Farley. Great minds seem to be running m the same channels regarding necessary changes. to ot llt Time Now Ripe for House Cleaning ~!ti ~1 by N_at’l Pres. H. H. Howeler Model yachting has taken a beating ;; Juring the past few years. Memb~rships have dropped and many clubs have 1• ceased to exist. This situation is not ~eentirely due to the war. Even before ) the war there was a steady decline in the number of people participating in the sport. It is obvious that model yacht, ing cannot exist unless we care enough to do something. Doing something means increasing club memberships and en, 1 couraging the organi:ation of new clubs. There are a few short sighted indi, viduals among us who don’t want a large number of· participants “clutter, ing up” the sailing pond. There are those who :fight change because it has not been done that way before.” These people we can and must do without. On the other hand, we have among our members a great majority of fine sportsmen-~en who appreciate the beauty of a well designed yacht. Men who spend many hours attemptin·g to develop faster hulls and more efficient gear. Men who sail their yachts for all they are worth, who en joy the ..·om, petition and the sailing. W1nning is an additional pleasure. With these men we have a nucleus upon which to huild. However, in order to build we must first find out why membersh1ps…drop and why clubs fold up. Something is sour ‘>Orneplace. While we look forward to the one design class becoming a reality with the hope of its being· a rneans of building up interest 1 that alone will not accomplish results. There are hundreds of models stored away in basements. What of their skippers? Why-·did they quit sailing? • I don’t know all the answers, but I can name some of our ills. Our sailing rules are obstructive, not constructiv~. The fact that we sail only two boats at a time discourages large entries. We must discontinue that practice as quickly as our membership warrant. We must alter our rules regarding fouls. At pre, sent those rules encourage those few individuals who use every means within the law-or bordering upon it-to take advantage of their opponents-sports, manship be damned! We must revise a scoring system that inflates the egos of a few and makes monkeys out of many. Our days of racing must not be spoiled by a few garrulous gentlemen (loud • mouths, in plain American slang), whom we should not even tolerate at the pond. Our club meetings must. be evenings of intelligent discussion, not evenings of .argument with everyone going home angry. All of you have thought, if this or that were done, it would improve model yacht racing, either within your own clubs, or within the divisional or national organization. Put your thoughts on paper and send them to me-and I mean all of you-don’t wait for the other fel, low to do it. Many heads are always better than one, and by pooling ou!:’ ideas (which we will publish) all clubs can use your suggestions in planning ., intelligent, constructive programs. Through these suggestions your officers will also know what you want and can proceed accordingly. Only by every one of us realizing jt1st how serious the situation is and by every one of us taking an active part in correcting the situation, can model yachting exist as one of the greatest sports there is. This is no time for petty, personal grievences, but for cooperative endeavor toward our goal. officers were the unanimous choice of the Club, they can be sure of the cooperation As we approach the end of the racing of all the members. Following is a list of the newly officers: for 1947 all of us here in Long IslanJ Commodore James Fulton look back on the summer with real gratifi.cation and pleasure.

It attracted quite a number of entrants with the “M”s carrying away the prizes. After the races the contestants gathered around asking question about the winning boats, and F. J. S. who hates to miss an opportunity, suddenly had a “brain-storm”. He sat down on the grass and asked the others to do likewise. When he had them comfortably seated he exponderl the beauties and recreative aspect’> of miniature yacht sailing-cited’ the activities of the 172 clubs thruout the U. S. (the liar) and the fun they would have visiting these diff crent club.,. The idea clicked and right there and then, sitting on the grass, the new R. I. Miniature Yacht Club came into being. Officers were elected and steps were taken to scout around and establish ,1 strangle hold upon anyone inten,sted in the sport. This method brought a number of fellows that bad built boat’3 to the “M” rating but had never been in competition. From that time on the club had a healthy and continued growth, and the following summer counted in its roster 21 members. The war effort opened new areas to many of our members who have established residence in those sections, and altho we hear from the majority of them quite regularly, we miss their actual presence at the pool. The Rhode Island Miniature Yacht Club is too young to have a history, and in all probability never will, as it is more a one big family affair than a so called club. Sure, we have some darn heated arguments during the meetings that have been held continuously every month form the very beginning, summer and winter, but when a decision is reached everything is forgotten that :smaks of ill feeling and everybody adjourns to a light lunch, thanks to the ‘sempre fl.delis” ladies of the club. Tne organizers of the present club little dreamed when they gave oirth to this energetic young;.;t~r that th1…:ywere resuscitating something that had been long dead. The amusing part of it all was that none of the present enthusiasts had ever heard that a club ever existed in Rhode Island before. Even the selection of a club name was coincidental. The organizer of the new club had for some years visited Bo3ton and Worcester pools, and as did John Black, considered the word “model” as applied to the craft we sail a misnomer as they are· not by any stretch of the imagination a prototypes of a modern ( or ancient) yacht. However let’s get along with the history. • John Black, one of the most distingui::hed figures of our sport, decided in the year 1928 that things were not to hi.s liking at the Boston club. So he migrated to Providence week-ends and organized the Rhode Island Miniature Yacht Club with a few friends. Among them was Prof. Bliss of Brown University whom has served as Harold Vanderbilts navigator in all of his international yacht races. That same year John, as representative of the R. I. club, won the National “AH Championship at Boston with Bostonia III. In 1930 and 1931 with Bostonia IV, and in 1932 with Bostonia V. The records show that there were very few local races and these were held in the sheltered waters of the bay. In 1933 John became affliated with the Marblehead club and the R. I. club became inactive and finally passed out of the picture. A decisive argument why the author dislikes “one-man” dominated clubs. ·ot until 1939 did model yachting rear its ugly head in the land of the pious Roger Williams. F. J. S. (the nut) used to sail his “M” Saturdays and Sundays at Roger Williams Parksometimes two boats at a time with no matC-!-just to give himself some competition.

Similar craft were demonstrated at the Power Boat Meet in San Francisco by club member Ed. DeGear. This newly inaugurated annual event, of which announcement was made in the last issue, was promoted by the sponsors with an unusual amount of advance publicity. Though the day was partly overcast with some high fog and there had been a slight drizzle the night before and the Weather Bureau indicated the possibility of some further dampness, yet in spite of adverse prospects, the event drew the largest crowd ever seen at Spreckles Lake. The broadwalks and lawns were crowed with several thousand spectators and the interset shown, particularly in the speed boat trials and the performance of the ,;.arious prot~_type power boats was very marke~l. for Lyle Stevens however to find th~ most favor with the judges who awarded him the second cup for the fine perfor, mance of his gas purse seiner, PACIFIC ST AR which always makes a hit with the spectators by towing .its small skiff behind it.

POWER EVENTS ·This observer counted some eight or more speedsters of Classes A, B, C and D; these· were the . entries of members H. C. Free, Ed.; DeGear, F. W. MacKay, Ken Brenneman and Fred Brasch. All were gas powered except the boat of Fred Brasch, which has a steam plant and was said to be 17 years old and was capable of an 18 mile an hour gait. The winner in this class was Ken Brenneman ‘s DAMFINO, which was clocked with an average of 57 miles plus per hour, though it probably hit nearer t’SO in the spurts. Among the prototypes Heine Free was again in there with his big 6 foot ocean going tug, CONSUL TOR II, Virgil 10 SAILING EVENTS A very light· wind prevailed, at times dying to a flat calm and what we had was mostly a drifting match.

Says, he, ‘.We have never seen anything like it. • With a small spinnaker, she very nearly flew, and sailed so steady and true;· no rolling or yawing and carried full sail. ….. . There were ·nine• boats sailing. Won every race before the wind. Did not have her set right to, windward and lost two heats . •….. • .she was too fast for me to follow so my son had to take over and had to run hard to keep up with her . •…….. displaced 17 pounds.’ George did it. ; learned a page of :model yachting ideology by pargmatic 11 11 ‘I method. To men, \.vho, like E. L. Dunn (Model Yachting, Sept.) wish to delve into the science of our sport, a personal repitition of George’s experience is suggested. Better yet, build and sail one of each of the two Sun-Kisses and learn the world of difference in performances the design of keels can make. The exp\’.’.rience will be classic and, taken to heart, it will stop following the run-around of ideas. Am quoting E. L. : “What is the secret of this boats supremacy. That is the question that we would like answered, and it is the model yachtsman and parti, cularly the designer that can elevate his hobby to its rightful position in the world of scientific endeavour by con, tributing a careful analysis of his design and yacht’s performance.” After the -principles of balance are made one’s own, the hull forms come next; the reverse order leads one to a ~err)’.’,go,round.

On the 22nd rain greeted the contests but 01′ Sol came to the rescue. The 23rd’ was excellent with 24th, 25th and 26th following suite. Very large crowds watched the races and the loud speakers kept them posted on the scores and other items of interest. 125 officials, competitors and friends , including the Mayor of Fleetwood enjoyed the excellent dinner after Friday’s racing.
