1 P6REST AND STR£aM. 
' . ' ' 
[Oct. I4, 190^. 
Power Tender for Eastern Y., C. 
We publish herewith the plans of a very serviceable 
and trim looking- little launch designed and built by 
Messrs. Stearns & McKay, of the Marblehead Yacht 
Yard, for the Eastern Y. C. at Marblehead. ■ 
The launch is intended primarily for the. use of the 
Regatta Committee and to be hoisted on the davits of 
the committee steamer during cruises, etc. High speed 
was by no means the purpose for which the boat was 
intended, but she has shown a good gait considering the 
easy model, strength of hull and weight of engine. She 
is planked with %~in. cedar finished bright, with ma- 
hogany deck. 
The dimensions are as follows : 
Length — 
Over all 22ft. 
L.W.L 2ift. sin. 
Overhang —
