atlantic Y. C. ; Executive Committee, the officers 
and Dr. E. B. Sherwood, Shattemuck Y. C; Frank 
Bowne Jones, Indian Harbor Y. C, and J. H. Wain- 
wright, American Y. C. 
Secretary J. H. Mcintosh read a letter from the 
Marine Motor Association of Great Britain, which 
said that the motor boat races for the Harmsworth 
Cup would take place in Queenstown Harbor on July 
II. The cup will be awarded to the fastest boat not 
over 40ft. long; there are no other restrictions. Mr. 
Mcintosh stated that at least' one boat \yould be sent 
over to represent the American Association in the 
races. 
Desigfn for a Houseboat. 
The plans of the houseboat that we publish herewith 
were made by Messrs. Swasey, Raymond & Page. The 
design shows a craft of simple construction and large 
accommodation that could be built at a comparatively 
small cost. The boat is of the stationary type, having 
neither sail nor motive power, and would have to be 
towed from place to place. 
She is 49ft. 6in. over all, 44ft. 6in. waterline, 13ft. 
breadth and ift. Sin. draft. The forward deck is 6ft. 6in. 
long and the after deck is 7ft. 6in. long. The cabin house 
is 34ft. long and the roof over this extends the full width 
and length of the boat in order to give protection to the 
forward and after deck. The sides and the ends of the 
cabin house are covered with weather boards in order to 
make the cabins warm and tight. The roof is covered 
W'ith canvas and by putting up iron stanchions it could be 
covered with a canvas awning so as to afford protection 
from the rain and sun. This would make a comfortable 
lounging place and would make the cabins much cooler 
as the awning would save the roof of the cabin from the 
sun's direct rays. 
The main saloon is in the forward end of the boat. 
This room is 12ft. long and has windows on three sides. 
Wide lounges extend around four sides of the cabin. A 
passageway 2ft. 3in. wide runs aft from the main cabin 
to the galley. On the port side of the passage are two 
staterooms 8ft. long and 5ft. wide. On the starboard 
side is another stateroom 8ft. long and sft. wide, and a 
toilet room 3ft. by 5ft. 
The galley is 6ft. 6in. long and 7ft. 6in. wide. Open- 
ing from the galle}' is a pantry 3ft. by 5ft. On the port 
side of the galley is the servants' room, 5ft. wide and 6ft. 
6in. long. 
This plan conveys a good idea of what a large amount 
of room may be had on a small houseboat. The interior 
arrangement could, of course, be changed to meet special 
requirements, but the room has been economically and 
carefully disposed of in every way.
