| What C. F. Brown of Pulpit Harb ,r has
dome the past year.
| The Journal has frequently made mention
of c. F. Brown, the boatbuilder of Pulpit
Harbor, and can testify from personal ac-
quaintance that he is a hustler and knows
how to sail as well as build boat. He re-
Gently furnished the Rockland COurier-Ga-
zette with a summary of what he has done
! somewhat, as follows:
| About year ago launched the schooner
| WinnebagO for C. E. Gibson of Boston, She
was designed by Crowinshield and her d.
mansions were: over all, 80 feet; water line,
| IS feet beam, IA feet; draught feet She
had a good sized cockpit and cabin, two
staterooms, toilet room, galley accOmOda-
ton for crew., etc Most of the finish was of
mahogany. The hinges, knobs, catches, ETC.,
were of polished brass, and all fittings and
furnishings were first class.
In June launched the Theresa for E. L.
Davis of Beverly Farms. She was designed
| by Crownishield and was the usual type of

We're $500 pounds of lead on the keel and the
sail area was 500 square feet.

from the aeame plans, for Rev. Leighton
| Parks of Emmanuel Episcopal church, BOs-

where DR.. Parks has summer residence.
| Later in the month built for my own use
a small gasoline launch % feet in length and
feet beam, equipped witha horse power
Lamb engine, then made in Portland, but
now built by the Camden Anchor ROckiand
Machine Co., at ROckland. This little gas
oline launch has repeatedly made nine miles
| an hour.
In September 1 began rebuilding yacht
owned by DR.. Frederick c. Shuttuck of Bos-
| ton. All the inside work was torn out and
entirely rearranged. The yacht now has
| good sized cockpit and cabin, toilet room
and galley, and will be fitted and furnished
in first class style She has been equipped
with 10hOrSe power Lamb gasoline engine

building over a small yacht, and both yachts
| will be used at lSleSboro where the brothers
| have summer homes.
We have built sloop yacht for J. Murray
| Forbes of Milton, Mass. Her dimensions
are 40 feet over all, 25 feet water line, 10 feet
beam, ! feet draught, 300 pounds iron keel
and sail area of 1000 square feet She is of
my own design and has the usual accom-
modatons of boat her size. She will be
used at lslesboro next summer.
| A boat of the conventional raceabout type
is under construction for c. F. Ames of
Rochester, n. Y. She will be completed
about April 10 and shipped to Rochester
from Rockland by rail. Mr. Ames is a men,
Der of the Lake Yacht Racing Association
and will race the boat next season under the
| rules of the club. This boat is also of my
own design, and as they are not restricted
as to sail area, she will carry fully 700 square
| feet instead of the 500 OF 600 used here in the
east. She has a hollow mast. Edison steerer,
etc, and her finish is Of mahogany.
We are also building raceabout for
George and Harry Shattuck, sons of the

OF his very latest up-to-date designs and
expected to be very fast. She is planked
withmahogany. Her dimensions are 81 feet
over all, Il feet water line, s feet beam and
feet draught The lead keel weighs $500
pounds and the sail area is $50 square feet.
| She will have hollow mast, Wilson & Sils-
by sails, and everything about her will be
| flrst class. The work on her is done by the
| day. She will be raced at 1slesboro the
coming summer, and as they already have
some very fast yachts of this class, and sew
| eral new ones are being built, there will
most likely be fine sport there next season.

er boat, SO this launch is for sale We are
now making model for the larger launch
