In our new Secretary Angell you find a character just the opposite to what you have had to endure during the the past two years. He is quite, methodical and slow to irritation.

Vol. 111 OCTOBER ANNUAL No. 8 MEETINGS 1 We wish to thank our good friend A. J. Fisher for the many favors he has showered “Model Yachting’~ with in the ‘ past few months. His latest valued in dollars worth is far more than we expected. We are ever grateful. The time has come in the progressive march of our sport wherein one-day Annual Meetings are a thing of a past indifferent era. Today new field’s of activity begin to show themselves upon the horison and we should not fail now in our effort to bring under our banner ALL branches of miniature boating. During the past year some effort was made to br·ing the power and prototype boys into the fold where they belong, but due to the limited time devoted to the Annual, this and many other important subjects could not be presented. It becomes inceasingly evident that in order to adequately transact the business of the organization that two days MUST be alloted to the conduct of the Annual Meeting. We are no longer an infant in the field of sports, and the coming two or three years will surely The September issue came off the press quite late due to our trip to Chicago that upset our schedule and also our inability to procure the customary grade of paper, which ,ve finally had to substitute for something else. We are going to contract for enough paper stock to fit our needs and avoid a repetition. ——-MODEL YACHTING, ______ Never let your schooling interfere with your educatic -Mark Twain Growing- old is no more than a bad habit which a busy man has no time to form. 2 _ We welcome to our pages Charles H. Farley former’ Editor and Publisher of Model Yachting. As a progressive and -intrepid exponant of what is best for the sport, Charlie has no peer, and th.e honesty of his convictions, plus the practicability of his ideas are always worthy of sincere and impartial analysis. We heartily recommend the reading of this article. darley 8peaks [f-£:s A one-design class of models would be a great helps provided these can be purchased at a reasonable price, where the skipper does not build himself. Several firms in the U. S. are about to produce plastic or moulded plywood hulls, plus fittings etc. to fit the M Class. We lack space to d’issertate upon the virtues of a one-design class, and beg to state that we have heard all the answers against such a class! The best argument that we can condense in a small space is, that in major yachting, one-dei:ign classes outnumber individual designs at least 20 to 1, and wouldn’t any rightthinking skipper like to see the membership of his club increased accordingly? In a few cases the answer will be “no,” as we are quite aware that “professional skippers” take the attitud’e that “too many yachts would clutter up the pond!'”‘ One of these queer characters protested, “Why, we would have 30 or 40 boats on the pond, and we couldn’t sail them off in pairs!” Why worry about “pairs,” or even uncompleted tournament? Good fun may be had sailing in3’s, 4’s, 5’s etc., and stop worroying about those petty “fouls !”1 Don’t forget that when only a halfdozen boats appear on the pond’ that this poor showing does NOT help influence park officials to permit racing, or to build or maintain suitable ponds. The more boats a club can muster, the better argument you have for getting facilities. Reserve the pair-sailing and trimmings for championship races only, and do plenty of eliminating before picking the final contenders. Make the rules simpler for the large aggregations. Too many “professional” skippers pref er to beat the ears off of small number ., In spite of the fact that the MYRAA has four recognized classes, the A, M, and 6-M, and which should cover most every taste, small membership in clubs seems general. Many clubs Charles H. Farley that had up to 75 members a few n•,:r::: ago have dropped to 15 or 20, and ;,iub::::having formerly 25 or 30 members have shrunken to a bare dozen. This is not due to the “War” but to a condition of general decay, which covers a period of several years, and began before the war even started. Mr. Coleman Green, writing in “Marine Models” recently, hit the nail on head with the observation that there arc “too many old-timers, and not (•nough young blood in the clubs.” Being al.·o an “old timer,” I agree. There i ~ constant complaint by those who can see an inch beyond their noses, about tco much competing for trophies by a r:el~ct few, and too many useless rules and regulations. There is not cnougr.. encouragement or instruction :~m- new or prospective members to allov. the sport to become really popular. \\”hen ~ sport becomes reserved for a fe, or irksome, takes up too much of 0110..:’;3 ~ime, or involves a great amount of tecnnicality, it ceases to be a pleasure for the many, and interest lags. A close c·or-poration of specialists can never develop into a nation-wide· group of enthusiasts. Room must be made for larger membership by systematic propa1-!andaand considerable reform. ·-··- 3 haps they lack ti~1e to build or sau, g·;.,tting away to mil once a month or~ Perhaps they cannot quickly grasp ~ niceties of the art of sailing. Perha they never win a race. In order to popularize the spo~ changes from present-day attitudes ar, necessary. Perhaps the following out. line may be of help. 1. Many new members must be en. 1·olled. They must be instructed and encouraged, not left to their own de. vices, or ignored. ., 2. Establish a one-design class, pre. f erably the M-class, which can com pet~ as a ~eparate class, or mixed with in. dividually designed boats. Could be built entirely by the individual, or assembled from a kit, or hull and’ othrr part:, purchased from a licensed dealer, 3. Adopt the 1 and 1 point system. 4. Hold team races among club members. Select teams so proficie11.cy in sailing is as equally divided a.s possibk Where one-designs are sailed e~tensively, swap the boats around’. 5. Coach less-skillful members on how to handle models, both in meeting and at the pondside. 6. Hold classes on the . rating and sailing rules. 7. Establish a c-ommunity workshop, where members can construct· boats under direction of experienced builders. Use someone’s home or workshop if clubhouse facilities are lacking. 8. Get a large fleet of yachts for each local race. Sail in 3’s, 4’s, 5’s, etc. instead of in twos. Cut out accid’ental “fouls.” Simplify the rules. ‘ 9. Eliminate unnecessary rating and sailing rules, especially tho~_e that cannot be enforced. ‘ 10. Rotate club officers and sailing officers by a regular schedule, and make each and every member do his part. Members, even if of the “charter” brand, who are non-co-operative, or are obstructionists should be requested to resign for the good of the sport. Consummation of the above items are possible with any club or group. The matter of nation-wid’e propaganda, news of less-talented opponents, year after year, and do not like to see newcomers on the pond. The “professionals” have a lot of influence and make a lot of noise, and it is indeed difficult to get them to see the error of their ways, which are often nothing more or less than obstructing the progress of the sport in general for their own selfish sa tisf action. Several strong clubs inthe U. S. have adopted the 1 and 1 system of scoring, and like it. There is a good chance that this system will be adopted nationally. Instead’ of 3 points for windward wins, and 2 points for leeward wins, one point is given for each leg won, and one additional point for completing the course, hence the winner receives two points for each leg won. The loser gets one point for completing the leg or course. The score-sheets look much better, ‘h’.,ith totals more closely spaced than with the anti0uated and top-heavy 3-20 system. There is greater possibility for the low scorers to eventually catch up with the leaders, especially in a series of races. Opponents of this system brand it as “false philosophy,” ~ut as n matter of fact it evens up chances, and gives the less lucky or less skillful skippers the satisfaction of scoring several points in a round’, even if they do not win a single race. Where finishes are very close, it allows credit for a well-sailed race, which the 3-2-0 system cannot cover. :Regarding the rules requiring placing of marks on A and 6-M Class, it should be noted that scarcely one skipper in the U. S. A. complies• with these rules. The idea of the rule-makers to place these marks is generally ignored, and if the reluctance of skippers to comply is taken as a vote, such rules are silly and superfluous, and should be stricken from the books. The ‘alternative is for measurers and’ officers-of-theday to demand compliance. However, if this was insisted upon, most scheduled championships would have to be postponed or abandoned! . About two-thirds of the members of your club are at a disadvantage. Per- .

The high,.,ht of the meeting was the discussion ·.h~tL resulted from the motion by the !{ht1deIsbncl Club t:iat the 1-1 system ,i ,-coring be adopted nationally in r,·r’erence to the top-heavy 3-2 method 11 ,,,,· in use. 11 Delegates from clubs that have given :ht· 1-1 system a trial were all in favor ., 1 it. Bill Post of the Forest Hills club .-itc:! l!iJ club’s experiences with both m. thoc’.s of scoring and declared that in .,o far us his club was concerned it would 111•\·ergo back to the old’ method unless (orced to do so in National events, if the nlcl method prevailed. Santos of Rhode !”land made similar declarations for his club, as did Chicago, who have been using the new system for some time. )[any of the proxies came i~structed; to \’Ote in favor of the 1-1 system. Geo. Steinbrecker, Jr., championed’ the cause of the 3-2 adherents in his characteristic tenaciousness to the very last. Steinbrecker, Sr., altho he voted as instructed, against the new scoring system, personally favored it. There was no question involved as to whether the new system would change final positions of winners by either system, -he bone of contention being that with the new system adopted, designers would henceforth have to design boats th_at were just as good’ to leeward as they were to windward. George said no b~at could be that good. George Sr., differed from that view and said that it :ould be done. Coincidentally, as designer of “Detroiter” he proceeded the following day to prove it to the ~atisfaction of all of us. 01lowi11g the u-pen discussion a roll • ecreta:ry with A!’lgell getting 10 votes to Downmg • ,s 3.

Details of these events, covering conditions, etc are not available, but will appear in the next issue. We understand, however, that they are not open events, but are limited to craft enrolled in the S. F. M. Y. C. only. In connection with this Regatta, there is also a Special Prize in the shape of a Model Airplane, which has been doated by the Hobby Shop and will be awarded to the builder of the best boat, either sail or power, which has been built by a boy under 18 years. This prize should stimulate the younger skippers to come through with a representative showing of their handicraft which may even surprise the old-timers.
