FOREST AND STREAM. 
[May 6, 1911. 
Work al Nock’s Yard. 
One of the busiest yards on the Atlantic 
Coast is that of Nock at East Greenwich. 
There are about seventy-five yachts stored- there 
and nearly all will be in commission this sea¬ 
son. Some have already been launched and 
others are bejng scraped and painted. On a few 
changes have been made and there are some 
new boats well advanced toward the finishing 
stages. 
A 75-foot cruising motor boat is being built 
for a New York yachtsman, and this craft 
meant the enlargement of the construction 
building. An addition 15 by 60 feet was put on 
the west end. This new cruiser will be up-to- 
date in every way, and will be driven by two 
four-cylinder Murray & Tregurtha engines 6j/i 
by 8 inches driving twin screws. The raised 
sheer extends more than half the length of the 
boat and terminates in a cabin trunk over the 
owner’s quarters aft. There is a 16-foot deck 
forward, then a deck house in which will be the 
dining room. This is 12 feet long and the floor 
is snug below the line of the deck, thus keep¬ 
ing the weight low and not making the vessel 
look top-heavy. A bridge deck extends over 
the galley. The interior layout shows a large 
chain locker in the forepeak. The crew's 
quarters, which are large and comfortable, come 
next. A passageway leads under the dining 
room from the galley to the crew’s quarters. 
The galley is 13 feet by 5 feet and is arranged 
with all modern conveniences. Aft of the gal¬ 
ley and separated by watertight bulkheads at 
each end is the engine space. The gasolene 
tanks are also in this space. In the after part 
of the yacht are two staterooms with double 
berths, lockers, etc., one on each side. On the 
port side is a bathroom and on the op¬ 
posite side an alcove from which the com¬ 
panionway leads to the deck. The owner’s 
stateroom is the entire width of the yacht and 
ten feet in length. It is fitted with a double 
berth, divan, bureau, dresser, wardrobe, deck, 
etc. The interior finish of the owner’s quarters 
is mahogany, and all the exterior woodwork, 
the dining room and deck fittings are of ma¬ 
hogany. The yacht will carry a sailing tender 
and a high speed launch on the davits. This 
boat will not be ready until July. She will be 
launched about the end of June. 
H. S. Bullock is having a launch built at 
Nock's which is nearing completion. This craft 
is to be named Uonda and is the third craft 
built by Nock for Mr. Bullock. The finishings 
are all of mahogany. There is a short raised 
deck forwardwitha trunk cabin about i6feet long. 
The interior arrangements consist of a stateroom 
forward fitted with two single berths. Then 
comes the toilet on one side and a clothes 
locker on the other. The cabin is fitted with 
two extension berths. The galley and engine 
are aft. This boat is to be driven by a 30-horse¬ 
power heavy duty Lamb motor. 
C. G. Washburn, of Worcester, has had a 30- 
foot auxiliary built which is about ready for 
launching. She is a typical low powered cruiser 
with short overhangs, a moderate sail area and 
power enough to drive her at a good rate of 
speed. A good forecastle with accommodations 
for a paid hand, a galley and cabin are arranged 
comfortably. The motor will be a io-horse- 
power Standard. This boat will be kept at 
Narragansett Pier all the season, as her owner 
has his summer residence there. 
Dr. G. W. Van Benschoten, of Philadelphia, 
is having an ocean cruiser built from designs 
by J. Murray Watts. This boat is very heavily 
constructed because she is intended for the 
Bermuda race. Her dimensions are 45 feet 10 
inches long, 10 feet 6 inches beam and 3 feet 
draft. In appearance she very much resembles 
the Ilys, Caliph and others designed by Mr. 
Watts. These boats were designed specially for 
cruising along; the coast and going off shore. 
There is a fairly high freeboard at the raised 
sheer. Her sections are very easy and she 
should be driven at a fair rate of speed with 
the minimum amount of power. Her forward 
sections and the broad deck line show con¬ 
siderable flare. The stern is of the modified 
Normand type. She is to be driven by a four- 
cylinder Pearl motor. The interior arrange¬ 
ments consist of a galley forward, the crew’s 
quarters and engine room and the cabin which 
is fitted with extension berths, sideboard, lock¬ 
ers, table, etc. The owner’s stateroom is aft 
and contains a double berth, divan, dresser and 
bureau. The general finish of the interior is 
mahogany and with white enamel. The frames 
are spaced closely and the planking is iJS 
inches thick. The trunk sides, deck beams, 
clamps, stringers and shelves are very heavy and 
there are two sister keelsons running the full 
length. There is a double steering apparatus, 
and the strong railing shows that every pre¬ 
caution has been taken to insure strength, which 
is further accentuated by the number of port 
lights. 
W. C. Rhodes, of Providence is having a 
small power boat built which will be fitted with 
a double cylinder 7^-horsepower Buffalo 
motor. A one-design class is building for 
Kenneth Wood and others of Saylesville. 
The Forest and Stream may be obtained from 
any newsdealer on order. Ask your dealer to 
supply you regularly.
