A New One-Design Class for the New 
Rochelle Y. C. 
Designer R. M. Haddock, of New Rochelle, 
has kindly furnished for reproduction, the lines 
and sail plan of the one-design boats now being 
built by Win. Haff, at Glen Island dock, New 
Rochelle. 
The boats, two of which are planked, and one 
more on the mould in course of building, show 
a very commodious, big, able, wholesome type of 
boat, well canvassed as the sail plan shows. 
They are about the same length as the former 
t 5ft. waterline class of boats—Ace, Knave, Caper, 
Omoo and Agawan II.—owned by members of 
this club, designed and built by Mr. L. D. Hunt¬ 
ington, Jr. 
Ace is the only one of these five remaining 
about New Rochelle, but it is hoped she may 
he put in good shape and raced against the new 
boats just to see how the two models compare. 
The new boats are of very much heavier dis¬ 
placement and larger topsides. In the plans 
they look almost tubby, they are so* full, but in 
the boats themselves planked up it does not 
appear so^ prominently. 
They are a step backwards in the present day 
rush to extremes, toward a good, sensible craft, 
with plenty of room inside. Air tanks fitted 
under the cockpit seats make them unsinkable. 
Such boats are to be recommended as about 
the safest kind of a boat for beginners. 
Their dimensions are: 
Length—• 
Over all .21ft. oin. 
Waterline .14ft. 7in. 
Beam, extreme . 7ft. oin. 
Draft—- 
Hull alone ... oft. io^in. 
Extreme . 3ft. 3m. 
Least freeboard . ift. sin. 
Total sail area . 288 sq. ft. 
Mainsail . 238 sq. ft. 
Jib . 50 sq. ft. 
Work at Steinway. 
The works of the old Daimler Mfg. Co. have 
long since gone up in smoke and the black, 
charred ruins you pass in the trolley car just be¬ 
fore you get to the street leading to their old 
boat shop on the shore of Bowery Bay. But 
what a change has come over the old boat shop 
now run by Williams-Whittlesey Company. 
It is hardly recognizable; inside even greater 
activity is apparent. In the first main building, 
where all the machinery is with office and draft¬ 
ing room annexed, no less than five new boats 
between 50 and 80ft. in length are in course of 
building. First comes Athenia, 60ft. long, 12ft. 
wide, single screw, 25 horsepower, for Mr. H. 
Murphy, of Detroit. Next to her is Osprey, Soft, 
long, 14ft. wide, twin screw, 50 horsepower, for 
Mr. C. R. Runyon. Then Lillian II., 75ft. long, 
15ft. wide, twin screw, 25 horsepower, for Mr. 
G. R. Reeves. La Vedette, 50ft. long, 10ft. 3m. 
wide, single screw, 18 horsepower, for Mr. A. 
P. Plumb. Lydia, 75ft. long, 14ft. wide, single 
screw, to horsepower, for Mr. J. L. Roper. 
These five boats, as may be supposed, pretty 
well fill up the shop, and tile joiner work for all 
these boats is being gotten out also and about 
six rowboats building under their bows. 
Just outside of this building are two large 
boats nearly completed. The Soft, by lift, double- 
planked boat for Mr. Aug. Heckscher with 300 
horsepower, complete electric light outfit, extra 
bilge pump, and a guaranteed speed of 20 miles 
an hour. If the model is any criterion this boat 
should exceed expectations. Alongside of her 
a sister craft in apoearance is the 85ft by 12ft. 
triple screw launch for Mr. E. R. Thomas. 
Three 100 horsepower automobile engines will 
drive this boat. 
In another large shed on the shore four more 
launches are getting ready for service: Semi¬ 
nole. = =:ft. long, 10ft. wide, 50 horsepower, for Mr. 
H. T. Koerner, for use around Buffalo, N. Y.; 
Aloha, 75ft. long, 14ft. wide, 75 horsepower, with 
separate hot water heating outfit, etc., for Mr. 
A. Felix Dupont, of the Dupont Powder Works, 
Wilmington, Del.; two Rochester boats, Dolph, 
57ft. long, 11^2 ft. wide, 25 horsepower, for Mr. 
W. C. Stuber, and Dacota, 65ft. long, 13ft. wide,
