The dimensions are: length, 63 feet; beam, 23 inches; depth, 9 5-8 inches; bow, 7 inches; stern, 6 1-2 inches. The shell resembles that built by Davy for the winning crew in 1899, but has several new features. The stern is to be deeper than usual, so that no fin is needed and the keel will be made very rigid by means of trusses supported by brass bolts. Hollow steel out-riggers which are much...
