Westward at Bristol. 
Alexander S. Cochran's schooner yacht West¬ 
ward arrived at Bristol last Saturday afternoon 
from Southampton England. She had a very 
stormy passage of eighteen days and twenty 
hours and sailed close hauled every day except 
the last two, when the wind was free. She ex¬ 
perienced gale after gale on the trip. The best 
day’s run was last Thursday, when she made 213 
miles. 
Captain Chris Christiansen, who was mate with 
the late Captain Charles Barr on Reliance and 
last year sailed Aurora, is in charge of West¬ 
ward. The yacht dropped anchor near the Her- 
reshoff shops and was soon surrounded by a fleet 
of motor boats. Captain Christiansen cleared the 
yacht at the Custom House, then the vessel was 
warped into the slip at Hereshoff’s where the 
work of stripping her began at once. 
The spars and sails and rigging of the yacht 
came across the ocean on a steamer. Some new 
spars and rigging have been made here and the 
work of fitting her out will begin at once. As 
soon as she is rerigged, the hull will be cleaned 
and painted, and by the end of the month she 
will be ready for racing. It is possible that she 
will sail her first race against Elena in the annual 
regatta of the Larchmont Y. C. on July 4. 
Bug Class at Nahant. 
The Nahant Y. C. members have a class of 
“Bugs” for this year’s sport. The boats, ten in 
all, have been built from designs by William 
Gardner. This class originated in Manhasset 
Bay with George Corry, of the Manhasset Bay 
Y. C. in 1905, the hull of the “bug'’ being some¬ 
what similar to the Departure, one of Mr. Gard¬ 
ner’s earlier boats. The type resembles in its 
hull the half round skiff of the old Cow Boy 
order, but in place of the centerboard, as in the 
skiff, a fin and bulb were substituted. 
The “bug” for 1911 is a reproduction of the 
original craft, but on a larger and more com¬ 
fortable scale, embodying all the improvements 
suggested by five years’ experience in racing the 
type. Dimensions of the new boat are 22.3 feet 
over all, 5.7 feet beam and 15 feet waterline. 
The leg-of-mutton rig measures about 263 square 
feet, the iron bulb weighing 800 pounds. There 
are forward and aft bulkheads of wood and 
plenty of watertight storage space. Steel stand¬ 
ing rigging with bronze fittings will be especially 
made for the boats, and mainsail and jib will 
have sonder boat trim. Members of seven of 
the leading yacht clubs of Long Island Sound 
have given their orders for the boats, which are 
facetiously called the “marine insect” class be¬ 
cause it has become the thing to name them after 
different bugs. 
Owners of the new boats for Nahant, delivery 
of which is promised next month, will be Francis 
Gray, Warren Motley, David Sigourney S. E. 
Gould, J. S. Lovering, W. O. Gay, J. L. Motley, 
J. H. Foster, Nelson Whitney and A. S. Johnson.

One of the interesting boats of the season is 
Snapshot III., built by Simpson at the foot of 
151st street and North River, for J. B.^ Linde- 
mann, a member of the Colonial \. C., from 
plans by Southmayed Hatch, a naval architect 
of this city. 
Snapshot III. was designed primarily for sea¬ 
worthiness and comfort, and with a six-cylinder, 
35-horsepower Von Blerk engine she devejops 
speed of 12 miles per hour, and carries suf¬ 
ficient gasolene for a cruising radius of 300 
miles. 
The arrangement is simple and consists of 
the engine room forward under the bridge deck 
with accommodations for one man. The large 
open cabin, divided from the engine room by an 
extra heavy transverse bulkhead, has accommo¬ 
dations for sleeping eight people by a system of 
Pullman berths. On the starboard side in the 
forward part of the cabin is fitted a dressing 
case with large mirror and draws. Draws are 
also fitted under the transoms. 
On the port side aft of the cabin is a large 
galley with all necessary cooking appliances and 
ice-box. Opposite the galley is a well ventilated 
lavatory. 
The cabin is finished in paneled mahogany and 
green plush upholstery, making a very pleasing 
combination. The beams of the cabin are red 
gum wood finished natural. 
The gasolene is carried under the after deck 
in two separate tanks of the steel seamless 
cylindrical type, and are so protected that any 
possible leak will not run into the bilge of the 
boat. 
Extremely large water tanks are fitted each 
side of the shaft under the cabin floor, and hold 
about 200 gallons. These tanks in addition to 
supplying the necessary water for cooking and 
washing, act as ballast tanks. In every instance 
the weight has been kept as low as possible to 
give the maximum buoyancy. 
The boat will be entered in the Brooklyn Y. 
C.’s new Halifax reciprocity race, the Marble¬ 
head and other races for cruising boats of the 
type. 
In the summer Mr. Lindemann will use the 
boat for cruising along the Hudson River, Long 
Island Sound and adjacent waters, and in the 
winter for hunting and fishing in the south. 
Snapshot III. is 40 feet over all, 10 feet beam 
and draws 3 feet 6 inches.
