1024 FOREST AND STREAM. [Dec. 26, 1908. 
model which, too, will be the finest built. Mr. 
Boucher has a model ship building plant in 
Maiden Lane, and has made models for the 
Army and Navy Departments, for the New 
York and other yacht clubs and for many 
yachtsmen. The model of Iolanda is to inch 
scale, and as the yacht is 305 feet over all, the 
length will be between 6 and 7 feet long. Every¬ 
thing on the yacht will be made to scale; every¬ 
thing, too, will be in working order and all the 
fittings, furnishings and decorations will be 
exactly as in the larger vessel. This model is 
to be complete inside and outside, and the in¬ 
terior will be shown by breaking away parts of 
the hull to show just how the rooms below 
decks are arranged and fitted. Mr. Boucher 
sailed for Europe last Wednesday. Iolanda is 
at Marseilles and he is to make photographs 
and take measurements of the yacht there. 
The model will take four months to build.

Launch Fitted for Cruising. 
A 50-FOOT launch is building at Burgess & 
Packard s \ ard, at Marblehead, which has in- 
terested a number of visitors, and in discussing 
the boat with them, certain variations have been 
proposed. 
1 his boat is to be used in and about Boston 
Harbor and neighboring waters, principally to 
carry the owner and his guests from Boston 
to Ins summer residence in Cohasset. She is 
approximately 50 feet over all, 42 feet on the 
waterline, 8 feet beam and 3 feet 6 inches draft. 
1 he planking is to be of white cedar, finished 
^-mcn, copper riveted, and painted white on 
the top sides, with an anti-fouling green bot- 
tom. The sheer strake will be of clear white 
oak, finished bright, and moulded at the upper 
edge with a half-round. The decks are to be 
of white pine, handsomely finished with seams 
payed with black marine glue. The covering 
board will be of mahogany; the houses and 
cockpit will be handsomely finished, bright in- 
side and the cabin, engine room and forecastle 
will be plainly finished of bright varnished pine. 
1 he boat is to be equipped with one four¬ 
cycle, four-cylinder type R engine, built by the 
Charles J. Jager Company, of Boston. The 
cylinders are to be 6 % inches diameter and 8- 
mch stroke, fitted with a make and break ig¬ 
nition. Electricity is to be furnished by a 130- 
ampere storage battery, charged by an “Apple” 
dynamo, and connected with an automatic cut¬ 
out switch. 1 here are to be two separate spark 
coils, and an auxiliary igniting battery con¬ 
sisting of two sets of eight cells each. The en¬ 
gine is to be carefully tested and proved to de¬ 
liver not less than 40 brake horespower at 550 
revolutions per minute. The propeller is to be, 
bronze, three-bladed, especially designed for 
the boat, and a speed of not less than 15 miles 
per hour is to be developed in the trial on the 
measured mile course at Marblehead. 
This boat is not intended for extensive cruis¬ 
ing and is not fitted elaborately for such pur¬ 
pose, but there are comfortable accommoda¬ 
tions for trips of a day or two at a time. She 
will be very completely fitted with all the equip¬ 
ment required by the regulations besides the 
fittings that would ordinarily be put on a boat 
of this type for the comfort of its passengers— 
covers, awnings, signals, wash deck gear,
