Ia IS feet over all, 90 feet on the water line and

by C. d. Mower. This yacht Is being built
at City Island. She Is only 81 feet on the
water line, is 80 feet over all. 8 feet beam

the Effort, q bronze vessel built from designs

Herreshoh's a beat Of about the same size
is being built for Commodore Clark Of the
Philadelphia Co%rinthian Yacht Club. These
Yachts are more than 90 feet on the water
line and will spread about 5000 square feet

the Clark boat at Herreshof's, which has
been named Irolita H., is built Of wood and
has q centreboard 1t has been said that the
Irolita has not been intended for racing, but
Is to be a fast cruiser. Commodore Clark
Ia a racing mar and Is fond Of the sport, and
1t has been pointed out that il he wanted
only a cruising yacht he would not have had
one with as much draught or with a centre
board as the Irolita has, The Effort will cost
about $4,000, and the Irolita's cost will be
somewhere in the neighborhood Of SIS 900.
These two sloops will furnish some fine
racing and will meet the Weetamoe and the
Nicola In their regular class.
Next in size to these two is the Gardenia.
a sloop built at Woods yard at City Island
for Alfred H. Morris. This yacht was de-
signed by William Gardner, and her price
il about $1,000.
On account Of the international character
OF the race the Sonderklasse yachts have
become very popular. These racers are
built under q rule that gives the designer
considerable latitude, but will make each
one measure about the same, The water
line length, beam and draught must not
exceed 80 feet and they spread $50 square
feet Of canvas. Sixteen Of these yachts
have been ordered. Herreshoff is building
two for F. G. Macomber and H, NJ. Sears.
