FOREST AND STREAM. 
[Jan. i, 1910. 
]t was stipulated at 665 pounds. But now the 
weight will have to be changed. The only stip¬ 
ulations that have been named so far for the 
races are that no crew shall consist of more 
than four men and that the personnel of such 
crews shall not be changed during the series of 
races, except for some reasonable cause, such 
as illness or accident. This means that the 
Canadian crew will have to get together the 
heaviest crew it can muster. It is quite ap¬ 
parent that the weight figures in the. sailing of 
the boats, for with a heavy crew in a light 
craft, sitting to windward in a stiff breeze, the 
skipper is enabled to carry more sail, whereas 
in a light breeze, a heavy crew sitting on the 
leeward combing, heels the boat over into her 
best sailing position. 
Many New Motor Boats. 
Morris M. Whitaker has been very busy

Lloyds Harbor Club. 
The members of the Lloyds Harbor Club 
have received the prizes for which they com¬ 
peted this year. This club is composed of 
yacht owners belonging to the New York 
Athletic Club and the Harlem and New 
Rochelle yacht clubs. They sail from New 
Rochelle to Lloyds Harbor at the end of some 
weeks, remain there over Sunday and then sail 
home. Prizes are offered each season for the 
first and last yachts in commission. The prize 
for the first yacht to reach Lloyds Harbor this 
year was won by C. A. Marsland’s Io. That 
was won on March 15. 
On May 15 there was a race from New 
Rochelle to Lloyds Harbor, which was won 
by B. R. Stoddard’s Fearless. A similar race 
on Oct. 30 was won by C. A. Marsland’s Io, 
and the race back to New Rochelle on Nov. 2 
was won by E. H. Tucker’s Ramallah. E. H. 
Tucker won the prize offered for the most 
original entertainment furnished at the harbor 
and the prize for the best masquerade costume 
worn on the beach on Labor Day was won by 
C. S. King, owner of Tillicum II. 
Handy 16-Foot Sloop. 
Several readers of Forest and Stream 
have asked for more plans of small, yachts. 
Several American designers have promised the 
lines of small craft suitable to men of moderate 
means, which can be built for small cost and 
easily handled and taken care of, which will 
appear from time to time. 
In recent years the trend of all yachtsmen 
has been toward the small craft, and sailing 
dories, sailing dinghies and small knockabouts 
have become very popular. They will be even 
more popular next season, and many boats 
for small classes are being built all along tlie 
coast and some enthusiasts are building their 
own craft. 
The plans published herewith are taken from 
the Yachtsman, of London. The craft is a 
small one that is particularly pleasing in many 
ways, and it should be a safe., sound craft for 
young yachtsmen to begin with. The dimen¬ 
sions of this yacht are 20 feet over all, 16 feet 
on the load waterline, 6 feet beam, 2 feet 2 inches 
draft without centerboard and 4 feet 4 inches 
draft with centerboard. The total displace¬ 
ment is approximately 2,200 pounds. The keel, 
which is of iron, weighs 600 pounds, and the 
centerboard, J^-inch steel, no pounds. 
Motor Boats on Lake Geneva. 
Consul Francis B. Keene writes in the 
Daily Consular and Trade Reports from Geneva 
as follows: “I stated that, in spite of the big 
expanse of water, there was no marked taste 
for motor boating. The short season (the im¬ 
portant Compagnie Generale de Navigation has 
only a very limited service for seven months) 
stands in the way of the development of this 
sport and pastime, but I think the real cause 
lies in the indifference of the people. Two or 
three years ago a company was organized at 
the upper end of the lake, where the tourist 
season is almost continuous, and a service of 
motor boats plied regularly between the two 
shores. Other motor boats of the company 
could be rented for a day or for an hour. The 
company failed, and, after a few months of life, 
is now paying back its shareholders 22. per 
cent, of the nominal value of its stock capital.”
