BUILT IN HAMILTON.
FINE NEW LAUNCH. TO GO TO RAGLAN. The spare-time work of seven months is- represented in a fine cruising launch to which Air. R. H. Bell, of Thames Street, Claudelands, is adding the finishing touches. The launch, which was wholly designed and built by Mr. Bell, is 27 feet long, with a beam of 5 feet 0 inches, and is driven by a 20 h.p. motor, and Mr. Bell expects to obtain a speed of between 12 and 14 knots. Tlie vessel is completely and comfortably fitted for cruising, the furnishings including sleeping accommodation and cooking facilities, in fact-, it will be a floating home. It will be launched on the river within a few days, and will then be taken to Raglan by way of the river and sea. The launch is trimly built, and with its smart lines should be an acquisition to Raglan’s fleet of pleasure craft.
