block or sheave on the topmast to a point at the same distance 
above the fair line of solid bulwarks at the foremast, as the 
lower point of measurement of P is at the mainmast.

J. — The base J to be measured from the fore side of mast to 
where the line of the luff of the foremost headsail when extended 
cuts the bovi'sprit, other spar, hull, etc., as the case may be. 
In yachts of 27ft. rating and over, if the distance from the 
center fore-and-aft line of the mast to the outer end of the spin- 
naker boom, when in position, exceeds the distance from the 
foreside of tlie mast to the bowsprit end (where cut by the line 
of the luff of the foremost headsail), the excess shall be added to 
the base of the fore triangle. In the case of a schooner, the 
base J shall be measured from the foremast, but if the main or 
longest spinnaker boom exceeds the before-mentioned dis- 
tance, the excess shall be added to the base J. 
In yachts under 27ft. rating, the spinnaker boom may be 40 
per cent, of the length of the base line, measured from the fore- 
most point of measurement on the bowsprit, other spar, or hull, 
as the case may be, in a straight line to the extreme after point 
of rneasurement. Any excess of the spinnaker boom over such 
40 per cent, shall be added to the base J.

TOTAL AREA. 
In sloops and cutters the total sail area for purposes of meas-

headsails, as calculated by the above method; in yawls, the sum 
of the areas of mainsail and topsail, mizzen and topsails and 
headsails; in schooners, the sum of the areas of mainsail and top- 
sail, foresail and topsail and headsails; in three-masted schooners, 
the sum of the areas of the mizzen, mainsail, foresail and top- 
sails and headsails. 
A spinnaker .inay have a headstick, or board, not longer than 
one-twentieth the .length of the spinnaker boom,, but not a foot- 
yard, or more than one sheet, or any other Contrivance for ex- 
tending the sail to other than a triangular shape. 
In case a yacht shall, carry a square sail, or square topsail, or 
rafee (together or separately) instead of a spinnaker, the actual 
area of the same shall be computed; and if such. area exceed the 
area o.f the . fore triangle, the . excess shall be used in the total 
area for determining the rating. . . 
In case the area of a club topsail, carried by any yacht, shall 
exceed 160 per cent, of the area of the working topsail . or jib- 
header, . such excess shall be used in computing the total area 
for determining the rating. 
Further amend Rule 1, pages 233 and 234, by strikiuf^ out all

also paragraph (page 234) entitled "Limit of Sail .\i^a.." and 
substituting therefor the following:

Qne-half of. -any excess.. of L.W.L, over 11.5 per cent,, of I,, shall 
be added to the rating me.asorement, .-

the points furthest forward and f urthest . af t, where the hull, ex- 
clusive of the rudder post, is intersected by the surface 01 the 
water when the yacht is afloat in racing trim. " 
, The limit of draft of yachts shall be in feet; 0.15 times the 
L plus 2.50, and any excess of draft, exclusive of centerboard, 
as per above formula, shall be multiplied by 3 and added to the 
rating measurement; this penalty, however, shall not apply to 
yachts launched prior' to Jan. 1, 1905. 
Any excess of the square root of sail area over 135 per cent, of 
L shall be added to the rating measurement; this limit, however, 
shall not apply to yachts launched prior to Jan. 1, 1905. 
Also further amend Rule I., page 234, by adding to paragraph 
I., headed "Certificates of Measurement," line 5, after the words 
"the measurer shall personally," the words "measure the spars 
and," so that when amended the paragraph will read: 
"The measurer may accept drawings, dimensions and calcula- 
tions of any or all specified measurements when, certified to by 
the designer; but previous to the filing of a certificate of meas- 
urement with the secretary, the measurer shall personally measure 
the spars and verify the line of flotation, and all dimensions and 
calculations depending thereon."

New Glass Q Boats* 
The greatest amount of activity is being evidenced in 
the new boats for class Q of the Gravesend Bay Yacht 
Racing Association. The men belonging to the clubs m 
this section are now the most active in the East, and the 
best racing next season will be had on the waters of 
Gravesend Bay and vicinity. 
Class Q boats are not the only ones receiving attention, 
but the interest in this class is perhaps keener than in the 
others, principally because the boats are of a popular size 
and aflord fair accommodation and excellent racing at a 
moderate figure. 
Ogeemah, the admirable little boat built in 1903 from 
designs by that clever amateur, Mr. John R. Brophy, has 
done much toward the upbuilding of class Q. When Mr. 
Brophy turned out Ogeemah he endeavored to produce as 
healthy and substantial a boat as was possible under the 
new rule. Speed was not the sole factor that entered into 
the design, but no one was more surprised than the de- 
signer himself when this heavy displacement boat turned 
out to be a remarkably smart all-around performer. 
Class Q calls for a boat Over i8ft. and not ever 22ft. 
racing measurement. Under the rule it is possible to turn 
out a roomy and serviceable boat for this class which 
assures its popularity. The Gravesend Bay clubs were the 
only organizations to give the rule a trying out in the 
small classes last season, i. e., boats under 40ft. racing 
measurement. The success of the boats produced showed 
that the rule was applicable to small craft, and that one- 
design classes were not necessary to secure good boats 
of small size. 
Orders for five boats have already been placed. Mr. 
Henry J. Gielow has been commissioned to design two, 
and Messrs. Tams, Lemoine & Crane, Mr. John R. 
Brophy, and Mr. Charles D. Mower one each. 
One of the boats of Gielow design is for Mr. F. J. 
Havens, and the other is for Mr. George H. Church. 
Mr. Havens' boat is being built at Willaid F. Downs' 
yard. Bay Shore, L. I. She is 33ft. over all, 25 ft. 3in. 
waterline, 7ft. 6in. breadth, 5ft. 6in. draft, and will carry 
575 sq. ft. of sail in the mainsail and jib. There will be 
4ft. 3ih. head room under the cabin house. The con- 
struction has been looked to carefully. The keel, stem, 
and deadwood will be of white oak, the fraines of white 
oak steamed and bent, the clamps, shelf and bilge stringers 
of yellow pine, and the deck of white pine. The planking 
will be double, the inner skin being of cedar and the outer 
of mahogany.- 
The Milton Point Shipyard, of Rye, N. Y., has the con- 
tract for Mr. Church's boat. She is longer over all, shorter 
on the waterline, and has one inch less breadth than the 
Havens boat. The draft is the same. She is 34ft. gin. 
over all, 24ft. waterline, 7ft. 7in. breadth, and 5ft. 6iru 
draft. The sail carried is 580 sq. ft. The construction is 
almost identical with that of the Havens boat. In the 
Church boat there are air tanks forward and aft of suffi- 
cient capacity to keep the boat afloat in case of collision 
or other acident. _ ' 
The boat from the board of Messrs. Tams. Lemoine & 
Crane is for Mr. Hendon Chubb, owner of Bagheera. 
Particulars of this boat are not as yet available. ] 
The new Brophy boat is for Mr. George Reiners, of the 
Brooklyn Y. C, and she is building at the yard of the 
Huntington Mfg. Co., at New Rochelle. Her dimensions 
are as follows: 33ft. 3in. over all, 22ft. waterline, 8ft. Sin. 
breadth extreme, 8ft. breadth at waterline, 5ft. 2in. draft, 
and will carry 670 sq. ft. of sail. The head room in the 
cabin is 4ft. 6in. On the keel there will be 3,200 pounds 
of lead. The planking is single, the garboards being oak 
and the balance of Georgia pine. The stem, keel, frames, 
stern timbers and floors are of white oak. The bilge 
stringers, clamps and shelves are of Georgia pine. 
Mr. Charles D. Mower is now .working on the design 
of a boat for Mr. W. H. Childs, owner of Umbrina and 
Trouble, one of the earlier class Q boats. Mr. Childs' 
new boat will also be built by the Huntington Mfg. Co., 
and will be known as More Trouble. 
This little facetiousness on Mr. Childs' part recalls the 
way in which the well known English yachtsman. Captain 
J. Orr Ewing, named his two small racing boats built 
from designs by Mr. William Fife, Jr. The first of the 
two was named Piccolo (a little fife), and the second 
Andrum (fife and drum).
