Albany Motor Boat Race. 
Fifteen motor boats of the cruiser class 
started in the New York Motor Boat Club's race 
to Albany and return on June 29 , but mishap 
turned back half the number. Respite, owned 
by V. C. Pederson, won. She finished at 4 : 41:30 
Sunday afternoon, defeating Thistle, owned by 
J. Id. Wallace, by 2 h. 57 m. 13 s., with handicap 
allowance of 6 h. 3 m. 18 s.

for the course of 235 miles on actual time by

was 27 IL 56 m. Thistle's total elapsed time was 
27 IL 35 m. 25 s. Oeyesee was second, her total 
elapsed time being 3 oh. 41 m. 30 s.

boat class. She covered the course in 29 I 1 . 22 m.

An All-Around Open Launch. 
BY E. T. KEYSER. 
“And I’ll put a cabin on it for $60 extra,” 
said the builder. “That’s just exactly what you 
will not do,” said the skipper. “There is such 
a thing as getting too much for one’s money 
and getting it on too short an over-all length. 
When I want to do a hurdle race, I’ll take my 
hurdles in the open and not in the form of ex¬ 
tension transoms on a 6 -foot 4 -inch boat.” 
So the Sandpiper remained an open craft, 
in spite of an obliging builder’s desire to add 
more top hamper to both the bill and the boat 
simultaneously. 
The Sandpiper is 26 feet 6 inches long. 6 
feet 4 inches beam and of the whale boat type. 
The cockpit is 18 feet long, because, as the 
skipper observed, he wanted room to move 
around in and a place to put afternoon guests 
where they wouldn't get mixed up with the 
machinery. 
The cockpit is divided into two sections by 
a thwarthship bulkhead, which materially 
strengthens the craft. 
Forward of the bulkhead is the engine, a 
two-cylinder two-cycle, 4 T Ax4j4 Monarch, so in¬ 
stalled that there are 6 feet 4 inches clearance 
between the forward face of the flywheel and 
the after face of the forward bulkhead. 
It took considerable persuasion to induce 
the builder to install the engine in just this 
position, but it was worth all the effort, as 
there is room to drop a couple of cushions on 
the floor, on which the skipper can sleep when 
night overtakes him on a lonely trip. 
The forward cockpit is 10 feet in length, 
with locker seats running along each side, and 
the boat cushions are so divided that they may 
be laid upon wooden strips reaching across from 
side to side, and fill in, as a bed, the entire 
width of the cockpit forward of the engine. 
The after cockpit is 8 feet in length with a 
wide lazy-back seat across its after end and 
with all the rest of the floor free for the ac¬ 
commodation of chairs. 
Instead of the raised deck cabin which the 
builder wished to inflict on the hull, there is a 
io-ounce khaki spray hood, built by the Pneu¬ 
matic Mfg. Co., which covers the entire for¬ 
ward cockpit and gives 5 feet 7 inches head- 
room—something that couldn't be had in a cabin 
on so small a boat without making her unduly 
top-heavy. 
On the aft end of the spray hood are cur¬ 
tains with glove fasteners, so that when the 
hood is snugged down and the curtain snapped, 
there is a io-foot cabin on the boat. 
And in this cabin the engine is protected 
and the boat is as dry and comfortable as a 
cabin craft in rough and wet weather. 
On hot days, the sides and front and back 
of the spray hood are brailed up, making a snug 
awning, while, if desired, the whole spray hood 
may be shoved forward and dropped .on the 
forward deck, leaving everything open. 
An apron of io-ounce waterproof khaki runs 
from the aft end of the spray hood to the aft 
deck of the boat and snaps to the side comb¬ 
ings, keeping the boat absolutely dry.
