C, Ar the regular meeting of the American Model Y. C., held Dec. 6 at 227 Fulton st., Brooklyn, considerable important business was transacted, Com. J. H. Lane presiding. The prizes won by Lizzie, schooner, Katie S., first-class sloop, and Dolphin, third-class sloop, in the races of Nov. 5, were presented to their respective owners. The fact that the club will have a permanent salt-water station next season, and the balling: of a model house, has proved a factor in aug- menting the membership. No leas than nine applicants were admir. ted at the previous meeting in November and three at this meeting, including one honorary member, making a membership to date of sixty-one, all told, with sixty-two model yachts on the list. Yacht designer A. Cary Smith was proposed by Fraak Nichols and econded by the Commodore, and was elected unanimously ao honor* member amid great enthusiasm. — . Smith is @ believer in model yachting on a scientific basis and _.lways upheld the sport, a fact which has by all model yachtamen. been duly eppreciated Mr. Geo. W. Townley was instructed by the club to complete the plans and specifications for the new house at the salt-water station at once. The opening of next season will mark an era in the history of club. . the Model Yachting. Editor Forest and Stream: I note with pleasure, in Mr. Stephens’s paper on “The Centerboard,” ’ read before the Society of Naval Architects, Nov. 7-8, he mentions the model yachtsmen. In the last paragraph but one he says: “In conclusion, while the ceaterboard has been at times an instru- ment of evil Hhrougt the easy way which it opens to bad design and construction, the device, when properly handied by the honest and still reasonably safe and exceedingly useful in skilled hands; and no skillful designer, is of the higheat possible utility. Through it is made possible a craft of extreme light draft which, eeough cal ble, is other should attempt to use it. ith adequate depth and a proper construction, the material being preferably all metal in large craft, it gives a strong, safe and practically non-capsizable sea-going vessel, for either pleasure or trade, on a moderate draft of water. ‘The best possible combination of good qualities— speed, safety, accommodation and convenience of use—are to be had in a yacht in which the greater part of the depth is made up by the hull proper, the keelor appendage being reduced to a minimum (for the sake of light draft) and the m: factor of lateral resistance being a centerboard properly proportioned to the hull and placed in the one correct position. Could I say where this position is, I should feel that my work might aspire to a far higher value; but I frankly confess that I know of no rule or formula that covers the case, and there are many more experienced than I, professional designers, who will join in this admission. Some design: ers do know, but they are very few; some believe that they know, but their boats speak to the contrary; many yachts of excellent proportions and model have been utterly spoiled through the misplacing of the gente toera. As in most of the details of yacht designing, the location of the conterboard is not a matter of exact caiculation, but of judgment based on practical experiment and close observation.” He omits to state the possibilities of ascertaining the true position of these elements through the trial of a sailing model of the intended yacht, which can be done and has been done, A model yacht must be perfectly balanced, otherwise she would not sail by the wind with any satisfaction. We would suggest that the experimenting be done in the model before building the large yacht, thereby saving expense and disappointment. We congratulate Mr. Stephens on his able paper and hope he will pardon us for this suggestion, but we could not keep our hands off.
