size, but all models hung in sections E, F and G 
conform to the club scale. 
Number of half-models 
scale, I12. 
Number of half-models yet to be reduced, 51. 
The new arrangement of models without back- 
board, and their reduction to the club scale, allows 
the sections to contain 65 to 80 per cent. more 
models than formerly. 
The financial statement will appear in the 
Treasurer's report. There is appended to this re- 
port: 
List of full-rigged models. 
List of accessions of half-models. 
List of half-models reduced to club scale. 
List of half-models to be reduced to club scale. 
List of models wanted. 
In the study of the evolution of the yacht the 
advantage to be derived from the chronological 
arrangement which the committee has adopted 
cannot be overestimated. 
Thus the Model Committee turns the collection 
over to its successors, consisting of: 
216 Lines (sets of) 
494 half-models. 
44 full-rigged models, of which seventeen are 
America Cup challengers and defenders, the 
whole being chronologically arranged, fully listed 
in detail, entered in an accession book and in a 
card catalogue, by which the fullest possible in- 
formation about any model or the yacht which it 
represents may readily be obtained.

The present Model Committee is composed of 
James D. Sparkman, Paul Eve Stevenson, Albert 
Bradlee Hunt, Orton P. Jackson, Lieut. U. S. 
Navy, Associate; Commodore Cornelius Vander- 
bilt, New York Y. C., ex-officio. 
Although the first Model Committee made re- 
markable progress in completing, rearranging 
and systematizing the collection, much remains 
to be done. The collection has now become so 
large that the work of protecting and caring for 
the models requires considerable time and means 
great expense. New half and full-rigged models 
are constantly being received and these must be 
hung or placed in glass cases. It will be some 
time before the collection is completed, but the 
model room has already become-so crowded with 
full-rigged models that it has been necessary to 
take another room in the club house in which 
steam yachts alone will be displayed. 
A Shoal Draft Cruising Launch. 
THE accompanying plans were drawn by Mr. 
Martin C. Erismann, Naval Architect, Port Rich- 
mond, Staten Island, N. Y., for Mr. N. Curry, 
Esq., of Amherst, Nova Scotia. 
The yacht is similar to Nokomis, designed by 
Mr. Erismann in 1902 for Mr. W. S. Van Clief, 
which proved such an able and serviceable 
boat. It was Mr. Curry’s intention to purchase 
Nokomis, but owing to the high tariff incident to 
importing the boat, it was decided to build in 
Nova Scotia. 
Mr. Curry during the summer of 1905 spent one 
day aboard Nokomis in. New York Bay, and upon 
his decision to build placed the order with Mr. 
Erismann with a memoranda of the changes he 
desired, which included a foot more breadth, a 
central passageway amidships forward, and the 
raising of the pilot house floor 12in. ‘It seems to 
be the ideal way in which to design a vessel-of 
any type, and instead of attempting a new propo- 
sition in its entirety to develop a successful boat 
further; and, indeed, from the plans we see a 
great improvement over Nokomis. 
The outboard profile shows a greater length 
over all, with ends carried out beatitifully and 
fairly, and with .perfect: balance. The boat,’ in 
fact, shows the’ designer-to be a close student of 
the Clyde daughtsmen that, we may regretfully 
say, have been lessened by one, by the death of 
George Lenox Watson. 
It is regrettable that with a boat of this type 
something cannot be done to absorb the promi- 
nence of the trunk, but it seems impossible, 
though when built it will not be as high nor seem 
as objectionable as in the drawings. Its dark 
color minimizes its proportion and the white top- 
side and gilt moulding effectually hold the eye. 
The spars and stack are well placed, and the 
yacht, when in motion or at anchor, will have a 
particularly pleasing appearance. 
The yacht is, as called for in the specification 
in connection with the plans, complete in every 
detail, and is to be built in the best manner and 
with the best materials obtainable. The keel is to 
be of oak as well as the framing, deck beams, 
stem, sternpost, etc. The longitudinals, such as 
clamps, stringers, keelsons, etc., are of yellow 
pine, and the planking of British Columbia cedar. 
The yacht is to be fastened throughout with 
copper bolts, nails and brass screws. 
Great care has been taken to insure the gaso- 
lene tank installation against leakage or damage. 
As the service of the yacht is to be in the waters 
of Northumberland Strait, a beautiful sheet of 
water about 200 miles long, with the only objec- 
tion of being shallow and causing the yacht to 
take the ground at certain stages of the tide on 
the anchorage, the construction was made slightly 
heavier than otherwise. 
The accommodation of the yacht will, for a 
boat of her type, be ample and convenient. The 
joiner work below is to be of mahogany paneling 
throughout. The deck aft is about 16ft. long 
from which and through the main companionway 
one lands in the main saloon. The transoms on 
the sides may be converted into berths. ~The 
saloon is 6ft. 6in. long by 12ft. wide and is fitted 
with convenient lockers, silver, glass and wine 
closets, and a large dining table to seat ten per- 
sons will be carried. 
Forward of the main saloon will be situated the 
engine room, if which will be fitted two Standard 
25 horsepower motors, which, under favorable 
conditions, will drive the boat at a speed of 12 
miles an hour, a truly wonderful result for the 
work of 50 horsepower driving a boat over Soft. 
long. The engines are located well under the 
floor and will be out of the way; the cylinders 
and reversing lever only protruding above. On 
either side of the engines are located transoms, 
one of which will contain the batteries for the 
plant, and the other will be the tool locker. Two 
hanging closets will give sufficient room for the 
stowage of the crew’s clothes. 
Forward of the engine reom on‘starboard side 
is located the crew’s toilet and wash room, and 
immediately forward of this the owner’s toilet. 
Unlike Nokomis, this yacht will not be fitted with 
a bath tub, as in summer the shallow waters of 
the Strait are quite warm and the bottom white 
sand, and it is very seldom that one cannot go 
overboard. The arrangement of plumbing simpli- 
fies the piping and brings it all to one point, and 
it can be reasonably kept in good order. A door 
from the owner’s toilet opens directly into the 
passageway, and also a door into the owner’s 
stateroom, situated immediately forward on the 
starboard side. This stateroom is fitted with a 
double berth, drawers under, and a dressing table. 
Forward of the engine room on the port side is 
located the galley, fitted with coal or wood-burn- 
ing stove, sink, pump from -water. tank, and an 
ice-box of 300 pounds capacaity. Dish racks and 
folding tables are fitted, and there is ample elbow 
room for the cook to work. Forward of’ the 
galley on the same side is located a stateroom 
with two berths, suitable clothes. lockers, and 
privacy is insured for two guests, which, in such 
a.yacht, is not often assured. 
Forward of the owner’s and guests’ stateroom 
is sitttated a saloon, which at night can make up 
two’ berths, with two serving tables against the 
bulkhead aft. This room could be converted into 
a breakfast room by the fitting of a small folding 
table. Forward of the saloon or breakfast room 
is the pilot house, .fitted with sofas on each side 
and lockers underneath. At the forward:end is | 
located the steering gear, call bells, etc., to the 
engine room. Under the deck forward of the 
pilot house and separated from it by a water-tight 
bulkhead is the gasolene tank, to drain overboard.
