A Wholesome Cruiser. 
THE design given in this issue from the board 
of Mr. Charles D. Mower shows a thoroughly 
wholesome small cruiser and it is very gratifying 
to note that this designer is turning out a type so 
well suited fo the requirements of the practical 
cruising yachtsman, 
In a general way this boat resembles the 25ft. 
knockabouts built by Lawley some years ago, but 
a decidedly improved appearance is gained by a 
refinement of the lines, especially in the over- 
hangs both forward and aft. This boat is some- 
what smaller than the Lawley knockabouts, being 
only 23ft. on the waterline and about 35ft. on 
deck, as the owner required a boat which should 
be practically a single-hander, so that the paid 
hand could be dispensed with. With her small 
rig she will be at her best in strong winds, and 
reefing will seldom be necessary. The sail is 
well inboard, with a short bowsprit for conveni- 
ence in handling the anchors. 
The cabin house is made low, so that her ap- 
pearance is not spoiled by the ungainly super- 
structure so often seen, and a large, comfortable 
cockpit is shown. 
Entrance to the cabin is unobstructed by any 
arrangement of bridge deck, and the amount of 
room below is unusual for a boat of the dimen- 
sions. The usual wide transoms are on either 
side with hanging lockers at the aft end of the

cabin and a convenient arrangement of sideboards 
and shelves at the forward end. Ample storage 
space is provided under the transoms, and in nu- 
merous lockers. The head room is sft. gin. under 
the beams, with over 6ft. under the skylight and 
companion. The galley has head room under the 
fore end of the house and is equipped with the A 
usual dish lockers, ice-chest, etc. The toilet room 3 
is on the starboard side, with a door arranged to z 
shut it off from the main cabin. Forward there ' 
is room for a pipe frame berth in case one is ever Ah - 5 a4 
required. The cabin is very simply finished in Ve “sarsthi | ci 
white pine with hardwood trimmings. et et Leon
