OPEN LATJNCH ARRANGEMENT PLAN AND OUTBOARD PROFILE. 
Designed by Messrs. Tams, Lemoine & Crane for the Smith & Mabley Co., New York City. 1904. 
sufficiently to give full head room and at the same time 
is not high enough to give the boat a top-heavy ap- 
pearance, which is noted on many small cabin launches. 
Mr. Douglass will use the launch as a tender for his 
30-footer Shiyessa, and also as a ferry between the 
Hull and Rowe's wharf anchorages of the Boston Y. 
C. Another launch in the boat shop is for a Boston 
yachtsman, who wishes his name withheld for the pres- 
ent. This boat is 36ft. long, open, with torpedo boat 
stern, and will be driven by a 16 horsepower engine. 
In the west shop the frames for the new 90ft. schooner 
for Mr. F. F. Brewster are being trued up. In the east 
shop the. 43ft. schooner for Mr. Bancroft C. Davis is 
receiving the finishing touches. The cabin work is be- 
ing finished in the 30-footer for Mr. Albert Stone and 
an 83ft. twin-screw gasolene yacht is partly planked. 
Messrs ' Swazey, Raymond and Page have a number 
of designs of launches under way. One very neat 
design is of the hunting launch type, but with much 
more speedy appearance than is usually noted in boats 
of the type. She is intended for shore cruising, having 
a saloon forward. The engine is placed abaft the 
break of the cabin trunk. Chairs are placed about a 
very roomy standing room. This boat is 30ft. over 
all, 6ft. oin. beam, and 2iin. draft. The motive power 
will be a 10 horsepower gasolene engine. This firm 
has also turned out a 40ft. auxiliary yawl for Mr. 
Buckley, of Philadelphia. Among others of their 
design, is a 75ft. launch for western parties. This boat 
will be twin-screw, with engines of 50 horsepower each. 
At Marblehead Messrs. Stearns and McKay are busy 
on new work and on alterations on yachts stored in the 
yards during the winter. They have designed a hunt- 
ing cabin launch, with considerable room under a low 
trunk, for Mr. Nelson Frank, of Philadelphia. She will 
be 35ft. over all and 8ft. 6in. beam, with a 12 horsepower 
engine. 
Mr. B. B. Crowninshield has an order for a 27- 
footer under the proposed new rating rule, for 
Rochester parties. Mr. Crowninshield is in favor of 
the general principles of the new system except that 
he thinks the centerboard boats are likely to be • at a 
disadvantage. A number of sets of plans for new 
boats are being worked out on the Crowninshield 
boards. 
Messrs Burgess & Packard are at work upon a fast 
power launch, which is to compete in the American 
Power Boat Association races on the Hudson next 
season. It is believed that this boat is for Mr. H. L. 
Bowden, for whom they designed and built Mercedes, 
U. S. A., last season. They are also designing a 40ft. 
automobile boat for Mr. William Wallace, which is to 
have an estimated speed of 28 miles an hour. They are 
also designing a 38ft. cruising launch for Mr. Wilder. 
Mr. W. J. J. Young, who drew the lines for the 
steam yacht Pantooset, has designed a 21-footer for 
Dr. E. W. Gahan, of the South Boston Y. C, which Dr. 
Gahan is now building in his boat shop at Dorchester. 
This boat will be 27ft. iin. over all, 20ft. oin. waterline, 
lift. 4in. beam and 2ft. oin. draft. She will displace 
7,700 pounds with 1,400 pounds outside, and will carry 
888 sq. ft. of sail. She will be raced at Halifax and 
Yarmouth. John B. Killeen. 
Two Designs for Open Launches. 
We_ are reproducing this week two of Messrs. Tams, 
Lemoine & Crane's creations, designed for the Smith & 
Mabley Company, New York city. One is a 30ft. high 
speed launch tender, and the other is a pleasure speed 
launch 35ft. long. Both will be equipped with 30 horse- 
power Smith & Mabley "Simplex" 30 horsepower engines 
of f our cylinders, each by 5^ inches. 
The tender is of the usual oak keel and frame con- 
struction, with Y^m. Honduras mahogany planking of the 
riband carvel type. Inside finish, deck, grating, etc., are 
also of the same material. Deck has considerable crown, 
but not as much as the usual turtle-back. Chairs and ah 
upholstered after seat are shown, but if desired slatted 
folding seats can be had in addition. Stem is slightly re- 
treating, and stern square with the usual balanced outside 
rudder. 
A collapsable canopy top canvas hood with sliding glass 
front is provided to protect the after cockpit in rough 
water or wet weather. Directly aft of the steering and 
operating cockpit is a canvas-covered hatch effectively 
protecting the engine from water. Eyebolts for hoisting 
on davits are provided, of course. Total weight, including 
two men and 50 gallons of gasolene, will be under 3,000 
pounds. Passenger capacity is from 6 to 12, with a guar- 
anteed speed of 15 miles per hour, and fuel capacity suffi- 
cient for 12 to 15 hours' running at full speed. 
The dimensions are as follows :

The semi-speed launch is better adapted for running in 
Long Island Sound or similar stretches of water, and is 
a much more commodious and comfortable craft. The 
motor and boat can be handled from either cockpit, and 
the launch is guaranteed a speed of at least 14 miles at 
850 revolutions per minute maximum, or 6 miles mini- 
mum at 300 revolutions per minute. The exhaust is as 
thoroughly muffled as in a high-class automobile, and is 
above the waterline. An innovation is the adoption of a 
small metallic clutch instead of the more common leather- 
faced cone. Reversing is by means of planetary gearing 
with thrusts both forward and aft the gear caging. The 
hull of this boat is of cedar, while the interior is of Span- 
ish cedar throughout. Fittings are all well appointed, 
and upholstering to order. Passenger capacity is from 
10 to 15 comfortably. The dimensions are as follows :
