FOREST • AND STREAM, 
[Nov. 19, 1904. 
Pleasure. 
As Sailboat and Cruiser. 
Pleasure was designed and built for day service in 
the Great South Bay, Long Island, by the Herreshoff 
Mfg. Co., in 1 901, and this accounts for her main 
characteristics, the water there being shoal and the 
winds strong. 
Her dimensions are as follows: 
Length- 
Over all 64ft. 3in. 
L. W. L .. . 45ft. 6in. 
Overhang — 
Forward .... * 10ft. 
Aft 8ft. gin. 
Breadth- 
Extreme 15ft. ioin. 
L. W. L 14ft. 6in. 
Draft- 
To rabbet 2ft. 3m. 
Extreme 3ft. oin. 
Board down 9ft. 
Freeboard — 
Forward 4ft. 9m. 
Least 2ft. 2in. 
Aft 3ft. 2in. 
These figures give one some idea of the boat's size. 
Her sail area, of about 1,800 sq. ft., makes her very 
easy to handle, particularly as there is no bowsprit 
and no topmast, and it is a simple matter to pull down 
the head sails. Her rig makes her a knockabout, al- 
though she is larger than the boats usually known as 
such. 
As she was intended to make the passage through 
Fire Island Inlet in all weathers, she was very sub- 
stantially built, double planked from the turn of the 
bilge to the planksheer, ceiled up throughout, and her 
frames and stringers are unusually heavy, the former 
being fastened to the keel with bronze knees. Bolted 
to the keel is about 6y 2 tons of lead in one piece. 
Her length and breadth give her a fine deck, which is 
cut by a house about 11ft. 6in. long, and a cockpit 13ft.
