BUSY AT BOAT YARDS. 
Pleasure Yachts and Racers in Course of 
Construction at Manchester. 
Business at the Manchester boat 
yards is rushing, there being at the 
present time no less than five boats in 
course of construction, including the 
Seawanhaka cup boat, a 50 horse- 
power pleasure yacht for Guy Norman, 
at Fenton’s and a 12 horse-power mo- 
tor boat racer for Norman Greeley at 
White’s. 
The Seawanhaka cup boat started 
at the David Fenton Company’s yard 
last week for A. H. Higginson is to 
be 39 feet over all, 26 feet lower water 
line and 8 feet 8 inches beam. The 
boat is to be built of very best material 
and equipped with best appointments 
for racing purposes. 
The general outline of the boat is 
long, narrow and flat, only about 18 
inches deep, with flitter on the bottom 
and with quicker bilges. She will be 
built so as to carry her weight more 
forward and aft than did the other 
Seawanhaka boat. She will carry 
tremendous sail. Her mast will be 
27 ft. 6in. high; boom 23 ft. 2 in.; 
peak 13 ft. 5 in. The deck is to be 
planked diagonally with two thick- 
nessess of 3-16 white pine, covered 
with light seamless cotton cloth. 
Mr. Norman’s pleasure yacht, which 
will be called ‘The Limit,” and will 
hail from Newport, is very nearly 
completed. Two Standard gasoline 
engines of 25 h.p. each have been in- 
stalled the past week and the finishing 
up part of the work is now being done. 
The boat is of a rather peculiar 
shape, 72 ft. long, 60 ft. water line, 
15 ft. extreme beam and 8 ft. deep, 
gunwale to rabbet, with a sharp stern. 
She is designed for pleasure, rather 
than for speed, though she will un- 
doubtedly be set at a fast clip when 
her sails are spread together with the 
power from her 50 h.p. engines. 
The boat is being built in first-class 
manner in every respect. Arthur Bin- 
ney is the naval architect. The deck 
is to be of white pine, matched, cov- 
ered with duck, laid over a coat of 
crude Cee The cabin is to be 
in mahogany finish. Ascetyline gas . 
will furnish light. 
At White’s boat-yard in Manchester 
- is being built for Norman Greely of 
Boston and Beverly Cove a 12-horse 
power motor boat to be used for racing 
this summer. She is of the latest 
racing type, similar in design to S. 
Parker Bremer s18cv elthta,2vasoue 
will be built of mahogany throughout, 
with nickel trimmings. Her stern is 
rather striking in appearance, being 
between a turtle and torpedo. She is 
to be equipped witha three cylinder 
Essex engine of 4h.p.each. Norman 
L. Skene is the architect. 
Work is also being rushed on two 
sister 18-foot knockabouts for F. W. 
Denton to be raced in Lake Michigan 
waters this summer. The boats are 
of Crowninshield’s design. They are 
to be shipped to Michigan by April 15. 
Joshua Crane, jr’s, 21-foot racer is 
practically completed. She is to be 
sailed in Buzzard’s Bay during the 
racing season. 
County Convention of Endeavorers. 
Lynn Endeavorers are looking for- 
ward with great interest to the next 
annual County Convention which is to 
be held in Lynn, April 19th. 
The first Congregational church, 
centrally located on the corner of 
South Common and Vine streets, has 
generously offered the use of its entire 
edifice for the convention. Not only 
the auditorium with its seating capa- 
city of 1,000, but the chapel and three 
committee rooms will be at the dis- 
posal of the endeavorers. 
It has been thought best that meals, 
including dinner and supper, be served 
outside the regular meeting place of 
the convention. 
Other churches have offered the 
use of their rooms for this purpose. 
The most able speakers will be secured 
and the committee feel confident that 
it will be the largest and strongest 
convention ever held in the county.
