more work it is perfectly capable of tal 
ing care of its crew of two for a week 
cruise, and many week ends. I ha\ 
known the joys of many a cabin craf 
yet only last summer I spent many wee 
ends with pleasure and comfort in 
boat no larger or better equipped tha 
this one will be. 
First we must have a tent, which nee 
be no more than a sheet of eight-ounc 
canvas arranged to go over the boor 
and button down over the combing. T 
make it comfortably high, another ey 
must be put in the mast about two fee 
above the deck, in which the boom i 
shipped at night. Near the stern we se 
a boom crotch, to raise the boom abou 
three feet off the deck. Haul in th 
sheet and cleat it tight to keep the boor 
from jumping out. The tent proper vri 
extend from the forward end of th 
cockpit to about two feet behind th 
after end and should be fastened outsid 
the combing every 18 inches. At th 
forward end sew two triangular flap 
which will tie together between th 
boom and deck. The after end is lef 
open. If you live in mosquito country 
make a closed tent of net to tie to th 
boom, and deep enough to tuck unde 
the blankets on the floor. Then make , 
clyindrical bag to hold the two tent 
when not in use. 
A slat floor makes hard sleeping s< 
make two mattresses, not over an incl 
thick, six feet long, with one edg< 
straight, where it meets the centerlim 
of the floor, and the other edge shapei 
somewhat to fit. Ordinary ticking wil 
do but the filling should be kapoc floss 
Spread your blanket out on a mattres: 
and roll it up to find the size of its bag 
Each member of the crew is allowec 
a bag eight inches in diameter by twc 
feet long for his personal belongings 
(They can be bought very cheaply now 
at the Army and Navy stores.) 
The galley is a box about 12 inches 
wide and deep and 24 inches long witf 
rather a deep lid hinged to it. For £ 
stove, nothing is better than one of tin 
two hole canned heat affairs. It wil 
clip into the box lid when folded anc 
sit on the box when in use. Put a half¬ 
inch rail around the top of the box tc 
keep the stove from sliding off. Use tin 
non-liquifying fuel. A can of burning 
liquid dumped in the bilge makes foi 
great excitement as I can testify, but it 
is worth while to forego it. Cooking 
kit: a frying pan, a sauce pan and a 
coffee pot (camp variety) will do for a 
starter. Three each of plates, cups and 
bowls, together with knives, forks and 
spoons. All these will stow in one half 
the box, leaving the other side of a 
partition for the sugar, condensed milk, 
tea, coffee, cocoa, salt, matches, soups 
an,d extra cans of fuel. It is, by the 
way, better to use prepared coffee and 
tea in little bags, as then nothing but 
water is ever put in the coffee pot and 
it can be used for any purpose. 
A folding lantern, with its candles, 
can also stow in this box. It should 
have a lanyard of cotton line to hang 
it to the boom. If, however, you ex¬ 
pect to anchor where yachts or other 
boats are apt to be you should have a
