YACHTING NOTES. 
New Cl ass R. Sloop, Psammiad II. 
The fact that Psammiad II., designed by 
Wm. Gardner, showed the speed predicted for 
her in the opening race of the season, promises- 
to chart the Cleveland Y. C. in an international 
way before the season is closed. Because the 
new Prentice-Winton craft will meet the Cana¬ 
dian champion Nirwana as well as the new 
Watertown George cup challenger Neahga be¬ 
fore the year is out. 
Nirwana up to this season was undoubtedly 
the fastest Class D boat in the world. It re¬ 
mains to be seen whether Neahga or Psammiad 
II., designed and built to beat her, can turn the 
trick. Nirwana, in her cup races, has always 
been sailed by Canada’s crack skipper, Norman 
R. Gooderham, who won the Richardson cup 
with his Class P boat Patricia at Chicago last 
August. 
Psammiad II. was built by Commodore 
Winton and Mr. Prentice for the express pur¬ 
pose of representing the Cleveland Y. C. in the 
big Perry Centennial regatta at Put-in-Bay. 
Both “Nat” Herreshoff and Wm. Gardner were 
considered when it was decided a new boat 
would be built, and the latter was chosen be¬ 
cause the New York critics consider that Gard¬ 
ner is HerreshofFs master in the smaller uni¬ 
versal classes. He had never before designed 
a Class R boat, but has been uniformly success¬ 
ful in Classes P and Q in the racing on Long 
Island Sound. Psammiad II., therefore, is an 
experiment as her design differs considerably 
from the salt water boats, her model being made 
to meet the peculiar conditions of choppy seas 
and fluky weather that usually prevails at Put¬ 
in-Bay in July. 
Mr. Gardner departed from the practice of 
the designs of the Lake Ontario boats, all of 
which have been produced by George Owen on 
the Canadian side, and C. D. Moyer on the 
American side. He took a longer water line 
and a very much heavier displacement than any 
of the existing boats without materially increas¬ 
ing the sail area, and his success will depend 
upon the fineness of model and the ease with 
which she can be driven in spite of the extra 
weight which she carries in her keel. 
Compared with Lakewood, Psammiad II.'s 
designed displacement is 132 cubic feet, or ap¬ 
proximately 8,250 pounds, while Lakewood is 116 
cubic feet, or 7,250 pounds. The Gardner boat 
also has greater beam than Lakewood, and car¬ 
ries only about 10 square feet more sail area. 
From these figures it would appear that Psam¬ 
miad II. is seriously handicapped, but so far 
has proven to be fully as fast as the Cox & 
Stevens sloop. In any event the result of the 
season’s racing will furnish some splendid data 
on the development of the Universal rule and 
what proportions of length, beam and sail area 
are best adapted to Lake Erie conditions. 
The new boat measures approximately 36 
feet over all, 7 foot 9 inches beam, 5 feet 4 
inches draft and carries 600 feet of sail. Both 
Nirwana and Neahga are lighter boats, having 
displacements which approximate 125 cubic feet 
or 7,800 pounds, and have close to 625 feet sail 
area. Nirwana is a fine ended model with high, 
narrow mainsail, and up to date has been un¬ 
beatable in light to moderate weather. In
