Launch of Asor II. 
Asor II., the largest twin screw steel power 
yacht built in this country or abroad, was 
launched from the yard of the builder, B. F. 
Wood, City Island, Saturday May 23. The yacht 
was designed by Mr. William Gardner for Mr. 
Mulford Martin, a member of the American Y. 
C. The dimensions are, length over all, 120ft.; 
length on waterline, 110ft.; beam, 12ft. din. and 
draft, 4ft. 3in. 
The hull is constructed entirely of steel, of 
high tensile strength. It is divided into five 
watertight compartments by five steel bulkheads, 
extending from keel to deck, arranged as fol¬ 
lows: Fore peak, crew’s quarters, gasolene tank 
space, engine space, owner’s quarters and laza- 
rette. A clear white pine flush deck extends 
from stem to stern over all these quarters with 
a trunk cabin house in three sections over the 
crew’s space, machinery space _ and owner’s 
quarters, to provide light and ventilation in addi¬ 
tion to the side port lights. 
The owner’s and guests’ quarters consist of 
SHINNECOCIv Y. C. ONE-DESIGN BOAT. 
two large double staterooms, two bathrooms, one 
dressing room, main saloon, pantry and passage¬ 
way. , 
The woodwork throughout the owner s quart¬ 
ers is handsomely paneled, finished in enameled 
white, with mahogany furniture, and trim. The 
bathrooms are made complete with tubs, station¬ 
ary porcelain wash basins and toilets, all with 
nickel plated fittings. 1 he deck houses, sky¬ 
lights, companionway and hand rails are of 
mahogany. All the deck fittings are of silver 
metal. 
The gasolene tanks are of copper and are 
placed in a watertight compartment directly aft 
of the galley and absolutely isolated from the 
rest of the boat. The machinery consists of two 
300 horsepower 6-cylinder Craig engines, placed 
amidships in one watertight compartment. The 
crankshafts and connecting rods and all the. prin¬ 
cipal forgings of the engines are of the highest 
grade nickel steel, bored hollow. The engines 
are thoroughly balanced and of the most modern 
type and are expected to propel the boat 24 knots 
an hour. 
After a series of trials Asor II. will be put 
in commission and used by Mr. Martin daily to 
take him to and from the city to his home in 
Rye. 
Shinnecock Y. C. One-Design Boats. 
In our Oct. 12, 1907, issue Forest and Stream 
published the plans of the Shinnecock Bay new 
one-design class. The two accompanying views 
o fone of these boats under sail have been fur¬ 
nished us by the designer, Mr. Morgan Barney, 
of 29 Broadway, New York. Ten of these 
handy little sloops were built more than was at 
first expected by the Greenport Basin and Con¬ 
struction Co. They are 22ft. long over all, 16ft. 
on the waterline, 6ft. 6in. beam and 22 inches 
draft, with 1,250 pounds of lead on their keels. 
They proved to be both fast and very able 
under sail, standing up well in spite of their 
extremely light draft, and were very handy on 
their helm. They are ideal boats for young fel¬ 
lows to learn to sail in, being so well and moder¬ 
ately proportioned all through.
