The weather was ideal for sailing the Marblehead 50-800 Class yacht. The wind was steady, blowing E.N.E. at about 5 miles per hour. Che morning was clear and sunny with light clouds on the horizon. This hard-fought contest was destined to upset the “dope” of every “expert” in the game. It was generally considered that a miracle had happened when Frank Anderson of Red Bank M.Y.C. won the Trophy in both 1934 and 1935; but nobody believed that it was possible for him to win it a third time, against more than 50 skippers, the pick of the East. However, against the expectations of everyone, he repeated, proving himself an extremely clever skipper and deserving of the plaudits of Model Yachting devotees. There can be no alibis for the losers. Every skipper sailed a good race… there was no walk-away for Mr. Anderson. He had to sail, and sail every foot of the course. Picture a clear open expanse of water, several square miles in area; the shore bare of trees or other obstructions; a course of 2500 feet laid out; 52 finely constructed models lying on their sides ready to race; several hundred people, many of whom have come as far as 350 miles to participate, and you will get a fair idea of the conditions. An amplifying system was installed, enabling both the racing skippers and those on shore to hear the reports as the races progressed. Mr. K. Baumgarten, of the Washington M.Y.C. was Officer of the Day and instructed the skippers in the riiles of the race and afterwards the heats were posted on a set of bulletin boards. Though the Races were sched- uled to start at 9 A.M. it was 10 o’clock before the first group of five got under way. By that time, the water was ruffled and_ slightly lumpy. This Saturday was marked by some of the fastest sailing of heats which the writer has ever witnessed. By the end of the day (6 P.M.) 37 heats had been sailed. The 38th heat was started, but so many fouls occurred at the line that the Officer of the Day called off the racing until Sunday, 9 A.M, During the two days there were several minor accidents, no less than half a dozen skippers falling overboard, while several models were dismantled by collision with their to Winner right: Frank S. Anderson, d of Heisler Trophy, C. Brook, at mike, Chas. Heisler, Donor of the Trophy. owner’s skiffs or other yachts. Sunday was a day never to be win or lose, deserve a good deal of credit for their perseverance. The with rain threatening. However, the. wind shifted slightly to the North -rain held off and its place was taken but came back to E.S.E., gaining in forgotten. The sky was overcast, by half a gale. Racing was delayed until 10 o’clock, when the first group started off at a lively clip on a 10-mile wind from the S.E. By the time this first group had reached the 2nd buoy of the triangular course, the wind had raised to 15 miles and by 11 o’clock it was over 20 miles per hour. The water was covered with suddy foam and while the skippers had hard going to manage their skiffs, the models cut through the water like their big prototypes sailing farther out from shore. By 1 P.M. the wind had risen to better than 30 miles per hour, with the waves running 3 feet high. Every man had his work cut out for him and those who failed to finish because of wind and tide need feel no reluctance in admitting it. Dur- Explanation of terms used in scoring; The elapsed time is for the first boat in each race. Winner, 5 points; 2nd, 4 points; 3rd, 3 points; 4th, 2 points; 5th, 1 point. In the finals no points were given, but the two leading boats | moved up into the next set of finals. W.d. means withdrawn or not at starting line in time. Dnf—did not finish. Dis—disabled during race. T.h.—trial horse, extra boat used to make up the five in each race, but not scoring. The score of J. Patey of Lynn M.Y.C, is note- worthy in that he scored 20 out of a possible 20, being disable in semi-finals. Left ing the afternoon the writer volunteered to judge at the 2nd buoy in the semi-finals, and after 34 hour had to admit he had had enough, Constant plying of the oars was necessary to remain in one place and it was no easy plying either. All those who came over Page 23 strength with each shift. As an example of the closeness of the sailing of these races, it may be pointed out that in the Ist of the Yéth finals, sailed on Sunday, the four boats stood within 20 feet of one another until the 2nd buoy was reached, when they were so colsely packed that 3 of them fouled, while the 4th slipped through a space of less than 5 feet. After freeing the triple foul there was only a lapse of 3 seconds between the first and the last boat to cross the finish line. It was a race to thrill the soul of any nautically minded man or woman. Many of the other races sailed in those two unforgettable days were finished with margins as close as one second between two or more boats. After having won the Heisler Cup three times, and by the Deed of Gift becoming the owner of the Trophy, Mr. Frank Anderson accepted the Cup for just long enough to hand it back to the donor, Mr. Charles Heisler of the Deeper Hudson M.Y.C., with the request that he give it back to the sport as a perpetual trophy to be sailed for under the same conditions as in the past. It was a fine sporting gesture, (Continued on page 58) MODEL YACHTING Minutes of the M eeting of the EASTERN DIVISION of theM. Y.R.A.A. held at Red Bank, N. J.

The device for accomplishing this on the model is simple and dependable. A strip of thin phospher bronze or other springy material 144” wide and 114” long is cut into the shape of a long “H” and soldered between the top bracket of the pantagraph and the horns. The legs of the “H” bear on the upper arms of the. pantagraph and keep the horns in the desired position. This is shown clearly in the insert. The drawing shows the device as it was actually made and used. In this form it proved to be highly dependable and long-lived, some of the pantagraphs having been in continuous service for as long as three and four years. However, there is no reason why the design could not be altered by readers to suit whatever locomotive it is being used on, provided that these changes do not detract from the general efficiency of the device. Although the dimenSions are given for O gauge, these may be altered to suit OO or HO, because the pantagraph is not so complicated that it would be diffi- cult to build in the smaller scales. be run by any water-cooled 66cccsev ieneiceis swesciscce 2.50 110 MBE ne I W. am Name Dept.
