At the conclusion of an interesting article on model yachting, this number says : “These little vessels attain a speed out of all proportion to their lengths, and the wave making is very pronounced. A aft. 6in, boat has been timed across Kensington pond in 2m, 558., a distance of 310 yards, (itis said to have been done in 2m. 503., but this is not so well authenticated), would roundly give a speed of 3-5 knots an This hour. The ‘corresponding speed’, by the usual method of comparison, for a I0-tonner 41ft.|on the waterline would be 14-2 knots an hour, or nearly double thespeed a ro-tonner has ever attained. The weight of ballast compared with weight of hull will partly explain this.”—-From this it would appear that the speed given by Mr. Roberts, which agrees fairly with that of ‘Nona’s’ second example, is very moderate, the ‘correspond- Final heat, ‘ Ariel’ and ‘Beatrice’ made a good ing speed’ for a 4ft. 6in. model, with that of the example start—‘ Glance’ given in the ‘/¥e/d’ would be 4-69 knots an hour. 2 and ‘ Monarch’ nearly foul, but ‘Monarch’ drew away and quickly passed ‘ Ariel’ and ‘ Beatrice,’ drawing out a long lead of about so yards on the run, but ‘ Beatrice’ and ‘Glance’ which was last running got away a board to-wind- Then again the speed given by Mr. Corbett, for a ro-tonner corres- ponds fairly enough with ‘Nona’s’ first example, allowing the difference in size to be counteracted by the conditions of weather.

In ‘Buttercup’s article “Model Yacht Building for Beginners,” in Nov. issue, page 163, 2nd column, 8th line, it says: “The 8th piece from the base-line to the curved line No, 8.” It should be “The curved line No. 8 is the shape of underside of the 7th piece of board.” I bought it, and was much more pleased to find that its con- M.Y.C. tents were worthy of anyone’s attention and very interesting. Up to that time I had always felt rather ashamed of my model yachting, and had no idea that it was so extensively followed; so I made up my mind to see if there was material in Man- chester to form a club, without any result; I advertised in the papers for weeks I had not a single reply. By an accident, I found one gentleman who was interested, but he was rather shy, so I tried a letter to the paper, writen as if a club was fairly started, and the result was astonishing: a week found us with over 20 members, many local gentlemen of high position. Free of any charge, we secured by the generosity of the owner, a splendid sailing pond, and at the present moment we number over 60 members, with a long list down for election next general meeting; and, also, we have a good cash balance to carry forward, a most unusual thing in a new club, Iam quite sure that if The Model- Yachisman was well-known in any town where a new Club is in formation, it would help them as it helped us, because people are at once convinced that it is no child’s play, buta sport that deserves any man’s attention.
