round to Gosport to have extensive cabin altera- 
tions made, but she has been handicapped so long, 
owing to the lowness of the water, that there is 
not time for this before the Clyde fortnight 
opens. 
Mr. Robert Young’s new cutter Nyria was 
launched from Camper & Nicholson’s yard at 
Gosport on April 10. She is composite built, hav- 
ing steel frames and teak planking, is 117ft. over 
all, just over 20ft. breadth and draws 13ft. of 
water. She is stated to be a shapely looking craft, 
is 166 Thames tons and will carry a sail plan of 
8.300 sq. ft. It will be very interesting to see 
what a boat of her comparatively heavy build— 
she is classed 20A at Lloyds—will do against a 
pure racer like Kariad on the ordinary Y. R. A. 
time allowance. There should be some close 
fights between Nyria and White Heather, if the 
former turns out a success, as they are both built 
under the same rule of measurement and both 
classed at Lloyds. One thing is clear and that 
is that Nyria will not be able to give anything 
away in helmsmanship or general handling, for 
White Heather’s skipper, Charles Bevis, is one 
of the smartest men going; he keeps his crew 
together splendidly and is always ready to profit 
by the mistakes of others in a race. 
Kinc ALFONSO AND THE R. Y. S.—The King of 
Spain has been unanimously elected a member of 
the Royal Yacht Squadron on the proposal of the 
commodore, the Marquis of Ormonde, seconded 
by the vice-commodore, the Duke of Leeds, and 
on his arrival at Cowes on April 17 he was 
duly informed of the fact by the secretary, Mr. 
Te Se'Pasiey, Ro W. 
Tue Bons.—There are still persistent rumors 
about Bona being on the point of being sold, and 
the latest is that a German gentleman has bought 
her and intends to fit her out forthwith for 
racing. She would be a valuable enough addition 
to our first class, and would be sure to take part 
in some of our regattas. KELLY. 
Sonderklasse Boat. 
Ir is interesting at this time to see the lines 
and sail plan of a Sonderklasse boat, perhaps the 
most moderate boat of all those being built in 
various yards. 
The design is from the office of Mr. B. B. 
Crowninshield and is a well turned boat, being 
4in. wider and sin. deeper than the Uncle Sam, 
also designed by Mr. Crowninshield—that was 
sent to Germany five years ago, and that has had 
a successful career in this popular German class. 
The boat is under construction by Graves at 
Marblehead, and is for Mr. Francis Skinner, Jr., 
owner of the fine schooner Constellation. Mr. 
Crowninshield will handle the boat in the races. 
The new Sonderklasse boat is a light weather 
craft and of very narrow breadth, being similar 
in type to the Newport 30-footers, that possess 
very little initial stability and depend on long, 
straight lines for their speed and a high ratio 
of lead ballast to keep them upright and give them 
the necessary stiffness.

_That this boat is so moderate both in form and 
dimensions, as compared with Uncle Sam, indi- 
cates the conviction of her designer that a rea- 
sonable boat has an opportunity to win. There is 
no doubt that things are being carried a little far 
in the dimensions. The form considered for 
measurement, and that on which the boat sails, 
are two different things, This, of course, be- 
longs to the rule, and all credit should be given 
to the designers for their originality in evolving 
these peculiarly formed boats. 
We are able, by courtesy of Mr. Crowninshield, 
to publish the following interesting data:
