The Newest Sailing vessel.

very few patents are taken out on
the rig OF sailing vessels for the reason
that most Of the improvements have
been thought out. Sailors are likewise
very conservative and opposed TO new
tangled devices.
Here, however, is a newly-devised
vessel, with radical and novel i'm
proVements both above and below the
water line. The various devices have
been patented by Mr.. William King or
New Orleans. Under his plan the sta
bllity of the vessel is increased by pro-
viding II with telescope centerboard.
which consists of a main centerboard
within which is a double centerboard,
an amidship centerboard carried by the
double centerboard, a port and star
board centerboard respectively carried
on each side of the double centerboard,
and within the main centerboard.
The spar plan and sail plan are also
formed so that they may be enlarged
or decreased at pleasure This is ac-
complished by providing the spinnaker
booms, and the gaffs OF the mainsail
and OF the spinnakers with auxiliary
spars, sliding within suitable rings or
sockets which are fixed near the ends
or said gaffs and booms.
These spars are adjusted by means
or halyards and blocks. and can be
reefed home or run out as desired.
and a larger or smaller amount OF
canvas carried. Two spinnakers are
used, and the booms are pivotally
mounted on suitable steps which are
placed one on each bow OF the vessel.
The spinnakers are not hoisted to the
topmast, as is usually done, but arc
