A Committee of Ten. No. of Members. about 180. ‘THis Club was formed through the instrumen- tality of the Commodore, Mr. T. A. Bruce, who for some years had amused himself by making and sailing model yachts. At this time little was known in Hull of the existence of Clubs in other places, or the amount of model-sailing prevalent in the kingdom. The desire to form a Club arose through the solitary way in which Mr. Bruce had to pursue his pleasure of model-sailing—not that there were none but himself to sail models, but the unorganised visits of the few there were seldom occurred at the same time—consequently to find a competitor was very difficult, and a direct chal- lenge to race almost unknown. On finding that 3 there were at any rate some who liked the pastime of model yacht sailing as well as himself, Mr. Bruce consulted with several of these, and it was decided to start a Club. The first meeting was held at Mr. R. R. Coverdale’s, in Savile-st., on June zoth, 1881, and was attended by six gentlemen. Mr. T. A. Bruce was voted to the chair, and a very pleasant and useful meeting this was, the promoters having in their mind the association of a limited number of pleasant companions, and the zest of a bit of racing. To complete the list to a number sufficiently large to bear the expense of carrying on the Club, advertising was resorted to, and was answered in such an unexpected manner that the promoters’ ideas were completely revolutionised. It demonstrated that such a large number were prepared to take an interest in model yachting, the promoters must decide whether to limit the number of members to such a number as they originally conceived suffcient for the purpose they had in view, or open the portals of the Club and attempt to make it an important public institution. They chose the latter course, and the officers and committee up to the present time have followed out the same, the result being that a rational amusement is provided for a large number of people who felt the want of one to suit their feelings and circumstances. In the course of its career the Club has met with some little derision and contumely, but taking all together it has much to be congratulated on in the immense strides it has made in public favor and the support it has received from public men. Its first year’s business consisted of one grand regatta, 39 entries, divided over 5 classes, and a dinner to wind up the season. Its second year contained 2 grand regattas, with about 80 entries each (6 classes) ; a 4-days’ exhibition of model vessels, resulting in an acquisition to the funds of over £20; and a tea and concert at the end of the season. The third year opened with a large exhibition, resulting in a gain of nearly £200, half of which was handed over to the National Lifeboat Institu- tion. (The exhibition was opened by Chas. H. Wilson, Esq., M.P., assisted by the Mayor and members of the Corporation, and many gentlemen connected with shipping.) Two grand regattas were held during the year, with about 80 entries each (6 classes) ; and prize sailing matches every Saturday afternoon. ‘This, the most successful year in the Club’s history, was brought to a conclusion with a tea and concert, at which prizes to the value of about £60 were distributed by Ald. Symons. The ensuing year’s programme consists of an ex- hibion of new models, in the Sailor’s Institute, Hull—March 18th to 22nd, 2 grand regattas ; and Saturday afternoon sailing matches. THE MODEL-YACHTSMAN The Club has twice visited Warter Priory, the seat of Chas. H. Wilson, Esq., and last year visited Thwaite House, Cottingham, the residence of Dr. Rollit, the present Mayor of Hull, on each occasion making a display of sailing with their models. Last year, too, they made a sailing exhibition at the Floral Fete, &c., in the Hull Botanic Gardens , and were on that occasion a source of great attracti on. In the early part of 1883, a considerable number of members of the K. M. Y. C., who resided at a distance from the sailing-ground, seceded from the ranks, and in conjunction with others formed the Albert M.Y.C., an institutio now n numbering about 50 members, Thus from an apparently insignificant commence- ment the pastime of model yachting has grown to be a very important one in Hull, providing healthy exercise and instruction for its: votarie s 3 and it only remains for the committee of the Royal York- shire Yacht Club to follow the example of its Continental Cousins, and offer some prizes for Model Yachts, as well as the larger craft, to put the finishing touch of public commendation on model yachting, as well as provide the sightseers of regattadays with something more than the start and finish of their own yachts, and the not very elevatin g sport of punt-hunting and mud-larking.—H.F.R. MODEL YACHT FOR By N on Yacht of 2ft. 6in. long, a nice handy size, suitable to carry about without much inconvenience. After this has been described, I may deal with the manner of constructing larger models on a similar plan. . Most works on model yacht building recomm end you to buy a bench and a considerable number of tools. If you can afford the expense and spare the room they will occupy, by all means follow that advice, as, if you make a failure at model yacht making, you may turn out successful at somethi ng else. But how few can devote a spare room for the purpose of a workshop, and how few will feel inclined to launch out into considerable expense for tools, when they are not sure of being able to Well, then, to begin :—It will not be necessary to buy a bench, as any deal table, a strong box, or even your own knees, will do instead.

This will not cost you more than 3/-, and in some probably only place his pet pastime in a poor light. I may, however, safely say to those who have not begun the sport of model yacht sailing and the places rather less. It should be free from shakes and knots, but more especially the latter, as pine pleasure of model yacht building, that there is one knots are very bad to work, and if shakes are in- rational, healthy, and exhilarating recreation, evitable, they may be filled up afterwards. -Sweets of which they have not sooner they go in for it the better. the tasted, and the When the two pieces are stood on their edges, and placed together, they will be of the same THE MODEL-YACHTSMAN. ‘“Mopet Yacut Maxine, ror BEGINNERS.” 6 AL dire By BUTTERCUP.

For the present one piece can be put aside, and a commencement made on the first half of the vessel. On one of the edges, 3in. wide, mark the deck-plan; but before doing so it would be as well to cut out the deck-shape on a piece of stiff paper, and having cut out a suitable one, fold the paper down the middle, and draw the shape of it on the wood. The shape of this deck-plan should be a nice easy curve, attaining its greatest breadth about midway of the length of your wood, that is, isin. from either end, as per Fig. r. Next, cut off the wood to this mark, leaving it the same shape all the way down from top to bottom. a gouge will be required. To do this This should be broad, and will cost about 1/– tin. When purchased it will have a blunt edge, and to remedy this a gooa oilstone will have to be bought, cost not more than 1/-. Work down the edge of the gouge ona piece of flagstone until nearly sharp enough to cut, then get up a fine edge on the oilstone. You cannot work all the wood smoothly off with the gouge, so for smoothing purposes purchase a small American plane, price 1/-, 5 the place from which it will be necessary to cut down the wood towards ‘the keel. In deciding upon this buttock-line it is essential to determine how much freeboard the boat is to have at the greatest depression of the sheer-line, and as small models will be compelled by the force of the wind to heel over as far as larger ones, it is only reason- able they should have as much freeboard as will enable them to sail with their decks out of the water. I shall therefore recommend in this case a freeboard or straight side of 214 inches, then below this another inch of straight side, to provide a good buoyancy to carry the ballast with. The buttock- line should be shaped like that on the diagram Fig. 2; then allow 2% inches for counter or overhanging stern, and drawa line for the stern-post, as at 66 , next, a line to rake the stem, as at cc. Cut off the wood to the right hand of 44 and to the left hand of cc—this will leave the stem and sternpost the proper shape. Now turn the wood with bottom upwards, and draw the shape of the keel thus—aa Fig. 3. It should be fine at each end, and 5% of an inch wide at the widest part, the widest part being a little nearer the stern than the stem. and a medium-sized You can now take your gouge and cut away the Between these two wood from the buttock-line down towards the keel spokeshave, price about 1/6. useful tools you will find the wood can be got fairly line, sternpost, and stem. smooth, which is all that is wanted for the present. boat where the most body is, it will do to be cut On the flat side of your wood now draw the sheer-line, that graceful dip or fall towards the In the centre of the straight down from the buttock-line to the keel- line, but hollowed more or less towards the stem centre of the vessel, which is so necessary to give and sternpost. a handsome appearance. finished r6th of an inch thick. If you neglect this, your vessel, in comparison with others which are nicely sheered, will look like the camel of the desert— humpbacked. The dip of the sheer-line should attain its greatest depth a little nearer the stern than the line drawn across at midship, see Fig. 2. A dip of 34 to % of an inch will give a graceful appearance. Next cut off the wood down to this line with the gouge, and smooth off with spoke- shave and small plane, taking care to finish it at a right angle with the flat side of the wood. Thus far you have got the deck-shape and sheer cut out; so lay the wood flat side downwards, and on the shaped side draw a buttock-line, to define The stem and sternpost to be Each cut of the gouge should be evenly made, not first deep and then shallow. Beginners will find it difficult to do this well, but they must exercise patience, and not attempt to cut off too much at a slice. This being done, smooth down the surface with spokeshave and plane. We have now left a nasty-looking angle at the buttock-line, but if this is pared down with the spokeshave until all the lines fall into such harmony as could be made if the corners had to be turned by planking, a very decent shape will be the result.

The celebrated racing-cutter Samana, 88 tons, is advertised for sale. The 40-ton cutter Annasona, the crack of 1882, has been fairly beaten out of the field by the new 4o-tonner Zara, and a similar fate has befallen the celebrated 1o-tonner Buttercup, at the hands of Uliaia. cruise The Annasona is now fitting out fora in the Mediterranean. Notwithstanding their present reverses, it is to be hoped their plucky owners will enter the lists in the coming season, and hold the new champions in check. Mr. Walter J.

The smallest vessel that ever made the passage men and a boy composed tion is waged more fiercely than ever, no end of cures for the present diseased state of things being suggested. It seems, from what we can see of the elements of strife, they consist of dissatisfaction on the part of owners of yachts that have been outclassed in length and depth,—defence of the prin- ciples involved in the class-racing on level terms,— and hopeless efforts on the part of club committees to find some means of keeping up the entries at the regattas.

As affecting most of the Clubs throughout the kingdom, this is the dead season, but in some of the Clubs in London, favored with suitable sailing- place, the spirit never dies, and the sport is pushed merrily along all the year. Thus we see reported on Feb. 4 and 11, the M. Y. Sailing Association sailed matches for first-class boats at the Round Pond, Kensington Gardens, for cutters only, for special prizes. In both cases Mr. Butcher secured the prize, in the first instance by the aid of the Harry, and in the second by the Arad.

The proceedings will be enlivened each evening by a musical entertainment, and it is to be hoped this, like the previous exhibitions of the Club, will leave a satisfactory balance in hand. We shall be dependent to a great extent on the officers and members of the Clubs for interesting reports, but we feel confident they will gladly respond to our invitation, and thus promote the knowledge of model-yachting.
