INDOOR YACHTING For Winter Evenings & By C. O. Brook VER since the first time I tried to interest my acquaintances in model yacht racing, I have had one big difficulty ; finding a graphic method of portraying the sport when away from the lake. I should say, I had that difficulty, because it no longer exists. I have discov- ered a novel method of carrying the thrills of model yachting right into the clubhouse. The idea is useful, not only for teaching beginners the principles of sailing, but also for re-enacting situations that have cropped up in past re- gattas, so members could study the conditions that were involved. I had, on many past occasions, made sketches on paper at meetings to portray how sails were set, courses sailed, and so on, but to practically all of my skipper associates, there was too much left to guess work. I took along my album of photos of boats in many degrees of construction and points of sailing, and still I was asked, time and time again, to explain the whys and wherefores of sailing. Now, to begin with, I do not set myself up to be the authority on sailing, nor on racing rules and tactics. Each club must have Five dummy yachts lined up for a “race.” taken outdoors only for photographic reasons. models of boats. These, to make them interesting, were 14 inches long. The lumber is 7%” thick and the “hull is 2” wide. They were not moulded; merely cut out on the jig saw, sanded down and enam- eled. Each is a different color, being red, white, blue, green, or yellow. For each of these models I made three booms of 1/16” wire roc; the jib boom, main boom, and spinnaker boom. Each has an eye bent at one end, through which a small round-head brass screw is fastened. This sign, and so on, is about all the bent up at the opposite end so they can be handled easily, giving sailing, it was natural that I should be looked to for this information in this locality. Since I love to make models of any size, I decided that I would make a complete set of yachts, buoys, and Segs, and build a “lake” on any erailable space at the meetings. Using scraps of lumber left from sailing models, I cut out five The photograph has been “touched up” to show these more clearly, while the picture was someone to teach the newcomer, and since reading books on sailing rules, rights of way, tactics, de- pastime I have away from the lake, and since I spend every weekend The lake is represented by a clothes line laid out in the proper shape, while the courses are represented by ribbons. permits the booms to be swung at any desired angle. The main and jib boom have a loop a point at which to swing them with the fingers. The spinnaker boom is without the loop and ‘is fastened with the same screw as the main boom. If a loop was put on the spinnaker boom, it would be difficult to pass it under the main boom. I then secured a 5-yard strip of 14”-wide satin ribbon of the colors corresponding with the col- Note the wire booms on the yachts ors of the boats. Next I purchased two small funnels to act as buoys. An empty thread spool of 1” diameter was used for the base for the two flags that mark the starting line; a meat skewer forms the flag staff and pieces of red paper cut to shape make the flags. A length of clothes-line rope 25 feet long is laid out to form the lake’s shore line. We are thus enabled to form a reasonably accurate description of the lake we sail on. An arrow is mounted on a 5” disk so that it revolves, not too easily. On the edge of the disk, the points of the compass are laid out in distances of 4 degrees each, from 0 to 82. Starting from the right, it is marked 4-8-12-16-2024-28-32; then, inside that, the order is reversed, 82-28-24-20-1612-8-4. Another arrow is used to indicate a condition often found in actual racing: wind from two distinctly different directions on the same small body of water. Each of the starting-line flags is set in position, as are the buoys. The disk is placed at one end of (Continued on page 59) ‘You don’t need to put aside thoughts of yachting when ice covers your local pond.

Space does permit of a detailed account of events of any longer; there are so many them. Eagle Cup Race The Eagle Cup Race for A class was sailed on Gravesend Bay between the Central Park M.Y.C. and the Prospect Park M.Y.C., with three boats per club. Through a fresh northwest breeze, two heats of one mile to windward and return, and a triangle course of one mile to the leg, were sailed. The famous and beautiful mug, with names to make one hark back over the past en- graved all over it, with names of boats never-to-be-forgotten, was taken home by F. L.

Five of the members, preferably four newcomers and one more-ex- perienced skipper, each select a model, place it at the startingline, and “draw” for position. Number One takes his model and places it at the right-hand side of the line; Number Two takes next place on Number One’s left, and so on until the five models are on the line. Each skipper is then given the strip of ribbon that corresponds with the color of his yacht, and starting with Number One, unless he be the experienced skipper, he is told to “sail” the course, which he proceeds to do by laying his ribbon on the floor from his model to the first buoy, over the course he believes he would sail, then on to the second buoy, and “home.” Number Two and the others follow in order, except the one skipper who is experienced in sailing. He then lays out his course. The judges criticise or compliment as the case may be, the judgment of the various skippers. Each skipper then takes his model, and sets its booms at the angle he believes proper to bring him to the first point where he has = altered his course. Each succeed- ing skipper follows in turn, and the judges make corrections at these points. The umpire then states whether or not the wind is steady or broken, and for the run, each skipper is expected to swing his Spinnaker boom on the proper side and at the proper angle if the wind is not too light and fairly steady. After this, the ribbons are removed and wrapped around a flat board to keep them flat and unentangled. Two or more models are placed at some point of the lake and the skippers asked to state which yacht has the right of way, and what each skipper is supposed to do under that particular circumstance. Many conditions are plotted, so that many hours can be profitably used in this manner. We then have two Skippers set their yachts in position so as to create a “protest” condition. The “case” is brought before the “Officer of the Day” and his “Committee” for settlement. The Officer of the Day and his committee do not know who owns which yacht, as they are not present when the yachts are placed by the skippers, so their decision is absolutely unbiased. This is a point that. I have tried to put over for several years in actual racing. A competent officer, preferably the Officer of the Day, should not be approached by the usual method of “John Doe fouled John Smith while such and such a condition prevailed.” This makes it seem as though the O.

But let us go back to our “lake.” We also lay it out according to the conditions and contours of the sev- eral ponds we have sailed on. For the Boston pool, we make the two arched bridges that are at either end, also the tall apartment houses on one side, and have the skippers take the boats, in pairs, and dem- onstrate what they would do under various wind conditions and if their model comes ashore at differen* points.

Through this tunnel, a draft of wind is experienced, usually causing the models to head into it on & beat or send a yacht completely about when running.
