HAY IS BUILDING
PACIFIC RACER

c. D. Callahan, the yacht designer
of San Pedro is heard from with re.
gard to the new transpacific racer that
is being built to his design. Francis
Hay, the owner of the new boat, is
one of the keenest of the younger set
of yachtsmen in the South Coast Yacht
Club. 1t is to be hoped that he ar
ranges to make trip here with "Com-
modore' Day, of the Rudder, as sug-
gested in Mr.. Callahan IS letter. The
latter is as follows
"The South Coast is under full
head of sail now and is on true
course for prosperity. We are out of
debt and have big plans for the future.
Old Stinson Jarvis is assistant secre-
tary and does all the clerical work and
also is steward at the club house. We
expect a very good year and expect to
bring home the San Diego Upton Cup
and the Corinthian Cup
''Joe Pugh has just built Gardner
boat that is an extreme rule boat,
similar to Seneca and Dorello, and she
looks good. Is sixty feet on deck and
appears to sail some. Beat Mischief
IL. about thirty-five minutes from Ava
Ion to breakwater and sailed circles
around Detroit. You can judge for
yourself She will leave in few days
for Frisco to sail for Corinthian Cup.
"The boat that L am building is
for Frank Hay and, while not large,
will be some class. She is fifty feet
on deck, thirty-eight on water line,
thirteen feet beam and eight feet draft.
Yawl rugged and will carry about 1900
feet sail. Will be rugged with housing
topmast and carry topsails and jib top
sails. She is an extreme cruiser and
is being built in the best possible man
ner after most efficient methods to be
as strong as possible. Hay wants some
thing that will stand the hardest graft
that he can expect on the Pacific
Ocean, and wants a splendid finish
also. She will be flush decked and
will, to a certain extent, resemble the
Hawaii. The Hawaii is as much like
her in general as any boat that i know.
Come to think about it, she will be
very much like the Hawaii both above
water and in her cabin arrangements
and in her transverse section of the
hull, but her keel shows no hollow.
''She has conventional saloon
amidships about ten feet long and q
lobby opening to the deck aft of this
and an after private stateroom still
further aft. The galley is large anc
frward is roomy forecastle. We have
not decided on the wood for the interior
Joiner work, which will be plain anC
serviceable, but very finely done re
gardless of expense, but l think thai
we will use bird 's-eye maple in the pri
vate stateroom and finish the lobby
and saloon in selected teak. This vii
very serviceable and will match the de
sign of the paneling. She will b.
lighted with acetylene gas, with PLATED
y fixtures. Her stoves win be a Shipmat'
and an alcohol three. burner and fire
less cooker. Sands will furnish thu
plumbing and it will be the best. He
upholstering will be the finest we cal
secure here and will match the joiner
work. We will install Nicholson LoI
and in fact intend to make her a
splendid as we can and an example Z

work on deck win be teak and tn
deck will be white pine. She will hav

know how to make and she will carr,
