[May i6, 1903. 
SAIL PLAN OF THE 38-FOOT WATERLINE CRUISING CUTTER PELLEGRINA. 
Designed by Messrs. Burgess & Packard for Co'. R. H. Morgan, 1903. 
Harbor class last season, and was designed and built by 
Herreshoff. 
With these entries the Manhasset Bay Y. C. is assured 
keen racing, and whichever boat finally wins the coveted 
mug will certainly have to make a good showing to do so. 
The match will be managed by a committee consisting 
of a representative appointed by the Indian Harbor Y. C. 
(the first club challenging), one by the Manhasset Bay 
Y. C, and a third member to be selected by the two first 
chosen. The Indian Harbor Y. C. will be represented by 
Mr. Stuyvesant Wainwright, of the American Y. C, and 
the Manhasset Bay Club has chosen Mr. Walter C. Kerr, 
of the Seawanhaica-Corinthian Y. C, to act for them. 
Both of these men have had extended experience both as 
racing men and committeemen, and are thoroughly con- 
versant with the racing rules, so that the supervision of 
the match will be in good hands. 
In addition to the committee boat, the Manhasset Bay 
Club will provide a club steamer to enable its members 
and those of the challenging clubs to witness the series. 
Pellegffina. 
We are glad to announce that Colonel R. N. Mor- 
gan, of the New York Y. C, has again joined the ranks 
of yacht owners, and will fly his flag (a blue swallow 
tail with a vertical zigzag red bar) on board his new 
cruiser Pellegrina, designed by Messrs. Burgess & 
Packard, and now ready for launching at the yard of 
the builders, Geo. Lawley & Son, Corp., South Bos- 
ton. We are indebted to Messrs. Burgess and Pack- 
ard for Pellegrina's plans. 
Colonel Morgan had the 35ft. waterline cutter Rondi- 
nella built in 1900 by Stearns, of Marblehead. She was 
designed under the former New York Y. C. measure- 
ment rule as the largest boat that could be run with 
two men. Pellegrina was designed to fit in the K 
class New York Y. C. new classification 40ft. sailing 
length as a cruiser. Her rig is about the same size as 
Rondinella's, which contained about 1,800 sq. ft. of 
canvas. Pellegrina is 3ft. longer on the waterline than 
Rondinella, and is of somewhat heavier construction 
and has less ballast. 
Pellegrina hails from Plymouth, and any interested 
reader may trace her name back to the Pilgrim Fathers. 
Her dimensions are as follows: 
Length — 
Over all 57^. 
L. W. L 38ft. 
Overhang — 
Forward 8ft. 9 in. 
Aft loft. 3 in- 
Breadth- 
Extreme • 13ft. 2 in. 
L. W. L 12ft. 10 in. 
Draft- 
Extreme 8ft. i^i'm. 
Freeboard — 
Forward 3ft. iij^in- 
Aft 3ft. Hin. 
Least 2ft. 8^in. 
Below - decks Pellegrina makes up six berths aft, as 
the Colonel wishes to provide room for his sons' Har- 
vard chums. Two would be a sufficient crew, but in 
order that the boat can make any necessary trips with- 
out the owner, a competent sailing master will be 
shipped. 
The interior finish 'is of mahogany with the sides of 
cabin house and under side of cabin top white enamel. 
The furnishings, such as carpets, curtains and cushions, 
are to be in green. The stove in main cabin is of 
Dutch tiles, representing attractive marine studies. 
Stowage room has been well looked after, and each 
guest will be provided with ample space for his dun- 
nage. A good locker for bags is found under the cock- 
pit and deck on the starboard side.

The third annual meeting of the Southern Gulf Coast 
Yachting Association, held at Biloxi, Miss., Sunday, 
April 26, was fruitful of good results for the upbuilding 
of the sport in the South. The delegates of the asso- 
ciation paid the Southern Y. C. the compliment of 
adopting its new rule of measurement, which is highly 
flattering to the local club. This rule of measurement 
was gotten up for the express purpose of being fair 
to every kind and size of yachts that might desire to 
race. It is the outcome of a lifetime of study of yacht- 
ing and the yachting rules of the world, and it was in- 
tended to meet with the approbation of the entire 
yachting fraternity in both the old and the new hemis- 
pheres, which has been the Case to the great reputation 
of the Southern Y. C, and not for the purpose of 
favoring any one club in a union of clubs nor of foster- 
ing a particular size nor type of yacht. It is safe to 
say that there will be no winning type of boat come 
up that the Southern Y. C. will not have a share in the 
game, and that was another reason its new rule was de- 
sired to be absolutely fair and impartial to any kind 
of a hull that might be devised. What rule could be 
fairgr to any particular design, or to all kinds of 
models of boats than one that does not require any 
hull measurements at all? _ 
The next best thing accomplished by the association 
was in adopting a uniform classification of yachts. In 
adopting one set of rules and one classification for the 
six association regattas the main object of the forma- 
tion of the S. G. C. Yachting Association is accom- 
plished. — L. D. Sampsell, in the New Orleans Times-

New York on May 4. She left Greenock on April 17 
and stopped at Fayal, Azores, to recoal, leaving there 
on April 23. Very bad weather was experienced 
throughout the trip, and the yacht's sea-going quali- 
ties and machinery were put to the severest possible 
test. The yacht is owned by Sir Christopher Furniss, 
and is under charter to Mr. George Gould. Captain 
Donald Tod brought Emerald out to the States. He 
spoke in the highest terms of the yacht's behavior at

by Mr. Seymour J. Hyde, put back to Gourock for the 
second time. She sailed from this port on April 24,

standing between the sailing master and the navigating 
officer. The mate was put in the captain's place, who 
quit, and on May 3 the yacht again started on her 
voyage across the Atlantic. When some forty or fifty
