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. Mr. Webb and Mr. Hartwell have just finished one boat for the Harvard crews at South Boston, and the Worcester boat will be known as the freshman boat, but the 'varsity crew will have the choice of boats.
