FOREST AND STREAM. [Ocr. 26, 1907. 



Sonder Boats. 
WE are indebted to The Yacht, a German pul 
lication, for the lines of the various sonder boat 
shown herewith. They are of the vintage ¢ 
1906, but very interesting to those who stud 
boats and their forms, as one can compare tk 
impression he has formed of their shape by se 
ing photographs of them or by seeing the actui 
boats themselves sailing, with their shape draw 
out to scale on flat paper. Each design hz 
chosen a different shape, and the various charac 
teristics, such as diagonals, are to the critics lik 
the handwriting of the different designers. 
Official Measurer Needed. 
THE wrangle now going on over the King 
cup race at Jamestown is another strong argi} 
ment in favor of having one official yacht mea 
urer whose ability shall be unquestionable an 
whose word shall be law. 
As it is now every club has its own measure 
more or less capable of doing the measurin 
but seldom able to get away from his busine; 
in time to measure a yacht before she has race 
half the season. Then when a question aris«| 
there is a wrangle. 
Manhasset it seems was over the class fro 
the day she was launched. What a lot of har 
feeling it would have avoided if a paid measur: 
had been on hand and put the tape on her : 
soon as she was ready to race. 
Now, after sailing many races, her fame rm 
ceives a bad coat of tarnish because she is foun) 
to exceed the limits which would entitle her | 
race in the classes she did. 
What is the use of having those classes 
boats are going to exceed them and race again 
those who comply with the rule and are fairly || 
it. Capsicum wins this cup now by Manhasset| 
disqualification if she can measure in the clas) 
which her owner says she most certainly ca| 
- The measurer has yet to prove this. | 
CARAMBA, DESIGNED BY MR. BOARDMAN. : As before stated in Forest AND STREAM | 
does seem as if there were yachtsmen and clul| 
enough interested to stand the expense of ¢| 
official measurer to whom all appeals could | 
made.

New Rochelle Boats Lose. 
TuE one-design class of the Port Washingt« 
Club, after defeating the Manhasset Bay bt 
class and the dory class of the Manhasset Bz 
Y. C. in a series of races, accepted a challens 
from the one-design class of the New Rochel 
Y. C. and sailed two races on the Sound. Boj 
of these proved conclusively that the Port Was 
ington Club has the faster boats. 
The course was from the northeast buoy c|° 
Execution to the black and red buoy off Premiu 
Point, Echo Bay, thence to the black buoy c¢; 
Delancy Point, Mamaroneck Harbor, and then). 
to the starting point. The second race was ov| 
AUK, DESIGNED BY MR. BOARDMAN. the same course reversed. Four boats of tl | 
Port Washington Club and the same number | | 
the New Rochelle Club were entered. 
In the first race Zip, of the Port Washingt«| | 
Club, finished first, while Trix, Viva and Coy), 
baby, of the same class, finished second, thi! 
and fourth, respectively. In the second race tl 
New Rochelle boats were allowed to carry the j 
spinnakers, which gave them 290 square feet |- 
canvas to 244 square feet carried by their cor| 
petitors. Even with this extra sail the be| ( 
the New Rochelle boats could do was to g 
fourth place in this race. Trix was first, Z 
second, Viva third and Cowbaby fifth. 
The Port Washington boats in the two rac 
scored 41 points, and the New Rochelle craft 
points. There may be a third race. 
The New Rochelle boats are not the old cla 
designed by L. D. Huntington, Jr., but the ne 
boats built last year for designs of Mr. R. ]j 
Haddock. They are heavy displacement, sma 
rigged, day-sailing boats.
