Design for a Racing Sloop. 
WE reproduce in this issue the plans of a racing 
sloop that was designed by Mr. Charles D. 
Mower for Mr. Charles L. Wahl, of Wiborg, 
Finland. The boat will be built and raced in 
Finland but will have American made sails. 
The design shows a particularly well turned 
boat of handsome appearance, in this latter re- 
spect she surpasses any of this clever designer’s 
earlier work, Her form indicates that she will 
not only prove speedy but a good sea boat as well, 
and one that would be easily handled under all 
conditions. 
In local waters a boat from this design would 
come within the 15ft. class S with a few minor 
changes. 
The lines show relative lengths of L as meas- 
ured originally under the New York Y. C. rule, 
i. e., mean of waterline and over all lengths on 
quarter beam and in the manner now adopted, 
i. e., ten per cent. of the waterline beam above 
the waterline. The points of measurement al- 
most correspond forward, while aft the new 
measurement is a little shorter. 
The dimensions which follow have been worked 
out in both meters and feet:

BAGLEY TROPHY FOR I6FT. CLASS.—To encour- 
age small boat racing among the sailors of the 
Country Club and the vicinity of Detroit, Mr. 
Paul F. Bagley presented in 1905 a beautiful 
trophy to be raced for by yachts of the 16ft. class 
of the Inter-Lake Yachting Association. The 
trophy for 1905 was won by the Country Club 
syndicate yacht Shake. The cup was presented 
to the Country Club by the syndicate to become 
the permanent property of the club and to be 
known as the Bagley Trophy for the 16ft. class. 
Hereafter the name of the yacht winning each 
annual series of races will be inscribed on this 
trophy together with the name of the owner and 
of the club in which the yacht is enrolled. As 
originally intended the winning yacht will be 
awarded the annual souvenir trophy. Any yacht 
enrolled in a recognized yacht club of the Great 
Lakes, manned by Corinthian sailors and eligible 
to race in the 16ft. class of the Inter-Lake Yacht- 
ing Association may race for this trophy, pro-
