These decorations were only 14 inches high and were presented to each club as a token of our happiness in their visit. At one of the tables were Mr. Francis Herreshoff and Joe Weaver frankly amazed at such a dis- play of pageantry. In every seat were happy faces, laughter, complimentary remarks. There was a perfect bevy of beautifully gowned women just as eagerly discussing boats as their male escorts. For two hours the banquet progressed merrily. A brief address of welcome was made by Mr. school student. At the head table were President E. L. Cheney of the M. Y. R. A. A. and President H. J. Stout of the Eastern Division of the M. Y. R. A.

After suffering many in- juries in bronco busting, and steer roping, Mr. Foster gave up the ey show business and opened a little ef Model Yacht fitting shop on Long Island. His performance was met with a continued burst of ap- plause. But to get back to the Regatta proper. There were 85 models within the roped enclosure. There can be no gainsaying that this dis- play of boats was something to make even the most unemotional spirit thrill. Saturday morning was clear and a very light air caused scarcely a ripple on the water. At 8 o’clock, almost to the minute, the first heat of 7 boats hit the starting line. Even at that early hour there were several hundred people watching the event besides the 200 guests whose cars were lined along the bank of the lake. The Paramount News and Fox Films were on the job covering the event. Nothing of importance took place during the first day’s racing. We had planned on running two days. Over this 1600 foot course, given vi even a moderate breeze, this would not have been too difficult, but in the light airs prevailing throughout the day, we were unable to go beyond the 14th heat, in addition to two resailed races—the 4th and 7th, which were resailed because no boat finished within the 25 minute time limit established. he te to we Cc Cc 8€ fo In any heat, where one or more tir gL vc of ac al se ve tir boat finished within the time limit, the race was considered run, but where no boat finished within that time, the race was resailed.

It would be difficult to tell, even with photos, what a fine sight this made. The race in itself was of little moment; the only feature of it being that a Regatta Committee Flag was placed on the shore at one side of the lake. Every lady guest made the adjustment she felt correct for this single board and the boat coming closest to the flag was awarded a trophy. This race was staged only because the Racing Committee recog- nized the fact that to spend two days at a Regatta with nothing to do but look on is not conducive of future visits, and we of this club make every effort to make the event interesting for Skipper, guest and spectator. But there can be no’ doubt that to see 85 models sailing at one time is a sight long to be remembered. Men such as Mr. Weaver, Mr. Herreshoff, Mr. Cheney and many other old timers in the sport, made ful, so well handled, so free of com- entries. I might add at this time that the aim of this club has ever been keen to build up the sport by showing the guests and spectators alike that model yachting is one branch of sports in which everyone can take an active part, not just root- ing from the sidelines, but by social contact based on sincere friendship. We plan for months ahead of time for our Annual Regatta, striving to make the entire event such as will bring the same entries, with many new ones each year. During this year we have planned since the first of January. We tried to be sure that nothing would be lacking; there was an amplifying system which for two days announced each race and every inter- esting phase of that race. The moment we received news of the results in England of the Interna- tional Class “A” Race, the public had it over the amplifiers. Each event scheduled for the rest of the season was announced frequently; names of publishers who printed anything of interest to the sport were given constant publicity; there was no thought of remunera- tion; simply a desire to keep the model man acquainted with anything of interest to him. The Popular Mechanics Magazine gave us a beautiful trophy dif- ferent from anything offered be(Continued on page 38) at the close of the racing Sunday evening, there had not been a solt- tary protest; not a single dissenting voice for any phase of the 4m event.

J mention this because it is indicative of the attitude of the general public, if they are sincerely approached.

The result of this race was: Joe Weaver, Central Park M. Y. C., Ist; Ben Chapman, Lyn M. Y. C., 2nd; Al Mattson, Marblehead M. Y. C., 3rd; Arvid Anderson, Staten Island M. Y. C., 4th; Andy Anderson, Jr., Red Bank M. Y. C., 5th. In the race for placing from 6th to 9th place for prizes were men with an average above 279.7 and were: Andy Anderson, Sr., Red Bank M. Y. C., 1st; Bill Stout, Philadelphia M. Y. C., 2nd; Frank Donnenbacher, Prospect Park M. Y. C., 3rd; Fred Howard, Lynn M. Y. C., 4th. Two special trophies were awarded to the club with the greatest aggregate number of miles to their credit by taking the distance from their sailing ground to ours, and multiplying this amount by the number of people making up their patty, and one prize for the in- dividual making the longest trip to take part in the event. The first mentioned was won by the Long Island M. Y. C. with a total mileage of more than 5600, while the last named prize was easily won by President E. L. Cheney, who made the trip of more than 1500 miles from Winter Park, .Florida. It is the hope of the Deeper Hud- son M. Y.

A system is being evolved which may permit 15 or more boats competing This would mean at one time. that instead of the 3 races which each Skipper had in the 2 days of the recent Regatta, they will be able to have as many as 12 races, which will be sufficient to satisfy the most eager devotee. The Popular Mechanics’ Trophy, by the Deed of Gift will be sailed for each year at this club. For the benefit of readers of Mopet CRAFTSMAN who have written me regarding the method of organizing a model yacht club, the handling of finances, etc., I write the following, feeling that it will be fairer to the publishers of this periodical and require less typing and mailing, than if I sent letters to each of the many inquirers. I do not contend that our system is either infallible nor the best; my contention being only that where it succeeds once, it can easily succeed again. One thing that cannot be disputed is, that we have made a host of friends. By this I do not imply. that we have made acquaintances, but FRIENDS of the first water. Were I to start today, to accept the honest invitations to visit these people, I could go on indefinitely with no worry over food, shelter or comfort. The first requisite is love of the sport, if you plan to organize that sport in your community. You must be honest in your intentions with those you contact and enthusiastic enough to talk boats in every waking hour. It has often been some remarked that of us “eat, sleep and = drink” model vachts, and inject them into every conversation. J sometimes think that some of us design or sail them between the lines of everything we read, not even excepting the Bible. Be prepared for ridicule, for you will doubtless get your share of it from the general public, who, even yet, carry the impression that model yacht racing is that pastime of children who buy a 10c boat and put it in the park lake with a string a attached. Your best chance to organize 1s through the pages of this magazine, and through your local pa- pers who are usually glad to publish such notices without charge. Call for a meeting of people who are interested in model yachts. Have copies of this magazine on hand opened to articles dealing with model yachts. Write to 52 Fet- ter Lane, London, E.C.4, England, and secure literature from them; the name is H. B. Tucker. Secure through this magazine if you can such books as “Model Sailing Craft” by Daniels and Tucker, and “Build a Winning Model Yacht” by Moore. There are sev- eral other books which MopEr CRAFTSMAN will be glad to secure for you. Mr. John Black of 65 Pine Ridge | Rd., W. Medford, Mass., treasurer of the M. Y. R. A. A. has books of sailing rules, measurement cerArthur tificates, blue prints, ete. Brown, Melrose Highlands, Mass., has many fine plans. These names I give are not men making money from these sales, but devotees of the sport who give you the result of their experience and skill at cost. When you have some knowledge of the sport from these books, etc., on which to talk with fair accuracy, then build or buy a suitable model—have these people who come in response to your notice build or buy with you—co-operative building or buying is less costly, and you have the fun of association while you work. My advice is to hold to one of two classes—the Marblehead 50800 class is the one best adapted to the beginner, though the International “A” Class is a nearer counterpart to the big boats. It is unwise to build unrestricted designs, because they are ornamental rather than useful. Perhaps, for me to advise the reader to build simply, and neatly, is a waste of time in many cases. We all have the “adolescent” pe- riod where we want every conceivable gadget aboard; our own ideas of rudders, steering devices, hook-ups, etc. My honest advice from experience is to “come to earth” as quickly as possible and MODEL CRAFTSMAN, The Home Mechanic’s Magazine for October, 1936 build a practical model.

He becomes a “busted flush” dropped in the discard. You will find, unless you are extremely fortunate, a few “chron- ic’ kickers among your members. You have no way of knowing them until they are members. If you wish to keep the club intact, there is but one solution to this condition; get rid of the kicker. He may be the finest skipper, build the best boat, know the rules in reverse, but he is a menace to your peace of mind and a drawback to your club, and since Model Yachting is a gentleman’s sport, a spott of friends who are having an enjoyable time together, your best course is to keep out the grouchy faultfinder. For your finances, the first thing to decide is an initiation fee and annual dues. Next are your affiliations, and without them you are an orphan. Permit me to cite this club, of which I am the Corresponding Secretary; are none financially of the able to members pay large sums of money for pleasure of any kind; to say, we are, I am very happy a group of men and women whose friendship is sincere, deep, and lasting. There is no question of dishonesty among us. The officers state plainly they can or cannot afford to pay; the members do likewise. Our dues and our initiation fees are payable when we have them; we pay them as promptly as possible. We assess ourselves because we realize the need for a small club house; no vote is taken insisting that each member will be assessed $10. meeting that We agree in open we need so much money ; prorated, it amounts to so much. Each member pays what he can at each meeting; an open rec- ord is kept and no member smiles at John Doe if he can afford but Se or 7c. Our Building Fund is growing nicely. Our treasurer, Mr. Selby Sum- mers asked if we wished to have him bonded; a smile was his only answer; he has full and complete control of the funds: his records are complete, open, and he has the unqualified confidence of the members. A very important point of fi- tional dues, club dues, registrations of boats, and _ subscriptions to magazines dealing with model yachting, the cost amounts to less than 50c a week under usual circumstances. I wonder if there is any other pleasure that can be had for so little cost. Another important feature in organizing is to attend, in a body if possible, a Regatta of the club nearest to you. Go there even without models, though with them, if you have any in the class being sailed, and see what real sport model yachting is. It is only by sailing in actual competition that you learn to sail according to the rules, and it is only by reading every book and article on the sport that you can find, that you know what other clubs and skippers are doing. You do not half enjoy it unless you keep abreast of the activities of the sport; and when you read a offer to a group of women making their initial visit to your Regatta? I recall the first Regatta I at- tended in 1930. A purely “Stag” affair. Some 16 or 18 of the big “B” class boats. Racing for 2 days; a supper in one of the East- ern States Clubs; very little opportunity to get acquainted with the skippers because no one thought to introduce those of us from this club. We enjoyed our stay because we Saw many things new and interesting, but we were like strangers in a museum, and did not find opportunity hosts. Let me now sketch that phase of model yachting that has held me in many discussions, for and That is, the ladies’ auxzil- tary. Many skippers for reasons known or unknown to themselves take the attitude that the social end of a club of this kind is not need- ed. They feel that women have no place in a sport of this kind. They seem to feel that sailing is the only part of the sport. I disagree with them and offer our own auxiliary as an example. Without them we would never have had a Regatta with such a successful finish as we have had since our first in 1933. They are, from my point of view, the backbone of any sporting organization. My own attitude, and that of the other mem- bers of this club is that when men feel that they should go sailing every Sunday, leaving their wives at home, and spend every night planning, designing or building boats, they are permitting the sport to destroy their home. Model yachting is not, we hope, ever to become that type of sport. The women have their own officers, their own club, functioning independently of the men; they are like, to a club, the delightful hostess in the home compared to the doorman at the bachelors’ club.
