“YACHTING. Alterations and Repairs to Prominent Yachts. Aan nan The Work Being Done at Nyack, on the Hudson— Full Particulars of the Changos in Hulls, Rig- ging and Canvas of the Schooners Phan- tom, Madeleine and Sloop Addio V.—An- tagonists Worth Keeping in Mind, TRE ATEANTIC, HOBOKEN AND BOSTON CLUBS Nyack, April 7, 1871. Although no new yachts are building here this season the additions and alterattons that have becn made er are now m progress to well Known boats in the New York, Brooklyn and Atiantic clube are of AaMelent interest to refer to at this period. First of these Were the quite radical changes made in the SCITCONER YACHT MADELNINE, owned by Commodore Jaco’ Voorhis, Jr., of the Brooklyn Ciub, and also ® member of tie New York Club. His large aud excelient pitasure vessel in ber last year’s struggles did not whoily come up to the ex- peetations formed, and us he had teste:t her in every variety of woather, and was satisfied the original estt- mate of the boat's abilities were erroneous, he deter- mined, like a sensible yxcitman, upun the work that has been done. This consisted in lengthening her out forward, hipping her, fitting her with jonger topmasts, new rigging and sails, shortening her Dowsprit, coppermg the hull, arranging anew the plan of cabin and accommodations aud otuer detatls Of lesser interest, The indications are, it is held, that these changes have increased the speed and stability of lis yacht, whule her beauty and SYMMETRY OF MODEL are much greater, ‘Lhe audition to her length is 8 feet and to her width 8 feet, Her topmasts are 10 feet longer than the ofd ones, being now 40 feet. Her mainvoom has been nereased 4 feet and ts now 64 ieet m length, Lue bowsprit is 3 feet shorter than before, now measuring 24 ieet outboard. The hoist of the imainsau is 55 feet, maiegalr 31 feet, foregatt 23 feet, toot of foresatt 42 fect, foot of iv 63 fees. The sinalier topsail 19 Mtted to fart alolt. ‘She will have all light sails, balloon jib and square- saill—in act. & complete rackug suit before tae sea- son begins—-as Commodore Voorlis wil test his supposed improvements on every avatlable occasion In regaitas, maiehes and ehalicage cups. The Made- leine’s cabin has been thoroughly refitted, Where hard wood dnish was observauie last year panels have been prettily introduced, ava these being pamred white and the moudings about them of fold, the eitect ts exceedingly agreeabie, All the yous Im abyught, all hinges ana other deck work, before of brass, bave been nickel-plated, which helps to make the whoie deck appearance much finer than before. Lead ballast has been introduced in place of the old, and she has twenty-six tons in Posion at present, Her new rigging is of charcoal wire.
