New Yacht Design by W G Jameson Features Hollow Mast Exhaust
New York owner W G Jameson commissions designer Fife to build a forty ton shallow draft motor schooner with many original features.

The mast appears as a traditional spar but is in fact a steel tube sheathed in yellow pine, combining old world shape with modern construction.
