DOLjglas Just a line to tell you the sad news. Our mutual friend Mr. George 8. Douglas died Wednesday, May 3rd in the Mountainside Hospital &t Montclair, N. J. As you know. Mr. Douglas has been ill for quite a while and in the last few months complications have set in. Of course, Mr. Douglas’ work in faithfully modelling old ships will live on for many years to come, for on the construetion and rigging of old ships of the sea he was a recognized authority. Nat only has he sailed before out the mast but he has spent ‘years searching and pouring over old records and models in libraries and muscums. This wealth of intimate knowledge which he thus gained was sincerely and painstakingly applied to everything he did. Thus his models and plans embody the touch of the master, a technique which only devotion to the subject can inspire. S.n Fr.ncisco M. y. C. The regular monthly meeting of the Sam Francisco Model Yacht Club was called to order by Com. Cartwright at 8.20 p.M. Rollcall of officers showed all present except P. W. Hurndall, Measurer.

Knowledge of conditions on the Gosport Lake has been a tremendous advantage to the British defenders. the L.M.M.Y.C. told us how much they and their companions enjoyed their visit to our lake last Sunday and invited us to return the visit soon. They also spoke of arranging an annual inter-club meet on the Sunday, nearest August 20, in commemoration of the frst inter-club meet, held last August at Lalre Merritt. Com.

CHENEY TROPHY RACES An interesting series of races will be held this season at SaugatLick, Michigan, under the auspices of the Saugatuck M.Y.C. Mr. E. L. Cheney, president of the National Organization, has donated a handsome trophy in each of three classes, – Class A, Marblehead Class, and the 42 inch class. The first official races in old boat, Oma}r, sailed by Michgelsctn, these three divisions will be held on which has nosed out Sweet’s old GOJd in Saturday, May 20. each race. Though the entries have not been as great in number as in years past the quality of sailing has been the highest we have ever experienced, and we are very optimistie. over the Club’s chances to equal last year’s racing record and I.etain championships won them. Besfon..a JJJ and Batenberg’s Ivep!time seem to be the boats most likely selected to represent this club in the eliminations at Chicago in June, but Michgelson’s E! A4la!edor is only a point behind Ivep!ttJ2e and Luce’s Prelimimry races in all classes were held on Saturday May 13, and, judging by the results, some zestful competition will be seen this summer on old Lake Saugatuck.

Please return these to Gordon Pharo as there is a waiting list for these and by keeping a plan thoughtlessly, you are pt’eventing some one else from finishing his work. Please return them at bl}rs of the club to come to his landing at ally time to try out, the Marl,leheads and hiive the use of his row .boats free. We publicly thank Mr. 0lson, for his generous invit,ation. It is such a.tions as this that will help establish model yachting in Traverse City and will make this an added sport and summer attraction for our summer guests. Such a movement as ours does not “just grow” like Topsy. It needs the backing of all members and public spirited citizens. Well, we went to Grand Rapids last Sunday. The yachts taken wel`e owned by Bill Comstock, Kent Wright, Mike Boy]e, Douglas Gameau and Bob Linsley. Other members of the club who made tlie trip were Jack Newberry, Harold alid Kent Nicholson, Eddie Chinosky, and Preston Hammond. And did we enjoy it! It certainly did us all a lot of good and we al) returned with lots of new ideas and enthusiasm. We didn’t exactly sail with them but we started with them at any rate. The course was laid out in a triangle on Reed’s lake and we all had a chance to practice before two o’clock when t.he first race started which was for Class A boats. We had a look at some fine models and although the wind all afternoon was very light and shifting still we saw what these large boats could do. At about 3.30 the Marble head class was called and our five were entered against 5 from Grand Rapids and one fl.om Saugatuck. We surely had our troubles and mostly finished last. But each one of us learned a lot and should profit by it. Once. July 8th is 1,he Cadillac Regatta where we win first brush up against the other Michigan clubs as well as yachts from Chicago, T6ledo and Detroit, and of course, the hig event for us will be on August 6th when Traverse City holds its first Annual Regatta and entertains all the model yachtsmen we can get here. We received a fine letter this week from Oren’O.lson Of Spider Lake. Mr. 0lson asked us to change our regatta date on Spider Lake from June 4th to June l8th as at that time he win have more rowboats and motor boats ready.

Commodore Sweet was there to head his club and E. L. Cheney came over from Saugatuck. We hated to have to stop visiting to race. The main things that we learned were that our boats were good, our sails could be improved but mainly we all have to get out and sail, as that was where we were beaten, I have no doubt that those G. R. boys could have traded boats with us and beaten us just as badly. We need to sail and sail, if we expect to be in the running in inter-club races. Next Sunday we win pu:, our buoys on Boar.dman Lake and will race all af.ternoon to see if we can learn to control our yachts. Then we will sail Memorial Day in the moming and the following Sunday! 7 possible. Daylight saving and the long days makes it possible to sail after supper. Most of the G.

In return the latter urged us t,o come to the Gold Bowl races in August at Saugatuck. Marblehead M. y. C. With the fil.st club serf-es well underway and the elimination races to select the defender of the Challenge Cup furnishing the closest racing in the history of the club, the Marblehead skippers are enjoying an exciting season. Our May report showed that Mahhing’s BJzte7}ase was leading in the regular club series with 141, Charlie Randall second with 139, G. Lakeman 98, Bill Harris 76, George Clive 75, John Goodwin 71 and the good old Brufus, Dexter Goodwin, 68. The rest of the fleet trail along closely and positions change from week to week. So maliy boats were entered in the Challenge Cup Eliminations the boats were divided into fleets of five, each group of five sailing three races, and two fleets sailing after the completion of the regular club racing. 6’c4/, built by C: 0.

Bill Comstock said after we got home, “If we get out and sail and get to know our boats we can beat those birds when they come up here.” And we can hit only if we get out and sail every day that it is Selmar Larsen’s Broom made the remarkable record of 27 points out of a possible 30, in the ten races she has sailed up to this writing.

The Meeting comes dul.ing our Trial Races, June 29-30, July 1-2-3L4. The Object of these races are to select a Challenger to I)e sent to England and a get-together of all Model Yachtsmen. The funds in the hands of the Treasurer are inadequate to cover these expenses at the present time. He urges that the Clubs, who have not paid their Annual dues, to try in some way to have this in the hands of the Treasurer on or I)efore July 3, 1933. Also the registrations of class A and Marblehead 50-800 are colning in very slow. The rule pertaining to this should be enforced, as no Model, nat registered, should be allowed to race in any Club event. We should stand behind the Association on this rule. Each individual member, where possible, contribute Sl.00 each to this fund. This would put it across and it seems feasible that $1.00 from each member would not be too much of a hardship. Who will be the, first to send in this Sl.00? The riesident, having served for one year, after careful thought and study, has many valuable suggestions to make in our By-Laws, which he will bring before you at this meeting. We are sailing in a new Pool in England this year, which is more open and not so tricky as Gosport. We believe we have an excellent chance to win the Cup an(i it is hoped that sufficient money will be av.alleble to send two men abroad. T+,is will require at least $700. Let us work and see if we cann.ot raise t,his amount. Entries for the Eastern Trials, June 29-30, wliich close June 15th, should be sent to the Secretary with the $3.00 entrance fee.

The series extended over a period of some five weeks during which there were some very closely contested races, which drew a large gallery of spectators. YACHTING who placed her first in two races, losing only to Jonme£. This race between the sister boats was a see-saw battle, the winner carrying through in heavier air. The wind was strong and puffy. Last, year’s Boston challerge; Tci-Ta JJ; Fred Pigeon’s new boat from the Liljegren design, and Macombers new one, were the other four starters. The finals were sailed June 18th in a series of five races between Selmart,i Larsen’s Broom a\nd Fr8\nkst,one’s Pigsticker. Happiness is not a matter of wealth, but don’t, let anybody fool you into thinking that it is a matter of poverty. Both these models are exceptiomlly fast.

Stone’s boat carries an exceptionalll high rig with battens all crowded at the peak of the sail which carries a big roach, efficient in light chances. The Larsen boat carries a conventional type of rig. Both boats are narrow, long waterline and fairly light displacement. The Stone boat is, we believe, a little heavier. Broom was sailed by Charlie Randall with “Pickle Sweet as mate. Stone was skipper and Harry Nutting mate for the Pigsticker. In the first race Broom gained a big lead,only to lose it when she payed off up the pond after being set off from the high shore. The Broom came through in the second and third races. Stone took the fourth and had a long lend in the final when his model went through exactly the same performance the Larsen boat did in the first race. Broom came along fast for her third and final win. This Broom is a\n awfully slippery boat and there should be some great sport at the Challenge Cup races, July 8th and9th.
