Next Monday, George Webb, the Worcester boat builder, will begin work upon a new shell for the Harvard eight, which is a radical departure from ordinary eight-oared shells in that it will be a round, full boat, carrying her lines to the extreme length of stem and stern. Mr. Webb intends to build from designs approved by Coach Watson, a boat that will weigh not more than two hundred pounds, and will carry 1350 pounds. It will be of Spanish cedar and 63 feet long, with a beam of 22 inches and an extreme depth of 13.25 inches. All the braces will be of cold drawn steel tube. The rigging will be Kern's.
