The 22ft* Cabin Yacht Association. 
Object. 
To establish the definition and limitations of a 22ft. 
waterline cabin yacht, and to make such rules as will pre- 
serve the t)'pe of boat. 
To establish a seaworthy type of cabin boat, with sub- 
stantial construction and good cruising accommodations, 
and of such dimensions that keel and centerboard boats 
shall be as nearly as possible on an equality as to speed. 
To allow as much latitude in design as is consistent 
with the construction of a healthy type of boat. 
By-Laws.

Definition and Lfmitatioa. 
Definition. — A 22ft. cabin yacht is intended to be a sea- 
worthy type of cruising and racing yacht, substantially 
constructed, properly ballasted, and with moderate sail 
plan, and cabin trunk, having suitable cabin accommoda- 
tions below, and conforming to the limitations herein men- 
tioned. 
Length L. W. L.— The length of the load waterline, 
with full equipment, shall not exceed 22ft. 
Beam. — The beam at the load waterlme shall be at 
least 6ft. 6in. 
Length O. A.— The over all length shall not exceed 
38ft. Neither the forward nor the after overhang shall 
exceed 6ft. 6in. 
Bow. — A square or sm:b-nose bow shall not be allowed 
and accordingly the beam is limited at a point equi-distant 
between the waterline forward and the extreme bow to 
not more than 45 per cent, of the greatest waterline beam. 
The g rth of the hull at the same point shall not exceed 
the number of inches represented by the sum of the beam 
plus the depth of hull plus three, measured at the same 
point. The deck line shall not run at an angle with the 
C! nter line greater than 30 degrees. Any evasion of the 
M i'-it as well as the letter of this rule shall disqualify a 
jacht from racing in this class and the decision of the 
Judges of tliis Association shall be final on that question. 
Freeboard. — The freeboard .shall be not less than 22iii. 
Displacement. — All boats shall weigh when rigged and 
equipped in accordance with these rules, not less than 
8,ooolbs._ It shall be the duty of the measurer to see that 
nothing is on board when the boat is weighed except what 
these rules prescribe, and that the boat is in every way in 
her normal condition. 
Ballast. — The outside ballast shall be not less than 
3,ooolbs., exclusive of any ballast on the centerboard. 
Cockpit. — The cockpit floor shall be above the L.W.L,

der cabin trunk beams and over the cabin floor for the en- 
tire space required, shall be not less than 4ft. Bin. 
Fixtures.— There shall be a substantial partition at the 
after end of cabin, three permanent lockers, ice box, and 
suitable transoms. The top of the transoms shall have a

or equivalent compensation for sailing or assisting to 
sail a yacht. 
Sail Area.^ — The sail area shall not exceed 900 square 
feet. The actual area of the mainsail and working jibs 
shall be measured by the measurer. The number of 
square feet in each sail shall be stamped on each sail by 
the measurer, in full round black figures, not less than 
three inches high. This number shall be known as the 
official number of the sail, and shall always be visible. 
Any yacht using a sail not bearing the official number 
shall be disqualified, any rules to the contrary notwith- 
standing. 
The measurer shall be provided with the correct sail 
plan of any boat to be measured, and shall cause dis- 
tinguishing marks to be placed on the spars as follows: 
On the masts at the tack and at the throat of the main- 
sail, on the boom at the clew of the mainsail. There 
shall be only one mark at each point. These marks 
shall be black bands, not less than one inch wide, painted 
around the spar, which shall be the official marks. The 
inner edges of the bands shall mark the limits to which 
the sails may stretch without exceeding the sail area al- 
lowed. No part of any sail shall extend beyond these 
marks, and the marks shall always be kept visible. 
In no case shall the area of the mainsail exceed 80 
per cent, of the entire area allowed. 
No yacht, when close hauled, shall carry any jib other 
than the working jibs for which she has been measured. 
Spinnakers and all headsails, the actual area of which 
is not measured, shall be triangular. No spinnaker shall 
extend above the spinnaker halyard block, or beyond the 
end of the spinnaker boom. • No jib shall extend above 
the highest jib halyard block, or beyond the end of the 
bowsprit.

end of the spinnaker boom, when the latter is at right 
angle to the fore and aft center line of the yacht, shall 
not exceed twenty-five feet. The spinnaker halyard block 
shall be placed not more than thirty-eight feet above the 
deck. 
The distance from the center of the mast to the forward 
end of the bowsprit, multiplied by the height of the high- 
est jib halyard block above the deck, shall not exceed 
300 per cent, of the actual area of the working headsail. 
Battens shall not be used in the' sails which extend 
more than three feet from the leech.

closer together if desired. Two adjoining frames abreast 
each mast and one^at each runner plate must be increased 
in size in proportion as they are cut by the chain plate 
fastenings.

cockpit, and one at transom. The auxiliary beams and 
the half beams abreast of the house and cockpit may be 
of the smaller areas given for each in the table. The 
beams may be spaced at will, provided the maximum dis-

beams at end. 
H-Planking — The dimensions given in the table are 
the minimum thickness allowed after final planing. 
I-Deck — The thickness given for the deck plank ap-

she carries 187ft. in her jib and 754ft. in her mainsail, 
making a total of 941 sq. ft. The length of her spin- 
naker boom is 25ft. 6in. She has i,28olbs. of ballast un- . 
der the floor and on her centerboard. She is owned by 
Mr. T. K. Lothrop, Jr.

Mass. She is 20ft. loin. cn the waterline, 37ft. 6in. over 
all. Her breadth at deck is 9ft- 6in. and 9ft. 2in. at water- 
line. She is 20in. deep to rabbet and has 3ft, loin. of fin, 
lier extreme draft being 5ft. 6in. Her forward overhang 
is 9ft. 3in. The ballast required under the rule is i,882lbs. 
and her sail area is 844 sq. ft., 675ft. being in the mainsail

There appears in our columns this week a photograph 
oi Cherokee. This fine cruiser was designed this year 
by Messrs. Tams, Lemoine & Crane, and built by" the 
Geo. Lawley & Son Corp. for Mr. H. A. Morss. Her 
owner has used the boat steadily all summer, and she 
has turned out satisfactory in every way. A long- de- 
scription and the yacht's plans were published in Forest 
AND Stream of Jan. 18. 1902.

The proposed international yacht race for the Fisher 
cup between Gooderham's Clorita and Stace's Llelene has 
been declared oflF. A conditional challenge was awaiting 
the decision of Mr. Stace to enter his schooner, but, after 
a long search for the skipper he wanted, he informed the 
Rochester Y. C. that he could not put Helene in. Helena 
and Clorita are practically sister yachts, having been de- 
signed by A. Gary Smith, of New York, who designed 
Emperor William's Meteor III. Both flew at one time 
the pennant of the New York Y. C. In August, yEmilius 
Jarvis, acting for Mr. Gooderhara, asked the Rochester
