OUTBOARD PROFILE AND CABIN PLAN OF STEAM YACHT REVOLUTION-MR. F. A UGUSTUS HEINTZ, LARCHMONT Y. C. 
Designed and built by Gas Engine & Power Co. & Charles Seabury & Co. Cons. 
in the machinery plant, except an interest in 
doing all in their power to show their vessel in 
the best light. The trials of Revolution were 
many and thorough, and a number of sets of 
boilers of different makes were tried in turn, 
but all showed an abnormal coal consumption, 
required to supply the turbine with a sufficient 
amount of steam. 
A year ago the yacht, after having been laid 
up for some time, was purchased by Mr. F. 
Augustus Heintz, Larchmont Y. C., and during 
the past season was for some time in commis¬ 
sion under his flag, but the turbines were not 
found satisfactory and a change of machinery 
was decided upon. 
Recently Revolution has been taken to the 
yard of her builders, who have been awarded 
the contract of removing the turbine engines 
and the present boilers and replacing them with 
a new reciprocating plant. The new engine will 
be a duplicate of the design of those in that 
most successful and fast yacht Kanawha, 
designed and built by the Gas Engine & Power 
Co., and C. L. Seabury & Co., Cons., which, 
under the ownership of Mr. H. H. Rogers, won 
the Lysistrata cup over an ocean course against 
Noma and Haouli, in 1904. The engine will 
develop about 1,500 horsepower, and steam will 
be supplied by two patent Seabury water-tube 
boilers of latest design. There will also be a 
complete equipment of pumps, condensers and 
blowers. 
Through the courtesy of the Seabury Com¬ 
pany we are able to publish an outboard profile 
of Revolution and the cabin plan, showing the 
new arrangement of the engine space. The ac¬ 
commodations themselves are not to be altered, 
but before going in commission the yacht will 
be refinished and redecorated below. As the 
plans show, she is a well turned vessel, beautifully 
proportioned, and is one of the finest produc¬ 
tions of the yard. The lines—which we regret 
not to publish—are similar to those of other 
fast boats turned out in recent years. Indeed 
with the new reciprocating engine plant, the 
yacht will be one of the fastest of her type A 
guarantee has been made of 18 knots. The 
dimensions of the yacht are as follows:

The yacht will be ready for delivery about

Neola Sold. 
It was but recently reported that the bronze 
sloop, Wetamoe, had passed from the hands of 
Mr. Lippit and had been acquired by Prof. Chas. 
Lane Poor, New York Y. C., who brought the 
yacht with the intention of racing. 
Neola, a sister boat to Wetamoe, has been 
sold through the agency of Messrs. Cox & 
Stevens to Mr. James A. Blair, Jr., of Oyster 
Bay. The yacht, which is wintering at Green- 
port, will, at the opening of the yachting sea¬ 
son, be thoroughly overhauled, given new sails 
and put in the pink of condition for racing. It 
is probable that some alterations will be carried 
out to the hull, with a view to increasing her 
sneed. At any rate, the prompt acquisition of 
these two vessels shows how well they are re¬ 
garded, and under new owners, the duels next 
summer promise to be most interesting.

YACHTING NEWS NOTES. 
Mr. William Gardner has recently completed 
the design for a large power yacht for use upon 
Long Island Sound. The yacht which will be 
named Yaqui is being built at the yard of Messrs. 
Purdy & Collison, City Island, to the order of Mr. 
Louis M. Josephthal, formerly assistant paymas¬ 
ter in the U. S. Navy, and now paymaster of 
the Naval Militia. The yacht’s dimensions will 
be: Length, over all, 91ft. 6in.; breadth, 12ft. 
6in., and the machinery equipment will be made 
up of two 125 horsepower Craig motors driving 
twin screws. The speed of the yacht will be, it 
is expected, about twenty miles an hour. The 
service of the Yaqui will be between Hempstead 
Harbor and the city. The yacht will be flush 
decked with two raised trunks. Under the for¬ 
ward house will be located the crew’s quarters, 
galley and engine room, the tanks being located 
aft of the engines in a water tight compartment. 
The after trunk will house the owner’s quarters, 
which consist of a large owner’s room at the 
after end with two wing staterooms. Next for¬ 
ward will be the main saloon 9ft. long and the 
width of the ship, forward of the saloon, will be 
a lobby and toilet room on one side, with the 
companionway to the deck, and on the other a 
pantry. Yaqui will be very carefully built. The 
specifications call for double planking, cedar and 
yellow pine, the frame to be of oak, and the 
deck fittings of mahogany. Below the joiner 
work will be plain; the owner’s quarters will be 
finished in mahogany and white pine, white 
enameled. 
« * at 
Vice- Commodore Frederick M. Hoyt, Larch¬ 
mont Y. C., and owner of the well known Fife 
designed cutter Isolde, has purchased from Mr. 
Richard Mansfield the schooner yacht Amorita. 
Amorita was designed by Mr. A. Cary Smith 
in 1905 and built of steel at Wilmington, Del., 
for Mr. W. Gould Brokaw, who raced her most 
successfully. Her dimensions are, length oyer 
all, 99ft. 6in.; waterline, 70ft.; breadth, 15ft. 7in., 
and draft, 12ft. Amorita entered for the King’s 
cup last summer and was the only Vessel not en¬ 
rolled in the New York Y. C. to compete.
