and Stream.” 
canoes, her chief difference, to my mind, is in 
the extreme rocker of the keel at each end, 
with its attendant features, which are most 
pronounced at the stern. There have been 
other canoes in the past, notably the Gnenn— 
I think it was—built many years ago for William 
Whitlock, and one or two others, in which the 
same results have been attempted, but without 
the same daring, and in all probability not so 
successfully. The ti rning of the comparatively 
flat underbody, with rounded bilge, into a 
pointed stern as required by the rules, has taxed 
the builder's art to the extreme, but has been 
accomplished perfectly, although the planking 
had to be cut from very wide stock and steamed 
in order to accomplish it. The stern is also a 
wide departure from the custom in American 
canoes, by reason of the underbody rudder, 
similar to the English practice, in their larger 
canoes. The rudder is a bronze plate, sliding 
down through a trunk from keel to deck, and 
having a brass tube with a slot out of one side 
to let the blade of the rudder pass through, set 
into the forward end of the trunk to serve as a 
wearing surface for the rudder stock. The 
rudder stock is 3ft. from the stern. The cock¬ 
pit is 17m. wide by 4ft. 6in. long—self bailing, 
with the floor 3m. above the waterline. There 
is a bulkhead at each end of the cockpit, form¬ 
ing three watertight compartments, with a 6in. 
brass hatch with screw cover into each. 
The principal thing that is worrying Mr. Ohl- 
mever now, is how he is to stow his tent, cot, 
cook stove and the remainder of the fifty-seven 
varieties, through these openings when it comes 
to cruising. The centerboard is %in. brofize 
plate, 3ft. long, and is contained entirely in the 
cockpit. The rudder is the same material and 
thickness, but only 13m. deep by iof 4 in. long. 
The freeboard at the bow is nin., 9m. amid- 
ship and Sin. at the stern, while the canoe is 
I2^4in. deep amidship, and having considerable 
crown to the deck, gives her more room and 
makes her look deeper. The sheer is very 
straight, being almost imperceptible, but the 
rocker to the keel draws the ends out very 
finely. The draft is 4^in. The construction 
is the same as all of Stevens’ canoes, who has 
built this one, and is now in the employ of 
Burgess & Packard. The ribs of oak, 2 
spaced 6in. Spruce keelson and Y. P. keel. 
The planking is 3-i6in. Spanish cedar, three 
planks to a side, fastened with brass nails and 
screws. The deck beams are ^in. spruce, vary¬ 
ing in depth according to length, and spaced 
9in. The deck is %in. mahogany, with a finish¬ 
ing strip of sycamore. 
Another innovation connected with this canoe 
will be the style of rig carried, as she will be 
provided with a jib and mainsail. This rig was 
first successfully used by Mr. Burgess last 
year, and with that exception, fs practically 
untried. The result will be watched with in¬ 
terest, and this recalls the fact that there will 
be quite a revolution in canoe sails this coming 
season, all along the line. The success of the 
Winchester canoes last summer has given 
canoeists a lot of food for thought. 
The mast is 3m. diameter, and will be a hol¬ 
low spar, made by the U. S. Cartridge Co., of 
Lowell, and will be placed 5ft. from the bow, 
having head stay and shrouds. The jib will be 
27ft. area, and the mainsail 85ft. There will be 
a traveler on the after deck, near the stern, and 
the main sheet will lead forward to a new style 
of clutch cleat, set on the center of the thwart- 
ship tiller, where the sailor may reach it with 
his foot, to release it, and which will hold auto¬ 
matically, all that may be trimmed in. The sails 
and spars have not yet been completed, so I 
can give no details from observation. 
Altogether, the design of this boat is a de¬ 
cided step from the stereotyped canoe of the 
past, and whether the change of the elements 
will produce as fast, or faster boat, as it will 
unquestionably be an abler one, remains to be 
seen. It shows to my mind very clearly the effect 
the modern small sailing yacht, as well as speed 
launch has had upon the designer, and whether 
it be faster or slower, I believe it is the fore¬ 
runner of a new type of canoe that will revive 
the sport into its old-time popularity.
