An Auxiliary Cruising Yawl. 
The most popular of the moderate sized cruisers to-day 
are the auxiliary sloops and yawls of about 35ft- water- 
line. We present this week the plans of a cruising yawl 
37ft. waterline. She was designed by Mr. Morgan Barney 
■and will be built in one of the big yards near New York 
this winter. _ - . . . , 
The boat has a very fairly sharp section, is of moderate 
draft and has a small sail plan. It is the intention of the 
owner, who will use the boat for cruising Long Island 
and the Maine coast, to carry but two paid hands. While 
the boat was not designed for racing, should her owner 
care to participate in any matches or squadron runs, she 
Would measure in the 33ft. class. 
The cockpit is loft. long and the cabin house is 20ft. 
din long. On the port side of the cabin house is a corn- 
panionway which gives access t0‘ the compartment in 
which is located the boat’s power equipment, which con- 
sists of a 12 horsepower gasolene motor. The gasolene 
tanks are under the cockpit. A water-tight bulkhead 
separates the space given over to the engine, etc., from 
the living quarters of the boat. 
On the starboard side of the cockpit is another com- 
panionway which leads to the main cabin 9ft. long. On 
either side are wide berths, and in front are transoms. 
On the port side is a sideboard with a locker above. Op- 
posite, on the port side, is a toilet room 2ft. din. wide 
with patent closet and folding wash basin. 
The owner’s room on the starboard side is 7ft. lorig. 
Beside the berth there is a bureau and a folding basin. 
On the port side is another smaller sleeping cabin which 
must also be used as a passageway for anyone passing 
from the main saloon to the galley. The galley is 4ft. 
long and extends the width of the boat. The forecastle 
has accommodations for two men. 
In the cabins the interior finish is butternut with 
mahogany trim. The underside of the cabin top is of 
white enamel. 
The boat is planked with yellow pine i^in. thick and 
the frames, keel, stem, etc., are of oak. Every third frame 
is sawed and doubled, and intermediate frames are steam 
bent. The cabin house, plank sheer.

Yawl Daisy Sold.— Congressman Joseph C. Sibley, of 
Pennsylvania, has purchased the auxiliary yawl Daisy 
from Mr. Robert Galloway, of Memphis, Tenn., through 
the agency of Mr. Stanley M. Seaman. Daisy was de- 
signed by Mr. Henry J. Gielow. She is a shoal draft 
centerboard boat and was built at Tom’s River, N. J., in 
1904. She is Soft, over all, 65ft. waterline, 18ft. breadth 
and 3ft. draft. Her power consists of a 40 horsepower 
Craig engine.

American-German Series. — The Eastern Y. C. has re- 
ceived a cable dispatch from the Kaiserlicher Y. C.,. of 
Kiel, stating that the German Emperor has formally ap- 
proved the plan to establish an international trophy for 
small yachts, to be competed for by boats representing 
Germany and the United States. Information^ is also 
given that a letter from the Kaiserlicher Y. C. is on its 
way to this country, relating, it is believed, to a challenge 
for the first series of races for the trophy, which, ac- 
cording to preyious arrangement, must be sailed off 
Murblehead. This measure is the result of a proposal 
made' to the Kaiserlicher Y. C. in September by Mr. 
Heiiry • Howard, chairman of the Regatta Committee of 
the Eastern Y. C. 
Under the conditions proposed at that time the races 
shall be sailed under the classification, of the challenging 
club, and it is also provided that the competing yachts 
shall be designed and built in every particular in the Re- 
spective countries which they represent. It is believed 
that, if a challenge is received from Germany the yacht 
specified will be one of the class in which Uncle Sam, 
designed by Mr. B. B. Crowninshield, was so succeslful 
in German waters. The rules for this class provide fe^ a 
boat quite similar to our raceabouts. At_ the time ofilhe 
'discussion in Germany there was considerable talk’Rof 
having the competition between boats of about 30ft. 
.i^waterline, but intimation has since been received of the 
change of intentions as noted in the foregoing. 
In order that races may be sailed in September of 1906 
it is necessary under the agreement that a challenge must 
be received by Dec. i of the present^ year. It is not 
actually known that a challenge is contained in the mailed 
message from the German yachtsmen, but the members of 
the Eastern Y. C. evidently have some reason to^ believe 
that the challenge is on the way, for a committee_ con- 
sisting of Messrs. Charles Francis Adams 2d, Louis M. 
Clark and Henry Howard has been appointed by the club 
to arrange details of the match. In the event of a chal- 
lenge being received this committee will have charge of 
buflding tiie defending yacht and of sailing her. The 
series will consist of the best three out of five races. _ 
No trophy has yet been offered for such races, but it is 
understood that the Emperor William has intimated his 
willingness to offer one. 
Corinthian Y. C. — A meeting of the Corinthian Y. C., 
of Marblehead, was held at the Boston Athletic Associa- 
tion on Thursday evening, Nov. 26, at which the follow- 
ing committee was appointed to nominate officers for 
1906: William S. Warren, Frank E. Clark, Henry A. 
Hildreth, Frits E. Talbot and Arthur Binney. A com- 
mittee consisting of Herbert S. Goodwin and Vice-Com- 
modore Henry A. Morss, was also appointed to revise the 
cIiiF routine and signal code. Commodore John O. Shaw 
retires froiu office this year and it is understood that 
Vic,e- Commodore H. A. Morss will be senior flag officer. 
Atlantic Coast Conference. — Movements like the re- 
cent conference in New York to establish uniform racing 
rules for Atlantic coast yacht clubs is one that finds 
favor in almost every quarter throughout Massachusetts 
Bay.’ The fact that about every recognized yacht club in 
_this,, section was represented is considered l%ely to go a 
long way toward general satisfaction with : the results. 
Special representatives were sent by the Boston, Eastern 
Y. G.’s and twenty-six other yacht clubs in Massachusetts 
Bay were represented by delegates of the Yacht Racing 
Association of Massachusetts.
