Schooner Yacht Savarona. 
Savarona is an excellent type of a modern 
cruising schooner, having good accommodations 
aft for owner and guests, with rather better room 
than usual for the officers and crew. the 
owner’s quarters consist of a large main saloon 
with the usual and necessary furniture, and with 
two wide berths, one on either side, which can 
be used if required. Forward of the main saloon 
are two staterooms, the one on the starboard side 
being the larger, and having toilet room con- 
nected with it. This room is fitted with a. wide 
berth and transom which can also be made up 
into a berth. The forward stateroom on the port 
side is smaller, although it, like all the other 
staterooms, is fitted with a large bureau, ample 
clothes lockers and wash basin. 
In the extreme after end is the owner’s room, 
extending the entire width of the boat, with the 
usual arrangement of a berth on either side, 
■ bureau in the center, and at the after end clothes 
lockers and drawers under berths. Connecting 
with the owner’s room is toilet. Between the 
owner’s room and the main saloon on the star- 
board side is located a large guest room fitted 
like the others with all necessary locker and 
drawer space. On the port side opposite, is a 
bath room, and a large chart locker and pigeon 
holes for code signals. There is a large oil skin 
locker aft of the chart locker. 
Owner’s quarters are finished in mahogany and 
white; the walls of the main saloon and state¬ 
rooms being covered with different colpred tapes¬ 
try and silk hangings. Between the main saloon 
and engine room on the port side is a passage 
way forming a butler’s pantry, wnere there are 
lockers fitted for china and glassware, and small 
ice chest and sink. 
The engine and mess room is a large room m 
the middle of the vessel, occupying about 17 feet 
■in length. On each side are good roomy state¬ 
rooms for sailing master, engineer and mate, two 
cooks and two stewards. Forward is a large 
galley, between which and the forecastle there 
is a water tight steel bulkhead. The forecastle 
is large and airy, and is fitted with hanging bunks 
for eight men. . 
Under the floor of the mess room there is 
a large chest holding several tons of ice for cold 
storage. The hatch in the mess room floor giving 
access to this ice is directly under the mess room 
companion on deck, so that ice can be easily 
lowered from the deck. 
The motive power consists of a 100 horsepower 
• reversing Standard engine having six cylinders 
with a bore of 8in. and stroke of loin. This en¬ 
gine sets in a water tight pit about 15m. below 
the mess room floor. The idea of this being to 
prevent any oil or grease from getting into the 
bilge of the boat. There is an auxiliary plant 
combining air and bilge pump; the bilge pump 
being piped to draw from the bilge or from the 
waste tanks, and to discharge either overboard 
or to a hose for washing purposes or. for fire 
purposes, or discharging into the water jacket of 
the engine. The idea for the latter being that 
there may be another method of supplving cir¬ 
culating water to the engine, in case the regular 
circulating pump should give out, and also for 
cooling off the engine after it is stopped, this 
being advisable for cruising in southern or warm 
climates, so as to keep the mess room as cool as 
possible. 
The boat is lighted with acetylene gas of the 
safety storage system, the cylinders being located 
in the lazarette. The boat has a large water 
tank capacity, about 2,000 gallons. All the tanks 
are made of steel, and of such size that- they can 
be removed through the large hatch in the floor 
of the main saloon without disturbing any of 
the joiner work. . There are large skylights lie- 
sides port holes in the side of the vessel, giving 
ample lmht and ventilation. The main compan- 
ionway. is large with seats on each side; the stair¬ 
way being about three feet wide. 
The deck of Savarona is wide, giving ample 
room for stowing boats. The equipment of boats 
carried consists of a naphtha launch, 22ft.,. a 
speed launch with 18 horsepower, automarint 
Standard engine, a cutter, and a dinghy. The 
spars and rigging are all heavy, and the sai 
spread is moderate. 
The ioo horsepower engine gives Savarona 2 
speed of rather better than ten statute miles pei 
hour. The propeller is a solid one, being al¬ 
lowed to revolve when the boat is under sail 
With her ample freeboard, good beam, anc 
moderate draft, Savarona represents a most at 
tractive type of auxiliary cruising boat. Th< 
owner’s quarters give room for sleeping sevei 
people in berths, besides having transoms w.hicl 
can be made uo into extra berths when required 
The boat is built of- steel, has teak deck and tea’ 
furniture, and in fact in every way is as hand 
some and serviceable as a boat can be made. 
Savarona is owned by C. H. Clark, Jr., 0 
Philadelphia, who has expressed his entire satis 
faction of the boat in every particular. She i 
considered one of the handsomest and most at 
tractive boats that has ever been about thes 
waters. Savarona was designed by Mr. Artfni 
Binney, of Boston, and completed early in 190 
by the firm of Geo. Hawley & • Son, Corporator 
South Boston. Her dimensions are as follows 
Length— 
Over all .114ft. 
Waterline . 82ft 
Beam . 22ft. 91
