FOREST AND STREAM. 
[June 13, 1908. 
Dorello, a New Boston Boat. 
Designer George Owen has turned out a 
new boat for Mr. George S. Batchelder that 
goes by the name of Dorello. There are as 
many new wrinkles about this boat as there 
were on the Little Rhody, a former boat by the 
same designer. 
Dorello was built at East Boothbay, Maine, 
and made her first appearance off Marblehead 
recently. She will rate at 33ft., is odd in many 
ways as to rig, fittings and general looks. She 
has no bowsprit, yet carries a topmast, as shown 
in the accompanying photo. She is painted 
white with a green underbody, all interior fit¬ 
tings being enameled, the galley and forward of 
it in buff and the cabin in white, with the ma¬ 
hogany trimmings rubbed down in linseed oil 
and beeswax. This enamel has been imported 
from Amsterdam by the owner especially for the 
boat. 
She is 39ft. waterline, 58ft. 6m. over all, nit. 
3in. beam and 7ft. 6in. draft. She will spread 
1,800 sq. ft. of sail, the sails being made by Wil¬ 
son & Silsby. 
All her spars are hollow and her topmast, 
which was added to give her speed in reaching, 
will telescope into the lower mast. 
Below deck the boat will be roomy, having a 
stateroom aft, a good size saloon, and accom¬ 
modations for three men forward. In her in¬ 
terior fittings she has a number of novel ideas 
of her owner. The boat has not a draw aboard, 
being fitted with a number of glass shelves; in 
fact, she is fitted up with the idea of stripping 
easy for racing, yet to be a fine yacht for 
cruising. 
Mr. Batchelder will race her in every event 
that the boat can enter. She will be seen 
around Marblehead until the Eastern Y. C.’s 
cruise, which she will follow. After the cruise 
disbands the boat will probably go south of the 
cape. 
In Long Island Sound she will be raced 
Larchmont week, in the Astor cup race, the New 
York Y. C. cruise and the Manhasset Bay cup 
race. 
In speaking of his boat Mr. Batchelder said 
that he thought he had in her a boat of about 
the right size, one that could be used for after¬ 
noon sailing, one that could be handled by her 
owner with the help of one man, a good cruiser 
and a fast racing boat. 
Knickerbocker Y. C. Race. 
The first race of the year, that of the 
Knickerbocker Y. C., on Saturday, June 6, if 
taken as any indication of the standing of the 
sport this year, promises a banner year instead 
of, as many have said, a poor year. It may be 
a little flat in the larger classes, but just watch 
the small boys. 
Addison Hanan’s Seneca, winner of the Can¬ 
ada’s cup in 1907, astonished the skippers of the 
New York thirties by giving them a sound beat¬ 
ing when compared as to elapsed time over the 
course. 
Com. John B. Palmer’s new sloop, Duchess, 
also a Herreshoff boat, won easily in the first 
division of the handicap class, and Robert 
Jacob’s new 22-footer, Chaperone, by winning 
out in the class. 
Hera II. won against a field of six other New 
York thirties.

Detroit Y. C. Racing. 
Yachting about Detroit is on the boom this! 
year, and both sailboat and power boat men; 
anticipate a great year. The season has started 
off well at all events, as the first Detroit Y. C 
regatta on May 30 brought out a fleet of twenty- 
seven starters, but owing to lack of wind only 
seven yachts finished, but the attendance showec 
the yachting interest was there. 
There is a great rivalry between the one 
design catboats of the Detroit Y. C., the Detroit 
Boat Club and the Solray Club. The summary 
of the first race is as follows:
