LINES AND CONSTRUCTION ULAN OF 15-FOOTER — -DESIGNED BY NORMAN L. SKENE FOR PROF. JOHN. W. PILLSBURY. 
Japanese shipwrights, who turn out very good work, and 
the cost of construction is low. One of the most prom- 
inent members of the Yacht Club, a gentleman who has 
done a great deal for the good of the sport, and a very 
successful designer, has in connection with his business 
a staff of sailmakers. Yacht sails supplied from his loft 
have been pronounced by good judges to be equal to 
anything obtainable in America. Altogether the expenses 
of yachting in Yokohama are lower than almost any- 
where else in the world, anyone with a taste for the 
sport can indulge in it to the top of his bent.
