HIGH SPEED CRUISING LAUNCH OUTBOARD PROFILE AND CABIN PLAN— DESIGNED BY SWASEY, RAYMOND & PAGE. 1906. 
High Speed Cruising Launch. 
We depict in, our columns this week the plans of a 
103ft. cruising launch designed by Messrs. Swasey, Ray- 
mond & Page. The boat will be built this winter but the 
name of the owner is withheld for the present. 
The plans show a thoroughly modern cruising yacht 
intended for long distance coast line work. The owner 
specified a cruising radius of 1,200 miles at a speed of 18 
miles an hour. To make this rather unusual require- 
ment possible a space of 6ft.' in length has been bulk- 
headed off almost amidships, and in these compartments 
are gasolene tanks of 4,000 gallons capacity. These tanks 
are_ installed on water-tight steel floors with scuppers 
draining outboard. 
The arrangement plan provides for the owner’s and 
guests’ quarters forward. The pantry and galley amid- 
ships and quarters for the crew aft. 
The boat is designed tO' accommodate eight guests be- 
sides the crew. Ample room has been set aside for 
machinery, which, together with the crew’s quarters, is 
entirely isolated. A low pilot house is shown, which is 
provided with an auxiliary steering wheel, this being 
quite a necessary feature on a boat designed for long 
distance cruising. A spacious bridge is provided where 
nautical instruments are arranged and protected from 
bad weather. 
Much care has been taken in the design of the heating 
and ventilating features, as the boat will be used for 
cruising purposes both north and south. There is a large 
galley in which there is built an ice-chest capable ol 
holding a ton of ice and a large size steamer’s cooking 
range designed, to burn either coal or wood. 
The ventilation of the galley is through the stack, 
which in turn keeps the engine room, sweet and cool. 
There is 7ft. head room nearly all through the boat. 
The motive power consists of two 200 horsepower 
gasolene motors. Two boats are carried on the davits, 
a launch and a dinghy. 
The dimensions are as follows :

A. M. P. B. Associarion Meeting.— A general meet- 
ing of the American Power Boat Association was held at 
the Arena, West Thirty-first street, on Dec. 15. The 
following delegates were present: J. Howard Wain- 
wright, American Y. C., the president; H. J. Gielow, 
Atlantic Y. C. ; Ernest W. Graef, Brooklyn Y. C. ; J. H. 
McIntosh and W. H. Ketcham, Columbia Y. C. ; S. J. 
Averill, Chippewa Y. C. ; Anson B. Cole, Manhasset Bay 
Y. C., the secretary; George P. Granberry, New Rochelle 
Y. C. ; Charles P. Tower, Riverside Y. C. ; H. j. Mitchell, 
Riverton Y. C. ; Dr. E. B. Sherwood, Shattemuc Y. and 
C. C. ; T. V. Roe, Sr., and W. A. Gill, Tarrytown Y. C. ; 
C. E. Van Auken, Y'onkers Corinthian Y. C., and Thos. 
Fearon, Yonkers Y. C. The object of the meeting was 
to hear the reports of the committees appointed to in- 
quire into- the following subjects: 
_ Amending the deed of trust governing the Associa- 
tion’s challenge cup by raising the minimum rating, etc., 
and changing the present formula for, the calculation of 
horsepower, sO' as to avoid revolutions. 
The following changes were recommended by Mr. J. 
H. McIntosh, chairman of the committee, on the pro- 
posed change in the deed of gift: 
“Amend article 2, in the declaration of trust, to read 
as follows : Matches for the cup shall be limited to boats 
propelled by power only, which, according to the rules, 
are in, the automobile racing class and whose waterline 
shall not be less than 30ft.” 
This amendment was adopted, but the Chippewa Y. C.. 
of Chippewa .Bay, N. Y., the present holders of the 
trophy, must give their consent to the change before the 
next race for the cup can be held. 
Mr. Henry J. Gielow had been appointed to draw up 
an amendment to cover the matter of calculation of horse- 
power, and he recommended the following, which was 
adopted : 
“That in four-cycle automobile engines the area of the 
piston in square inches be multiplied' by the number of 
cylinders and divided by two ; that in the two-cycle 
automobile engines the area of piston multiplied by the 
number of cylinders be divided by 1.5 ; that in cruising 
engines the area of piston be multiplied by the cylinders 
in four-cycle engines, and divided by three, and in the 
two-cycle engines by 2.25.” 
This system does awmy with the counting of revolu- 
tions, and it assumes the piston speed at i,oooft. a minute 
for automobile engines and 666ft. for all others; and the', 
mean effective pressure at 66 pounds per square inch in 
four-cycle engines and 49.5 pounds for twoAycle engines.' 
It was decided that a cruise should be. made annually 
by the Association after hearing Mr. J. H. McIntosh’s.' 
report on that subject, and a committee will be appointed 
to arrange a cruise for the coming summer.

Ne\v Schooner for W. E. Iselin. — Mr. A. Cary Smith 
has prepared plans of a 103ft. schooner for Mr. 'William 
,E. Iselin, former owner of the schooner Emerald. Mr.

just suited, his requirements, and it is quite possible that 
he will build a new bbat.,

L. Seabury & Co., Cons., from designs by Mr. Henry J. 
Gielow'. She rvill be known as The Limited, and she will

A Floating Motor Villa. — According to La Figaro of 
Paris the Marquis de Dion’s floating villa will be 30ft. 
in breadth and looft., long, of very shallow draft, and 
driven by motor power at about 6 knots an hour. There 
will be a salon, a dining room, and several bedrooms. The 
Marquis hopes to^ have the villa, which is what would 'be 
called a houseboat in America, so low, above and below 
the waterline, that he can bring it up the Seine to Paris 
and depart in it when his day’s business, is over. Next 
summer he will “coast” the Mediterranean shores in the 
vicinity of Monte Carlo. The motor villa will also have 
a place on board, for an automobile, on which the. guests 
may make excursions into the surrounding country. —
