About this book

The Yacht Club, also called The Young Boat-Builder, is by Oliver Optic. Laud Cavendish is about eighteen years old, a clerk or salesman in a store, and dressed very elegantly for a provincial city like Belfast. The narrator says Mr. Laud Cavendish was a great man in his own estimation, and a dreamy young gentleman who believed that the Fates had made a bad mistake in his case.

Nellie Patterdale laughs and says "Don John, you are a real lion" when the young boat-builder obtains a place at her side. Donald says that if he ever builds a yacht on his own account he will certainly name her the Nellie Patterdale, and the reply is "I thank you, Don John; but I hope you will never build one on your own account, then."
