Yacht Work at Port Chester. 
The promise of an early spring has resulted in 
unusual activity at the various yacht building 
yards. At the plant erf the Luders Marine Con¬ 
struction Co., of Port Chester, they are only 
awaiting settled weather conditions before launch¬ 
ing Francis L. Fields’ 50-footer Santee, recently 
designed and built by this concern. 
A. G. Cheesebrough’s Wistaria has been over¬ 
hauled while laid up at the yard, a new deck 
house built and the entire interior arrangement 
ripped out and altered. The 65-footer Firinzi, 
now Dorothea, has been undergoing considerable 
alteration and is now ready for the water. 
A 45-foot fast cabin launch for Schuyler 
Schieffelin, is now in frame. This craft which 
is 6 feet wide has the unique feature of a small 
shelter cabin in the extreme rear of the boat. 
This cabin will contain a small lounging com¬ 
partment. a toilet room and ice box. Except for 
these features the boat is of the open express 
type with a long turtle back forward, engine and 
helmsman cockpit amidship and with a large 
cockpit with awnings in the stern and forward 
of the shelter cabin. A soeed of 22 miles per 
hour has been guaranteed with a Too horsepower 
Jencick engine. This boat is for service at Bar 
Harbor and consequently strength and seaworthi¬ 
ness enter largely into her makeup. 
Another craft from this company’s design is 
the 40-foot cabin cruiser Kathmar for Robert 
T. Fowler, of Mt. Vernon, N. Y. This boat is 
of the fast cruiser tyoe, twelve miles per hour. 
The engine being in the forward portion of the 
boat under a raised deck where a crew of one 
or two will also be berthed. The main cockpit, 
watertight and scunnered, is aft of the engine 
space and is of sufficient size for a party of a 
dozen or more. The cabin is right aft, a feat¬ 
ure first used and developed in this country by 
Mr. Luders. This cabin, situated in the most 
comfortable portion of the boat, contains a large 
toilet room, a gal’ev and ice box. These parts 
are finished in selected figured African mahog¬ 
any. Aft of the galley is the saloon with ac¬ 
commodations for four people. The room will 
be furnished in white enamel with mahoganv 
trimmings. The mahogany house will be fitted 
with large brass air ports instead of the usual 
windows, as the boat is designed for possible 
rough work. The boat has been built to con¬ 
form with the restrictions of the Marblehead race 
in which it mav compete. 
The 106-foot power cruiser for John H. 
Flagler is now well under way. The hull is 
practically complete and the ioiner work being 
rapidly pushed alone-. This boat in wh : ch a 300 
horsepower Standard eneine is installed is to"be 
ready for an early summer delivery and wiM be 
one of the rapidly growing power boat fleet to 
take part in the annual Yew York Y. G. cruise. 
A 40-fool High Speed Yacht. 
t A high speed motor boat is being built for a 
New York yachtsman by M. B. Salisbury, at Bar 
Harbor.^ 1 he designs were drawn by Gielow & 
Orr. This craft is 40 feet long, 6 feet beam, 
with good freeboard and the general design of 
the hull is such as to give stability and sea¬ 
worthiness. The construction is substantial. 
The keel, stem, sternpost and frames are of 
oak. The outside planking will be of cedar with 
mahogany sheer strake. The hull has a turtle- 
back deck forward with space underneath di¬ 
vided into separate compartments, the forward 
compartment being air and watertight, while the 
compartment abaft of this will contain a 6-cylin¬ 
der engine which will drive the yacht twenty- 
two miles an hour. 
The control of the boat both for the helms¬ 
man and the operation of the engine is in the 
forward end of the cockpit. The steering wheel 
is of the regular automobile type. The cockpit 
is 14 feet long and with the exception of a sta¬ 
tionary seat in the after end will be fitted with 
wicker chairs. In the after end of the yacht will 
be another airtight and watertight compartment. 
One of these compartments will keep the yacht 
afloat. This yacht is to be ready for delivery 
by May 15.

Sparks. 
Miles L. Carter, of Attleboro, a member of 
the Rhode Island Y. C., has had his new motor 
boat Yankee I. launched from Nock's yard at 
East Greenwich. Yankee I. is 45 feet over all, 
12 feet beam and 3.5 feet draft. She is fitted 
with a 45-65 Sterling motor and is to make

long is for Mark T. Vincent and the other 40 
feet long is for William Almy.

been elected chairman of the newly organized 
power boat committee of Narragansett Bay. 
A meeting of those who are interested in 
motor boat racing on Gravesend Bay is to be 
held next week at the Crescent A. C., in Brook¬ 
lyn, to arrange details for the season's sport. 
Several handsome cups have been offered and 
there will be plenty of racing if the owners 
want to race. 
A new 40-foot cabin motor boat for Charles 
A. Schieren for service on the Great South Bay 
is about finished at the Gas Engine & Power 
Co.’s works at Morris Heights. This yacht has 
a 32-40 Speedway motor and is to make thirteen 
miles an hour. It will be named Lorelei II.

has been launched. 
American Motor Boats for Ireland. 
Consul S. S. Knabenshue, of Belfast, reports 
that there is a wide field for the use of marine 
gasolene motors in that Irish district. Fie 
writes: 
“Yachting is a very popular amusement here 
Two of the most prominent yachting clubs of 
the country have their headquarters near Bel¬ 
fast, and there is hardly a town of any size 
situated on the sea coast but has a sailing, 
boating or rowing club. There are also a 
number of lakes in the interior on which there 
are boats and yachts. 
“Motor boats have as yet a limited use. 
There are perhaps a dozen on the northeast 
coast of Ireland, Their owners had local 
builders construct their hulls after models which 
have approved themselves by use in the strong 
tides and treacherous currents of these seas. 
The motor engines were purchased of builders 
in England or Scotland and were installed here. 
The consulate has had, within the past two 
years, letters from at least a half dozen motor 
boat and engine builders in the United States. 
Each has been furnished a list of addresses, 
with a strong recommendation to offer to an 
aproved agent a sample motor and to pay the 
cost of installation in a suitable hull here. So 
far no American manufacturer appears to have 
made any arrangement to be represented in this 
consular district. 
“Though no marine motors are manufactured 
here, the English makers are endeavoring to 
cover the field. Naturally a man contemplat¬ 
ing the purchase of a motor boat is inclined to 
buy an English-made motor, because he can see 
it in operation and test it before placing his 
order. There is somewhat of a prejudice 
against American-made machinery, which is as¬ 
sumed to be too light and therefore not durable. 
Weight and strength appear to be synonymous 
terms in the minds of many here. Hence the
