AuTOBOAT FOR Mr. Lewis R. Speare. — There is being 
built at the yard of Stearns & Mackay, Marblehead, an 
automobile boat, which may prove to be one of the great 
speed makers of thfe season. This boat, which has been 
mentioned before, is for Mr. Lewis R. Speare, of Newton. 
Mass., a very enthusiastic automobilist. She is 40ft. 
long and about 4ft. beam and of very light draft. She 
will be driven by a Winton 12 cylinder 150 horsepower 
motor. Marine engines of such power are something nev/ 
with the Winton people, but they are confident that this 
one will turn out well. What speed is expected has not 
been vouchsafed, but it is known that both the owner 
and the btiilders are quite confident that it will be some- 
thing big, in spite of their conservatism. The boat is in 
the finishing stages now, and as soon as she is completed 
she will be shipped to Cleveland, where her motor will be 
installed. She will then bo tried out on fresh water, after 
which she will be sent to Marblehead, where Mr. Speare 
will use her, John B. Killeen. 
Inter-Atlantic Regatta at Hampton Roads.— The 
Hampton Roads Y. C, in conjunction with the Brooklyn 
Y. C, will hold a regatta on July 4 open to yachts of all 
clubs. The course will be laid off the club house of the 
Hampton Roads Y. C, on Willoughby Spit, opposite 
Fortress Monroe, Va. There will be five classes for sail- 
ing .yachts and one for power boats,

Forest and Stream'' Designing 
Competition No. IV. 
For a 60-Foot Wdtcrline Cruising Latinch. 
SECOND PRIZE DESIGN, AND WINNER OF CABIN PLAN PRIZE. 
The following description is an outline of the principal 
features einbodied in a vessel designed to conform to the 
rules laid down in the Forest and Stream competition. 
To obtain a seaworthy type, ample freeboard, sheer and 
displaceiTient were naturally of prime importance; as for 
speed, it has been considered of minor importance. The 
whaleboat type of stem and stern have been retained, and 
to prevent the boat from being too lively, the gasolene is 
kept well toward the ends, which also means that the 
position of the gasolene is as remote as possible. With 
the large displacement, easy form to drive (for the speed 
chosen), that boat should k^ep its speed fairly well in 
rough water ; the ample skeg insuring good steering and 
docking qualities and protection for the screws. 
The arrangement of houses and cockpit as per plans 
was adopted for the following reasons: In the first place, 
a good location for helmsman was necessary ; therefore 
the houses were divided, as in this manner the hehnsman 
can be kept much lower than if the usual bridge was 
used ; and again, the man, if placed so high, makes a 
small boat rather unsightly. The distance of wheel from 
bow permits of a good range being obtained, and natu- 
rally a course can be held better. 
The space between the houses was made great enough 
to accommodate a large observation seat, from which 
vantage point a good view over the helmsman's head is 
obtained. 
Recognizing that there are times when guests and 
owner prefer to be out of earshot of crew, the after cock- 
pit was provided, a more sheltered position than the ob- 
servation seat on a windy day. An awning is carried 
from well forward, right back over house and cockpit ; 
this also insures a cooler house than if the sunbeams 
were allowed to fall upon it. The forward house con- 
tains crew's quarters, galley and engine room, while the 
after house is given up entirely to owner and guests. 
The plan of the after house is somewhat out of the or- 
dinary, in the fact that it is not symmetrical in plan, a 
portion on the starboard side being removed, forming a 
deck level passage from cockpit to the coinpanionway that 
enters owner's quarters. The idea of this is to minimize 
the length of passage fore and aft, below, thereby allow- 
ing more space for accommodation. 
Entering this coinpanionway and descending a wind- 
ing stairway, we arrive in the vestibule, which has con- 
venient lockers for oilers, guns and steward's supplies. 
Three doors open from the vestibule, those to owner[s 
stateroom, the toilet and main saloon. The vestibule is 
floored with linoleum of good quality, and is expected to 
be a convenient place for the removal of wet coats, etc. 
Entering' the owner's stateroom, we find the same to 
extend the entire width of vessel, to contain a double 
bed on the starboard side, a portion of bed being under 
the deck at side of house, but not stinted as regards head 
room. On the port side there is a good size transotri or 
sofa, that could be used for sleeping purposes on a pinch, 
wardrobe, locker and folding lavatory; a large bureau 
and mirror are located at the after end. Skylight and 
large windows in sides of trunk insure good light and 
ventilation. 
Proceeding to the toilet next, which contains the usual 
w. c. and basin; gravity feed, and in addition the toilet- 
was made long enough to permit one end being slightly 
sunk (for drainage), and a rose spray and rubber tube 
fitted together with a rubber curtain as shower, thus mak- 
ing a practical shower. The head room was not sufli- 
cient for the usual overhead shower, nor was it thought 
advisable to fit a tube, the latter taking up so much room, 
beside the expense. Medicine and linen locker located as 
shown ; a portion of the vestibule skylight helps to venti- 
late this room. 
The next room is the main saloon, in which are placed 
two wide sofas, to be used for sleeping purposes, one of 
which is carried partly across at forward end, forming a 
sort of cosy corner. In this angle a swing table is 
placed; at the after end buffet or sideboard and wine 
locker are located, good stowage being obtained inside of 
sofas and at sides of boat; in fact, stowage room has 
been made a feature of the design. - _ 
skylight oV^T s^aibOT!; ant! wlistiyws on three sfdes, 
The finish of saloon would T>e in white with appropriate 
and inexpensive hangings arid brass cabin lamps. 
The toilet room would also be finished in white, while 
cabin, vestibule and stairs would be^finished in varnish. 
From the saloon, going forward, just under the break 
of houses, the head room has been reduced slightly 
for a distance of about 414ft. ; this is part of the passage 
that gives complete communication fore and aft as per 
requirements. 
Proceeding to galley, this room contains a range, large 
ice-box, dresser, shelves, and a reserve ice-box under the 
floor. A skylight as shown and ports should keep this 
place cool and sweet. 
It will be noted that forward house is fitted with ports 
instead of windows; this was done as the windows might 
easily be smashed by a head sea in offshore cruising. 
Forward of galley the forecastle is located, containing 
transoms port and starboard and pipe berths for four 
m.en. If preferred, one of the berths could easily be in- 
stalled in engine room. At after end of forecastle the 
forward end of house is utilized to give light and ventila- 
tion through ports and extra large head room so as to 
make the cubic air space as great as possible. The open- 
ing of the forward companionway would induce a natural 
circulation of air. The toilet at aft end is entirely 
separated from forecastle. There is ample hanging space 
and dunnage space in transoms ; at forward end there 
are shelves fitted for lamps, stores, etc. 
Engine room — The twin-screw type was adopted to in- 
sure reliability and immunity from being totally disabled. 
Small powers were used to keep cost as low as possi- 
ble. The motors used are four cylinder four-stroke Buf- 
falo or equal make, the rated power of each being 25 
B.H.P., which is actually not less than 10 B.H.P. 
less than actual output, which is about the power 
that would be expected from the cylinder volume 
and piston speed. Two small pumps are to be 
fitted, one a centrifugal for pumping the bilges, and the 
other a gear or rotary pump for forcing water from 
main tank to gravity tank. For ignition, a magneto or 
dynamo is to be used with batteries for starting. 
The gasolene tanks forward and aft are separated from 
balance of boat by water-tight bulkheads ; holes are bored 
through skin of vessel, and the entering" water is ex- 
pected to carry off the gasolene in case of tank leakage; 
all gasolene pipes are led outside of hull to engine space. 
See specifications. 
In order to keep the price to the predetermined figure, 
the boat is to be built as cheaply as is consistent with 
good work and material ; scarcely any effort has been 
made to cut weights, which usually means more labor and 
therefore greater cost. The approximate costs are dis- 
tributed as follows : 
Hull, complete, including rudder, awning, struts, 
tanks, etc $S,200

logued discount (including propellers) 2,600

These motors would probably brake 70 horsepower 
total,, which would give speed of about 12^ miles. How- 
ever, this speed and horsepower is not claimed for design.
