We print herewith a midship section of the Independence, showing the interior of the Boston cup defender in her widest and deepest part. Here there is not room for a man to stand up below the deck. The distance between the floor of the yacht and the deck is hardly more than a man’s height. This, however, would not be so bad if it were not for the braces and cross beams, which cut up the interior of the yacht from stem to stern. up the angles of 45 d few feet.
