Her mainmast is 75 feet long, 68 feet of it being from deck to cap. The foremast is 72 feet long. The topmasts are 21 feet, with 5-foot pole. They are made sliding, and can be lowered and raised from the deck, a "tumbling fid" being used to secure each one, and a tripping line to handle it. The bowsprit outboard is 20 feet; jibboon, 24i feet. "When first rigged the Lurline had a Bennudian mainsail with a 50-foot boom. The fore boom was 2J6 feet with a 22-foot gaff. The mainsail was 47 feet on the boom, 55 feet 6 inches hoist, with 64 feet 11 inches leech, making an area of 1,424 square feet. Since then a new mainboom has been rigged 52 feet in length and with a 22-foot gaff. The new gaff mainsail is 48 feet 3 inches on the foot, 50 feet"6 inches hoist, 62 feet 5 inches in the after leech, 20 feet 3 inches on the head and contains an area of 1,854 square feet or 430 feet more than the old Ber- mudian sail. The foresail is 25 feet 6 inches on the boom and has an area of 1,192 square feet. The jib is 3S feet 10 inches on the foot and has an area of 960 square feet. The flying jib has an area of 495 square feet, the staysail of 81S square feet, and the new gaff topsail, which has been substi- tuted for the old ringtail, of 640 square feet, making a total area of sail of 6,009 square feet. These figures look rather small but
