popular impression that the Iverna was going
to be a second lrex Is wrong, for in all dimen-

differ materially. Below the water line tho
Iverna is iull 10 lied, aud those who have seen
her out Of water say that while her lines
are very oasy and graceful they denote
power at oil points. The forefoot is
not cut away like the Thistle's but
comes away from the stem with pleasing
sweep to blend with the deep keel. in which
there is seventy-one and a half tons OF lead. The
stern post rakes sixty degrees, and the rudder
is very small for a boat OF her size. With her
centreboard down she will draw twenty-one
feet OF water. and with It up thirteen anG one

from the copper line. and finishes in hand
