New Restricted Classes for the Atlantic Y* C. 
For some time past it has been the desire of a number 
of Atlantic Y, C. members to secure several classes of 
boats of moderate size m which good racing was to bo 
had. The one-design plan was not approved of nor was 
it desired that the boats should be built under any formula. 
This together with keeping the price of the boats down to 
a reasonable figure was what Mr. George Hill, the Secre- 
tary of the club, had in mind when he sent out letters to 
a number of reputable builders, of which the following is 
a copv : 
x\ug. II, 1902. 
Gentlemen : I would be pleased to receive from you 
on or before Sept. i, sketch plans tO' lin. scale, with sketch 
specification and proposal for one or more of the follow- 
ing restricted classes, and would be obliged if you would 
advise me as to whether or not I may expect to receive 
the same from you. Your proposal to state the price bid 
for one boat and the price bid should three of the same 
or similar type be ordered. 
It is the intention of the committee to secure the build- 
ing of boats of different types as far as possible, as we 
wish to determine by actual practice which type is best 
suited to our waters. In furtherance of this idea you 
may if you wish, submit several different designs for each 
class. Of course the committee reserve the right to re- 
ject any or all proposals. Should the order be given for 
any yachts, delivery would not be expected prior to May 
I5> 1903. Should you wish to submit models instead of 
drawings, they nuist not exceed 24in. long, including the 
back board, and must be simply varnished with the erect 
and inclined waterlines shown on the same by a fine black 
line. The general instructions are as follows: 
Inc. L.W.T... Sail Area, Displacement, Draft. 
Class. Feet. .Square Feet. Pounds. Feet. 
N 30 1.000 1 0.000 7 
i> 25 600 G.OOO H 
0 21 400 3,500 r. 
li IS 325 2,800 l 
The inclined -waterline is to be the length of the load 
vt'aterline, as determined from the plans when the yacht is 
inclined to the greatest angle at which she should be 
heeled when undtr way. This angle is to be stated in the 
certificate. The sa 1 area is to be the actual area of the 
sails used when going to windward when full stretched, 
80 per cent, of the area being placed in the mainsail. A 
balloon jib may be carried, but the luff must not go out- 
side of the luff of the jib. A spinnaker may be carried 
having an area equal to 75 per cent, of the area of the 
sail aft of the main mast. The displacement stated is a 
minimum. A greater displacement may be used if de- 
sired. The ballast must not exceed 40 per cent, of the 
displacement. The construction should be of yellow pine 
or cypress planking : oak keel and frames ; galvanized iron 
fittings; deck and cabin house canvased; coaming of oak; 
spars solid ; blocks of bronze ; stays of steel ; the sails 
should be light and mildew proofed. Centerboard and 
rudder of steel galvanized. No slide on the cabin top, 
but two doors to get into the cabin, which would project 
i2in. above deck for the smaller yachts, and not more 
than i8in. for the larger ones. Small square hatch for- 
ward of the mast. Yacht to steer with a tiller with a 7ft. 
dinghy of the sharpy type with oars and rowlocks and a 
fender on the bow. Yacht equipment to include all light 
Fails, water proofed ; sail cover for mainsail ; two small 
ring life buoys, two anchors, fifteen fathoms of Manila 
cable, ten fathoms of 5^in. running line; sweep, boat hook, 
lead and lead line.

The Palm a Trophy. 
The All-American team, which will engage in the International 
contest for the Palma trophy at Ottawa, Canada, Sept. 13, has been 
very carefully reorganized, and, due to the known skill and steadi- 
ness of its members in competition, there is a feeling that the 
Palma trophy, emblematic of long-range skill and success with 
the rifle, may this year return to the United States, where it was 
so many years held in possession.
