SAETTA. 
Designed by Henry J. Gielow. 
Saetta’s Record for 1905. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
My attention has been invited to the article, 
“More Trouble,” printed on page 25 of Forest 
AND STREAM, of Jan. 6, 1906, and I send you 
herewith the racing record of Saetta, another 
Class Q boat, owned by Mr. George H. Church, 
that may be of interest to your readers. 
Owing to the owner’s business engagements, 
Saetta did not sail as many races as More 
Trouble, but the two boats met in twenty-six 
races. 
In one of these on the afternoon of Sept. 4, 
none of the boats in any of the classes finished, 
owing to lack of wind. 
Saetta beat More Trouble in sixteen of the 
races, but was disqualified in one of these, in 
which she finished 5s. ahead, for fouling More 
Trouble in crossing the finish line. In the last 
eleven races, from Aug. 5 to Sept. 30, inclusive, 
in which Saetta met More ‘Trouble, Saetta 
finished ahead of More Trouble ten times, but 
June 3. Havens cup No. 1 (time allowance)............. 
Owned by ,George H. Church. 
was disqualified once for the foul above men- 
tioned, thus giving More Trouble the place. 
Saetta met More Trouble in every race in which 
she sailed, so that in sailing thirty-five starts, 
More Trouble sailed eight of her races in 
which she did not meet Saetta. 
The large table below shows the relative posi- 
tions of Saetta and More Trouble in the twenty- 
five finished races in which both boats started, 
showing also who was the winner in each of 
those races where neither More Trouble nor 
Saetta received first prize. 
The record of the two boats based on the 
races in which they sailed together is as fol- 
lows: 
More Trouble. Saetta.

[JAN. 20, 1906. 
Glenda. 
Mr. Fred. D. Lawley has been particularly suc- 
cessful in the designing of power boats of all 
types, and particularly those driven by gaso- 
lene engines, and through his courtesy we 
are able to reproduce this week one of his more 
recent designs of this type of craft. This boat 
is known as Glenda, and she was designed by Mr. 
Lawley for Mr. F. S. Eaton, of Boston, and was 
built by the George Lawley & Son Corp. of South 
Boston, Mass. 
Glenda is a powerful craft with good freeboard 
and liberal breadth. Her deck is flush with the 
exception of a low pilot house forward and such 
skylights and companionway hatches as are 
necessary to give ventilation and access below. 
The boat is steered from a small bridge and 
the pilot house will be used as main saloon. The 
pilot house is entered on the starboard side at the 
after end. On the port side aft are a few steps 
which lead to the owner’s cabin. The galley is 
just forward of the pilot house but on a differ- 
ent level. Things intended for the cabin table 
are handed through a slide by the cook to the 
steward. No time is lost in serving meals and 
this convenient arrangement will permit of great 
dispatch in the work done by the cook and stew- 
ard. The galley is 6ft. long and is very well ar- 
ranged and completely fitted. 
Next forward is the forecastle 11ft. 6in. long 
and it has comfortable accommodations for four 
men. 
The dead space under the pilot house floor is 
given over to ice-boxes, lockers and_ storage 
space for supplies. 
The pilot house is 15ft. long and 3ft. high 
above the deck, The interior finish is of mahog- 
any. Between the entrance stairs and those lead- 
ing to the owner’s cabin at the after end on the 
port side is a large sideboard with a cabinet 
above. 
The owner’s room is 12ft. 4in. long and runs 
the full width of the boat. On the starboard side 
forward is a space 4ft. long and 6ft. wide set 
aside for a private bath. Here is a foot tub, a 
set marble basin, a patent closet and a linen 
locker. In the owner’s room, which is finished 
in white enamel with mahogany trim, is a dou- 
ble bed, a large bureau, a desk, a clothes locker 
and a tile stove. A large skylight ventilates both 
this cabin and the adjoining bath. 
Aft of the owner’s room but separated from it 
by a steel bulkhead is the engine room 12ft. long. 
A steel bulkhead at the after end divides the en- 
gine space from the guests’ room. 
In the engine room there is space for two 100 
horsepower Standard engines, and on either side 
are fuel tanks, each having a capacity of 550 gal- 
lons. A companionway hatch and a ladder gives 
access to the engine space and over the engines 
is a large skylight. 
The guests’ quarters are aft of the engine space 
and they consist of two large double rooms 
separated by a toilet room and a steerage. The 
guest room is 8ft. feet long. The toilet is 4ft. 
6in. long and it can be reached from the steerage 
as well as from the two cabins. The ladies’ cabin 
aft is also 8ft. long and the equipment and finish 
are the same as in the owner’s and the guests’ 
rooms. The steerage is 6ft. long and the exten- 
sion transom on the starboard side can be turned 
into a berth at any time. 
All the deck fittings are of teak, and two boats 
are carried on davits, a launch and a dinghy. 
The small signal mast shown on the drawings is 
planted on the deck and does not extend below.
