Her dimensions are—Length over all, 45ft; breadth of beam, 10ft ; and depth, 4ft. Her keel, stem, sternpost, gunwale, stringers, knees, and kelson, are of hardwood, and the timbers are of steamed kowhai, which is well known for its strength and durability. The boat is planked with two thicknesses of halfinch kauri pino, and is also closely battenlined from tho kelson to the gunwales with half-inch pine, and floored from stem to stem with one inch pine. She is copper and composition fastened throughout, and sheathed with 16oz Muntz metal to a two feet water lino. She is designed to pull or sail fast on a light draught of water, and has a good spring in the keel which will give her increased speed, and make her more easy to manoeuvre than if built with a straight keel. She has an iron centre-board, 9ft long with 3ft dip, which, when under canvas, will give her a draught of -sft. The boat is to be rigged with two sliding gunters, so fitted that they can ho housed in a few seconds. She has nine thwarts, and will pull 18 oars, and is also to carry two breech-loading guns, one at the bow and the other at the stern. The contract has been carried out under the inspection of Mr XV. Asher, who lies expressed himself highly satisfied with both workmanship and material. Wo understand the boat is to be launched on the 9th November.
