fourteen years, during the last few
weeks has been in conference with
former Commodore E. D. Morgan of
the New York Yacht club, who man.
aged the Columbia in 1901, and also
with c.. Oliver Iselin, who had charge
Of the Vigilant in 1899 and the Re-
h(lance in 1903. Mr.. Iselin was in Bris-
tol last week and was closeted with
Mr.. Herreshof for more than an hour.
Yacht Design Completed.
From authoritative sources it has
been learned that Mr.. Herreshoff has
completed preliminary designs for a
1~inety-foot sloop yacht, according to
the so-called universal rule. It is said
that this yacht is an enlarged Avenger,
the boat which has been SO successful
during the past year. The Avenger
was built for Robert W. Emmons, I'd,
Of Boston and won all the principal
races in the cruise of the Eastern
Yacht club to Bar Harbor and de,
feated all her competitors in the most
Important runs of the New York Yacht
Club cruise last month, notably in the
race for the Astor cup off Newport.
The Avenger is in the fifty-seven foot
class and is looked upon as an ideal
boat, especially in light weather.
Defender Will Be Different,
The cup defender next year will be
considerably different from those of
former years. She will have less over.
all length, a reduced sail area and will
not be so deep; in fact all the extreme
features typifed in the Reliance will
be absent.
One of the features of the Gun de.
fender next year will be the great re.
ductfon in cost, not only in construc.
ton but in the management of the
boat.
