FOREST AND STREAM. 
[JAN. 13, 1906. 

An Auxiliary Cruising Yawl. 
On a cruising boat the disposition of the in- 
ternal space is an all-important feature. Messrs. 
Small Brothers have the happy faculty of not 
only designing boats admirably suited to cruis- 
ing, but they are able to plan the interiors to 
the best possible advantage. The ability to 
couple these two important things no doubt ac- 
counts in a measure for the success that this 
firm has attained. The writer recalls a boat 
known as Monomey, which was designed by the 
Small Brothers before they entered the field as 
professional yacht designers. This boat which 
was about 28ft. waterline length was built ior 
the two brothers for off-shore work. Monomey 
was not a particularly handsome craft, but she 
proved herself to be a splendid cruiser and the 
amount of room she had below was a revelation 
to those who had the good fortune to go aboard 
of her. 
The craft whose plans are reproduced this 
week was designed by Messrs. Small Brothers 
for Dr. A. H. Smith, of Rochester, N.“Y. She 
was built by Messrs. W. I. Adams & Son, of 
East Boothbay, Maine, and she was sailed 
from there to her home port. 
She is a centerboard boat drawing with the 
board up just under sit. The board does not 
interfere with the cabins in any way as it houses 
below the cabin floor. 
The boat has fairly long overhangs, good 
breadth and a powerful section. She carries 
her sail well, and she is a dry and comfortable 
sea boat. 
The mainmast is placed well forward, and in 
this way a cabin house 2oft. 6in. long was pos- 
sible. The cockpit itself is r1oft. long and 7ft. 
wide. The cockpit coaming extends beyond 
the cockpit proper and is carried around the 
mizzen mast. This arrangement gives good 
deck space aft of the wheel, where guests may 
lounge in an out-of-the-way place which is 
pretty sure to be dry, even in the dirtiest 
weather. 
The companionway is on the port side and it 
opens into a roomy cabin 11ft. 6in. long. On 
each side are two berths and in front there are 
transoms. Forward on each side are buffets. 
The motor extends into the cabin, but it is 
hidden in an ingenious way by what appears to 
be a locker. 
On the starboard side forward is a stateroom 
6ft. long and opposite is a toilet 3ft. long. Next 
comes the galley with full headroom. In the 
forecastle there is one berth for a paid hand. 
The rig is of liberal size, but it is planned 
with a view to easy handling. A boat is carried 
on the davits which are placed on the star- 
board side. 
A 12-horsepower Rochester engine furnishes 
the motive power and in smooth water it drives 
the boat at a speed of about six and one-half 
miles an hour. The dimensions are as follows:

THE EnpyMion PuHotoGRAPHS.—That photo- 
graph of Endymion with its tremendous mountain 
slope of water is one of the most realistic and 
effective sea pictures we have ever seen. It is a 
vision of the deep such as they behold who go 
down to the sea in ships. 

British Letter. 
Fiat Times.—Rarely has such a slack period 
been found in the annals of yachting in late 
years. There seems to be absolutely nothing 
of importance doing at any of the big yards, 
no new vessels building or about to be built; 
in fact, everything seems to be at a standstill. 
This is partly accounted for by the fact that 
the shipbuilding yards on the Clyde are very 
full with orders for war vessels and big steamers 
for the mercantile marine and will not deal with 
their yachting contracts until pressure of work 
in the other directions is relieved. There is 
certainly a dearth of new work with steam 
yachts, and as for racing boats, with only two 
more years for the rating rule and in view of 
the general state of uncertainty as to what will 
then happen, it is not surprising that owners 
are shy to build. 
A PROBABLE COMPETITOR.—It is good news to 
learn that Mr. J. J. Frame, who owned and suc- 
cessfully raced the old 4o-rater Carina on the 
Clyde for many years, has purchased the fast 
cruising yawl built at Fairlie. 
Mr. Frame may race his boat during the Clyde 
Fortnight against White Heather and Mr. 
Young’s new cutter, though she will most likely 
not go far from the Clyde, unless she proves 
phenomenally successful against the cutters. 
White Heather and Mr. Young’s cutter are 
going the whole hog in the way of spars. It 
is understood that with the exception of main- 
mast and bowsprit, every spar will be hollow. 
No expense is apparently to be spared in the 
equipment and outfit of either vessel, and they 
will be brought up as close to the first class 
standard as is possible. There is no news of 
Bona or Kariad changing hands. The former 
would be about the same size as the two cutters, 
but would prove too slippery for them, es- 
pecially if she were put, back into cutter rig. 
Taken all round, the prospects for the coming 
season are not very good, for with the excep- 
tion of the big classes and 52-footers, the bulk 
of the racing will be done by the local classes. 
Things are, however, distinctly looking up for 
the near future. Owners have begun to take 
an active interest in their own boats and the 
sport generally. The Y. R. A. has been roused 
to action, and everything points to better times. 
The day of flimsy construction is doomed, and 
it is highly improbable that any more large 
racing yachts will be thus built. The lull in 
yacht building so noticeable now is only 
natural in the face of the great changes which 
will shortly take place, and two or three years 
will show a revival of racing on far more prac- 
tical lines. 
Tue 18-Footers.—The owners of many of the 
18-footers, which are stationed at Burnham on 
Crouch in Essex, have intimated their desire to 
take their little vessels round to the Solent for 
the month of August and try conclusions with 
the Solent fleet. The idea has been heartily 
welcomed on the Solent, and arrangements will 
be made to give the visitors a good time. The 
meeting of the two classes should prove in- 
teresting; but it can hardly be doubted that the 
Solent boats will carry off the palm for speed, 
seeing that the crack boat at Burnham is My 
Lady Dainty, and she is seven or eight years 
old. Repeated attempts have been made to 
outbuild her, but without success; but it should 
be stated that the Burnham fleet are rather a 
scratch lot, some of them being designed by 
their owners, while the Solent boats are from 
the boards of the best designers of the day. 
In enthusiasm and seamanship the Burnham 
contingent have little to fear, for they are ex- 
cellent Corinthian sailors and possess but few 
paid hands. KELLY. 

ForEST AND STREAM’S RATING UNDER THE 
New Rute.—We quote the following from a 
letter received at this office from one of our 
correspondents: “I am keen to get home to- 
night and see ForEsT AND STREAM in its new 
rig. I suppose it will rate lower under the uni- 
versal rule now that it is to be shorter over 
al], narrower and to have a more compact cross 
section.”

The season just passed has been the most 
prosperous in the club’s history. The treas- 
urer’s report shows the club to be in splendid 
financial condition; its assets exceed liabilities 
by $15,300. Owing to the fact that the mem- 
bership has almost reached its limit, the club 
voted unanimously in favor of increasing the 
initiation fee.
