which are so common In Eastern waters. The
lapstreak boats are built with alternate 'strakes'

the added security against leaking af-

use in New-York waters are mostly keel boats,
although for smooth-water use and In many Of
the bays and small harbors of the Long Island
coast and the Hudson River they are made
with fat bottoms and have both ends nearly
square. the chief advantage from this method
OF construction being a large carrying capacity
