The challenger will have steel hoom 1165 feet long. The steel mast ia also made, and willbe testedon the Clyde in the preliminary trials, when good tests will be made. It may be used jn the races, though in case it proves too rigid and will not give, and is liable to pull the chain plates a wooden mast will pe used. The challenger will have a very large sail plan, quite 13, 000 feet, working sail, with nearly 85 feet from the deck to the hounds. Fife’s Fairlee ‘ carpenters are now at Chiswick making jollow spars.
