This is our seventh number and The Model Yachtsman has now been in existence over half a year! Almost every post brings us letters of good wishes and appreciation from readers, and even if the Editor cannot find time to answer each and every one personally, may we say that we very much appreciate them. It is indeed an encouragement to further effort. We have also to thank our readers for their support and the way they have advertised our paper amongst their friends. We have now reached the point when our circulation has increased until our expenses and takings practically balance. We have still the leeway of the first few months to make up and then with a little further increase in the numter of our readers, we shall be in a position to consider adding four more pages and giving an increased number of illustrations. Naturally also our advertisements are proving an increasing source of revenue. One thing that we have been frequently congratulated upon is that we have kept our front cover clear of advertisement. We consider that this lends dignity to our magazine and have no intention of deviating from this policy. Readers have sent us suggestions for articles. Some of these we have already taken, others have been precluded by considerations of space. The racing season is now more or less over, however, and in consequence we have more space for general matter. The winter is the time also for new construction and with the present number we start a series of articles on building, entitled “The Birth of the Twins.”’ We are often asked for Tables of Offsets for the designs we publish. In our experience measurements can be given to a hundredth of an inch but it is a very different thing to lay out a design from them. We, ourselves, find it better and more accurate to work to a plan. There is no difficulty in this with plans on a big scale such as we publish. All that is needed is a pair of dividers and if the plan, for instance, is a quarter of full size, measure off four times with the dividers. In addition to the series of articles on building mentioned above, we have several good articles in store for readers so that we hope to keep their interest alive, and give them something to read and think about during the winter months ahead. We had the pleasure of meeting a number of our readers during the recent M.E. Exhibition, and we were astonished to find the widespread interest in Clipper Ship models. we are making Under the circumstances arrangements demand and we hope announcement shortly. to to cater for this make an interesting Historical models will also receive a share of our We also have in view a page for juniors. attention. THe Eprror. 94, The Model Yachtsman. THE MODEL ENGINEER The M.E. Exhibition this year was held from September 15 to 22 inclusive in the Royal Horticultural Hall, Westminster, and may be considered one of the best exhibitions of its kind that has ever been held. It is not our intention in this magazine to dilate on locomotives, flying machines or many of the other fierce and wonderful machines that gladden the eyes of the mechanical minded. Our readers are boat-enthusiasts and we shall confine ourselves to the marine section of the exhibition. To this we make one exception in that we must make mention of Eric the Robot. ERIC THE ROBOT. As his picture has appeared in every paper in the land with descriptions of what Eric can do, we will take a little different view. He cannot sail a boat and we do not think he would even float! What a pity that the inventor does not give his mind to solving some of the real problems of the day such as improvement of steering gears, etc ! MODEL YACHTING ASSOCIATION. The exhibits of the M.Y.A. stand consisted of a number of model yachts. First of these we must mention “ Queen Bee” (A-class), a beautiful piece of work which earned her owner-builder a silver medal in last year’s Exhibition. ‘* Madeleine,” Mr. Crawley’s A-class, occupied a place of honour. This boat is a splendid example of Mr. Daniels’ latest work. The original ‘“ Frolic” was also shown and proved a great attraction as her lines have been published in The Model Yachtsman. “Miss South Africa’’ created much interest as showing the spread of model yachting in the Colonies. Her hull is an extremely nice example of bread-andbutter building but the finish is a little below the highest standard obtained over here. The stripe which ornaments her is also not to our taste and looks out of proportion to the size of the boat. At the same time she is a most creditable example of building, and we heartily congratulate Mr. R. Perrin Cole of the Durban M.Y.C. on her. ** Meteor,” Mr. C. Drown’s 10-rater was also shown. This boat’s record is well-known to our readers and there is no need for us to guild the lily. In addition to the models, there was on show at the stand a board of Fittings made by Mr. W. H. Bauer. We need hardly say that these were very much admired and anyone. who fits a similar set should have every satisfaction. The pictures shown included a couple of spirited water-colours of the old clippers by Mr. J. E. Cooper, and a collection of photos mostly by Mr. C. N. Forge, ‘the popular Hon. Secretary of the M.Y.A. Two interesting designs were also exhibited, one being Mr. J. G. Feltwell’s well-known A-class October 1928 EXHIBITION. design, ‘‘ Pat,”’ and the other the lines of a remarkably sturdy little 1%-ins. scale 6-metres. We understand that this little boat is now in process of building and nearing completion. She ought to give a very good account of herself. THE MODEL POWER BOAT ASSOCIATION. We are pleased to see that this Association is making good progress and hope that eventually the power boat section of model marine enthusiasts may be as highly organised as the sailing men. One of the most pleasant features of the Exhibition was the matey-ness between the various sections of model marine men. In the past at times there have been sundry “words” at the pondside, but it is beiug recognised that there must be a certain amount of give and take on both sides. Undoubtedly the sailing yacht is far more fragile than the power-boat and will take more harm from a collision, but given a certain, amount of care and a little sea-sense to know what a sailing yacht will do, these mishaps should not occur very often. Speaking of this matter we are reminded of a tale told by one of our friends a very experienced racing skipper who was tacking his real yacht down the river Yare. A motor craft in charge of a novice overtook him and dashed straight across his bows. The young fellow in charge shouted angrily to our friend, “Why the… . . don’t you sail straight down the river ?” Generally speaking, the power boats on show at the exhibition were a splendid fleet and we were pleased to note particularly the interest taken in the representative models and the high standard of work and finish. It is impossible to mention more than a very few of these owing to lack of space. The West London Model Power Boat Club stage a couple of models of ‘‘ Castle’ liners showing a. painstaking attention to detail. The Victoria Model Steamboat Club showed the model river launch ** Duchess.” This is a beautifully finished model of which her builders may well be proud. Amongst the old stagers we noticed a cargo steamer the ** Belle Morss,”’ tomplete down to the ship’s cats ! We were rather surprised to see on the power boat stand, a model of the sailing ship, “ Cutty Sark,” just a little waterline outline model in a case, but very charming. Several models in the South London Power Boat Club’s exhibit had extremely nice examples of internal combustion engines. The “ Savage ”’ of the West London Club is an untried model but we have to congratulate her builder on putting the best finish on his hull of any speed boat exhibited in the show. Some of the other hydroplanes had very crude hulls and many of them must lose miles an hour by surface friction alone. It seems strange to us that these miniature speed kings will strive foz October 1928 revs and yet more revs, and yet by not sufficiently attending to their hull surface, they throw away speed that they really have. Before passing to other exhibits we must make mention of the marvellous little hydroplane, ** Chatterbox,” which is reputed to have travelled 40 m.p.h. This is a wonderful speed for such a little craft to make and we heartliy congratulate her builders. We understand that she has never really shown her best paces as she dives at anything over 40. 95: The Model Yachtsman. The engine is willing but the hull is incapable of it. This shows that sufficient attention has not yet been paid to hull design. COMPETITION EXHIBITS. Generally speaking, the standard of work was extremely high and there were many lovely models. We can only mention a few of the most conspicuous marine exhibits here but can assure our readers that the whole were well worth seeing. Admiral Sir R. Bacon, K.C.B., D.S.0., showed a fine model of the ‘“‘ Prince Albert.” the last of the British Sailing Battleships. This was complete in every detail and her rigging must have taken many hours and is a testimony to the thoroughness of her builders. The M.E. Cup for the best piece of work in the Competition Section was awarded to a scalo showcase model of the Isle of Man 8. P. Co.’s Ship “Ben My Cree,’ This is a very fine piece of work on which we congralulate her builder, Mr. R. F. Bell, very heartily. A nice show model of the ‘ Victory” perTrafalgar period was also marred by poorly made sails. Several of the show models were also somewhat skimped in details. A model of a M.L. had a hull which we did not care for but was capitally fitted above waterline. One of the finest pieces of marine work we have seen was a Model Cargo Steamer shown by Mr. C. N. Longridge. The superstructure was not shown but the triple expansion engine and plant shown were a magnificent piece of work. We hope to see her again when her upper works are added. There was a case of charming waterline models of H.M. Warships. In the Drawings Section of the competition work, we noticed a very beautiful pen and ink drawing by Mr. J. E. Cooper, Hon. Secretary of The Forest Gate M.Y.C., of the five-masted barque “‘Kobenhaven,” which had very justly been awarded a Bronze Medal. We also saw a very striking picture of a modern sailing ship executed in green wash by Mr. L. Bootland. LOAN EXHIBITS. Many beautiful models figured in this collection but we have space only to mention one or two. Two delightful miniature models of the “* Medina” and ** Mauretania,” lent by Mr. C. J. Hampshire, were – especially noticeable, also a wonderful little model of a 30-foot Service Cutter lent by the maker, Mr. Thomas Lewis. This perfect little piece of work is about 7} incles long and contains nearly four thousand tiny rivets. The little maxim in her bows is complete in every detail and alone has no less than sixty-two parts. We consider this the finest example of miniature boat building we have ever seen, and heartily congratulate Mr. Lewis on his work. She took him two years to complete. TRADE EXHIBITS. Messrs. Walkers, of Baker Street, are new comers to the model world and we have to give them a very hearty welcome. Besides catering for model railway enthusiasts, they are making a serious attempt to do their duty by the sailing fraternity. On this stand we saw a fine little model sailing yacht, 3 ft. lo.a., which is capable of really good work. The first of these little boats was bought by a well-known Bishop. The hull is from a Morgan Giles dinghy design fitted with a detachable fin for lacking. She has two suits of sails, Braine Steering Gear, and is complete in every detail. She should make some of our clubs who have a 3 ft. l.o.a. class sit up and take notice! A very nice show model of the ‘* Victory’ was also staged. Gamage’s stand was in itself an index of the increasing popularity of model yachting amongst the younger generation. There was a very nice line indeed of small boats which showed an appreciation of the fact that boys want a sail boat that will really sail. * * * Generally speaking, Messrs. Percival Marshall & Co., proprietors of our esteemed contempory, T’he Model Engineer, are to be congratulated on one of the best Exhibitions they have ever organised. 96 The ge ne me R=! a hag haar =—— the skids were removed, the roar of the engines quickened and we started to taxi across the aerodrome. Our pace increased and just before we took off, it seemed terrific. Two little bumps and suddenly I realised that we were in the air. Curious the chequer-board effect of the fields from the air, curious the effect of looking down and seeing little trains like tiny models moving along rails and toy motors speeding along the roads. We ran into heavy head winds just before we reached the other side of the Channel. From the lines of white on the waters we could guess that the Channel boats were having a very rough crossing, yet aloft we noticed scarcely anything. Steadily the ‘plane droned on. Unfortunately rain squalls rendered the visability very low. Once or twice we struck bumpy patches, full of air pockets. To try to get clear of this the pilot rose to a great height and we flew through the clouds for awhile. Presently we saw Amiens cathedral, then after a while the Eiffel Tower came into view. ‘The decent at Le Bourget seemed to me the worst part of the journey. The engines were throttled down and the plane came to earth. Bump, bump, she taxied across the ground and came to rest just outside the aerodrome. Outside our first thought ee chamber variety. My guide on this occasion was the lady I saw on my first visit. The orchestral item which immediately preceeded my Talk was in full swing and for a moment I listened to it through the headphones. It was explained to me that whilst I talked the lady would don the headphones and listen. Should I speak too fast or slow, too softly or loudly, she would prompt me by signs. A clock was on the wall to enable me to time myself over the quarter-of-an-hour I was allotted. Ata minute to five, she hurried out to find my announcer The Channel lay like a contour map a hurry, and so we flew back to Croydon. gee On the afternoon in question I duly presented myself at Savoy Hill and in due course was conveyed to the studio again, another room of the padded who appeared to be late. Suddenly the red light began to flicker, presumably a sign to announce that the world was waiting on me. This was repeated, but still the announcer and the lady did not return. At last, when I was getting really nervous and had stage-fright badly, they appeared. The announcer, a pleasant looking young man, explained that he was in the middle of dictating a below us, both sides visible at the same time, little harbours in plan, toy ships going about their lawful occasions. Such a sight as one does not forget in oe By H. B. Tucker. Imagine a small room without a window. Heavy curtains of a restful drab colour hang round the walls, a thick carpet to match on the floor, probably the ceiling even covered with felt to match. A room where the voice falls dead without echo or resonance. There are no lights except one at the far end over a desk, which also is covered with drab coloured felt. In it is a little red lamp which glows like an evil eye and is a sign that the microphone is switched on and that the world can hear everything I say or do. I must not cough or sneeze lest Ideafen thousands, I must not rustle my papers nor must I let my wrist watch get near the microphone lest its tick be transmitted to the world. That innocent-looking little white rectangle hanging on a wire, for all the world like a child’s drawing slate about three inches square is the microphone. After this my mentor dons a pair of headphones and instructs me to deliver the first part of my speech. He kindly gives me several hints and tells me not to be nervous. smoke on the ’plane.

Se October 1928 As for my other experience of Broadcasting, this in its way was most interesting. I received a letter asking me to call on the Assistant Director of Talks to discuss the possibility of my giving a Broadcast talk on Model Yachting. I duly presented myself and had a very interesting chat with a charming lady. I was astonished to find that she knew a great deal about our sport and had several numbers of The Model before Yachtsman her and Messrs. Percival Marshall’s Manual in the new Edition. After it had been explained to. me what was wanted and I had briefly outlined the subject of my Talk, I was introduced to Mr. Ackerley who took me down to one of the Studios for a voice test. letter and had not noticed the time. He announced me and slipped away quietly. I read the first few sentences of my manuscript and felt oppressed at the sensation of talking to nothing, but I carried on and in a minute or so gained confidence and was in full swing. I glanced at the clock and saw that I was keeping nicely to time and continued. Fifteen minutes later it was all over, and after being told that my Talk has gone through very well, I found myself in the street again, feeling a little elated that my words had passed over the aerial and been given to the world through that modern marvel, the wireless. October 1928 The Model Yachtsman. ——=—> The Editor accepts nu responsibilly for opinions expressed by Correspondents.

BROWN. Sir, If your correspondent is anxious to dye his sails, he will find the following effective. For a tan shade, use about half a cube of Drummer Dye, Rusty Red Shade. This also tends to preserve sails. For a good red colour use a packet of Rusty Red Twink. To waterproof sails and prevent mildew make a saturated solution with equal quantities of alum and sugar of lead in distilled or clean rain water. A precipitate will form, from which the liquor should be siphoned off. The sails should be soaked in this for twenty-four hours. After this, dry slowly in the open air if possible. Yours, etc., G. CuTHBERT PAINE. RUDYARD LAKE. Grey Cottage, Lilliput, Parkestone. ———a ee ba Sir, Sir, I notice that a correspondent asked in your July number for a satisfactory method of staining sails fora model barge. I doubt if an ordinary dye would in the end be satisfactory without repeated dipping. There is, however, a very easy and satisfactory method of doing this which is, moreover, in accordance to some extent with real practice. It was described in the Yachting Monthly for August, 1923, in an article on the Portsmouth Sea Scouts, entitled * Once aboard the Whaler.” a The process is to steep the sails for several days in a solution of catechu, and I have tried it on model yacht sails with success. The colour is a lovely brown, and the catechu not only stains but preserves the fabric. My sails have been packed wet and left with brine in them without suffering. a nes a T. L. DucKER.

I received every consideration and accommodation from the boat owners. The railway runs the length oi one side of the lake, and there is a station and boat landing at each end. There is also a golf club. The wind was very good and regular out in the open wide part and my last board was a mile run without handling the model.

Sir, In the June number of The Model Yachtsman I was specially interested in the article on “ Volumetric Efficiency,” by Mr. E. W. Hobbs, and decided to devote a few hours to test the method suggested to obtain a hull with 100% efficiency. For convenience I took the design of a 36-inch l.o.a, model with 12? Ibs. displacement which I prepared for the Bourneville M.Y.C. This design, as proved by close pointing combined with speed, is 107 sails are of normal proportions, but I feel sure that your readers would welcome any views that might be expressed by well-known designers such as Mr. Daniels, Mr. Feltwell, Mr. Littlejohn, Kappa and others, and it would give a sound lead to many who are at present compelled to work in the dark and put aside theories as useless, possibly for the reason that they are not explained in language intelligible to the model yachtsman who possesses only a moderate knowledge of mathematics. Yours ete., all that can be expected from this type of model. After reading and re-reading Mr. Hobbs’ article, I confess with disappointment that I was utterly E. B. Savacez, C.E. Harborne, Birmingham. unable to apply his theory and would have been better satisfied, had he supplemented his article with a diagram showing its application to an actual model. I, therefore, feel, as probably do others interested in model yacht designing, that if Mr. Hobbs can find time to supply this deficiency, it would enable us to put his theories to practical use. Possibly he will also explain what he means by the “ Areas of the immersed half of each section ” and the ** Emerged half.” Another point which does not appear to be convincing is that the “ simple direct measurement ”’ of the distances between the new curve and the old at any given station should be the same if the 100°, efficiency is to be obtained. Surely this would only hold good with a cigar-shaped hull and is not applicable to any normally designed model ? If this is so, then the direct measurement theory is not a practical solution of the problem, and one must still continue to work out the centres of buoyancy in the usual way from the upright and heeled curves of areas. After many years experience of designing and sailing, I have come to the conclusion that the theory that the axis of a model, whether upright or heeled, should remain parallels erroneous, and would only hold good if the effect of the bow wave could be eliminated. This being impossible, provision has to be made to counteract the lifting tendency due to the wave by so designing the hull that the C.B. of the heeled displacement curve lies slightly astern of the C.B. when upright. Moreover this depression (which is scarcely noticeable when sailing) is to my mind an important factor in obtain- ing a boat which points high, 7.e., one which when heeled to the gunwale by a puff tends to luff slightly instead of showing the fatal vice of falling off. To lay down a hard and fast rule as to the correct relative positions of the two Centres of Buoyancy is difficult since this appears to vary with the type of hull, but with a small model such as that previously referred to with |.w.1. of 32 inch, } inch valiation has been found to give correct balance.. In a 10-rater from 4 to 4 inch is not too much, and this is even exceeded in many well-known boats. I have suggested what appears to me to be the crux of a well balanced boat, assuming that the “EMPRESS.” This A-class model belonging to Mr. L. Dockray of the Bradford M.Y.C. created a very favourable impression during the Gosport Regatta. She finished just astern of the twelve finalists and would have done better had she not been handicapped throughout the meeting by a weak rudder stock, which gave continual trouble. i] |H j Sales ok 4 4 iH October 1528 charged.
