Anderson n’t iain -nd-nd- Instructions are given in model sailboat building and sailing; in the practical use of regulation size sailing boats of different types; in the techniques of rowing crafts which the include gigs, shells, navy type cutters, whale boats, canoes, crew boats, barges and outboard types; and in water You him safety. on- The Long Beach Recreation Commission has established a model boat building shop which has drawn the interest of both girls and boys and of adults from the ages of eight to seventy-two years. This model shop makes possible for ickrty- Che our beginners the construction of scale models of boats from simple forms to copies of larger popular boats, and for the more advanced students the construction of historically Our ure hat ’” accurate facsimilies. These models include the Southern California 40-700 types and the Class A types which are 5 to 6 feet long and carry 1,500 square inches of sail. se, 11m ng, dip At Long Beach, Cal., the 40-700 class sailing yacht is the popular size. Shown in this picture is the semi-annual 4,000 meter race HN OREDS of persons, especially youths in water- front cities, are now engaged in the building and sailing of model and regulation size sailing craft on recreation projects operated with the aid of the Works Progress Administration. They are fast becoming masters of the intricacies of boat handling-and design. Working in groups under trained supervision, using materials and facilities supplied by local sponsors or buying their own materials, these youths are acquiring a fund of “sailing lore’ and a knowledge of seamanship and craftsmanship which is opening up for them an enjoyable sport and providing them with a valuable training. The giving of assistance to such craft and aquatic activities is one phase of the WPA Recreation Program which is designed to promote worthwhile leisure-time activities through the use of unemployed skills. In this program, leaders, trained in particular crafts and in youth guidance, work with established recreation councils where they exist and assist in the organization of such councils where they do not, in order that recreation projects of a healthful and educational nature may be adapted to the leisure-time problems of a given locality. Projects which offer boys and girls a chance to build and sail boats under supervision are limited to cities where natural facilities make them feasible and where already existing clubs and sailing activities have created an interest. A number of these projects have been operated along the coast of Southern California. At Long Beach, where the Colorado Lagoon waterway offers an exceptionally fine model boat course and the Marine Stadium a public course for larger boats, the Long Beach Recreation Commission has expanded its aquatic program. Here, a fourpoint aquatic program is offered to both youths and adults. October, 1939 This model boat course of instruction offers not only an outlet for the expression of technical skill and the acquiring of such skill, but also provides a thorough course in design and in the hydrodynamics of model craft, which are replicas of regulation size vessels to which the same principles apply. In connection with the model boat shop the formation of junior yacht clubs and the holding of competitive races are encouraged. In the main, three types of races are held. These include instructional races for children; longer distance races on a 2,000-foot course with a beat and a broad reach using standardized racing models; and regional regattas raced over courses varying from 2,000 4,000 meters, using National and Southern feet to California standard designs, including the Marblehead and the Southern California 40-class models. Stressed throughout the classes in rowing and sailing of regulation size craft is the principle of water safety. Those participating are taught not only how to handle the boats but also methods of conduct necessary during emer- gencies. Swimming, first aid, and methods of righting capsized boats are part of the knowledge gained in these courses. Those interested in rowing have numbered about 1,250 weekly during a season of eight months. Those interested in the phases of building and sailing of model boats have averaged about 100 per day during the entire year. The sailing of small boats of regulation or standard size has met as popular a demand. During the months of June, July, August, September and October the average number of participants in this activity is about 480 per week. Five major sailboat regattas are also held regularly, with a total participating attendance of 1,500 persons of both sexes, At Compton, California, a model boat building pro- gram has been carried on in the elementary schools under WPA supervision. On this (Continued on page 38) 11 MODELS TRAIN YOUTH (Continued from page 11) project, begun in October, 1937, a total of 316 models has been con- structed. These range from 10-inch sloop models to 40-inch racing models. More than 150 boys and girls par- ticipated in this craft course. On this project, the boys and girls buy all of the materials used and construct the models under trained supervision with very little waste of materials and with expense kept to a minimum. The developments of activities of this type in northern California by WPA Recreation Leaders have been largely in conjunction with the established recreation departments in Oakland and Berkeley. Facilities of the Berkeley Yacht Harbor offer opportunities for sailboat construction and practice in sailing. Instructions are given to anyone interested in building a boat, and costs for materials are kept at a minimum. This program has attracted a large number of youths and adults. One of the most popular type of sailboat on this project proved to be the small catboat, eight or ten feet long. In addition to the construction of regulation size boats, models have also been built from plans furnished by the City Recreation Departments of Oakland and Berkeley. Interest in small boat building among the youth of Chicago has grown by leaps and bounds under the sponsorship of the Recreation Division of the Chicago Park District. Here, where Lake Michigan offers excellent opportunities for such activities, the City’s Recreation Division, supple- mented by personnel from the WPA, has as one of its major activities, the organization and sponsorship of junior yacht clubs. Twelve such clubs are now in operation, with a combined membership of nearly 300 boys. These clubs are organized along the same plans as adult yacht clubs, each having its Commodore, Vice-Commodore, Secretary and Treasurer. The Lake Michigan Yachting Association, which was interested in creating interest in sailing boats among the youth of the city, cooperated with the City’s Recreation Division in making possible the building of boats for these junior yacht clubs. They obtained a simplified design for a speedy little dinghy and furnished the materials necessary for the construction of twenty such craft. Under the leadership and super- vision of technically trained persons, these youthful club groups built these boats, were taught the techniques of 38 sailing and racing, and became adept at swimming, life-saving and first aid. The modified type dinghy built by these clubs is of the center board type, 10-feet in length, with a 52-inch beam and carrying 75 square feet of sail. The hulls are built of mahogany and oak, and the fittings and hardware are of bronze. Carrying out the theme of a rainbow fleet, the sails are multicolored, and each club has its own burgee in the same colors. Upon com- pletion the boats become the permanent property of the Park District and their use is limited to the junior yacht club members who have qualified to sail them and who have been active in their construction. The impetus given to small boat building by the advent of the rainbow fleet has spread to older boys and men who are desirous of building boats which they might retain as their own property. This gave rise to other clubs in which the members furnished their own materials and were given aid and instruction in construction and in the techniques of sailing by trained recreation leaders. In one such club fifteen 11-foot dinghies were built. Other types constructed included the National-One design and the Sea Gull type. In Worcester, Massachusetts, more than sixty boys are enrolled in a boatbuilding program supervised entirely by WPA recreation workers. As the boys enroll they are started on a nonsailing 12” table or radio model, which is fully equipped and rigged. If the boys show adaptability or qual- ify according to a definite standard of skill, they are permitted to work on a 25” regular sailing model for competition among younger groups. Twenty boats, built by as many youths, competed in one such model regatta which was sponsored by a large department store in the city. As the boys progress they advance to the construction of the 50-800 Marblehead Class yachts and then have the opportunity to participate in model races against other cities which have similar programs. A group of boys from this center in 1936 presented President Roosevelt with a 50800 Marblehead model which they had constructed. Under the sponsorship of the Salem Model Yacht Club, similar activities have been carried on in Salem, Massachusetts. Here, under supervision, both boys and girls have built the popular racing Marblehead models, as well as models of freighters, patrol boats, sailboats and Chinese junks. These classes in model building, be- sides providing a knowledge of boats and sailing, also lay a foundation in the use of tools and teach precision, patience and manual dexterity. In Quincy, Massachusetts, a sea- board city with twenty-seven miles of waterfront, projects giving instruction in boat building and in seamanship and navigation have been extremely popular. Among the WPA instruc’ tors are four former sea captains who have brought their experience and knowledge into good use in classes in which more than 80 boys and 100 adults have participated. The pur poses of the navigation and model building courses conducted by this ‘project are to provide a type of training which will fit trainees for posi- tions in the merchant marine service; to promote greater skill and safety in the operation of small sailing craft by private owners; and to promote among youth a type of training which will fit them for whatever future positions they may occupy. These courses in- clude not only instructions in model building but also instructions in knot tying, sailmaking, sailing, navigation, chart reading, use of the sextant, ma- riné surveying, and in the action of winds, tides and currents. Other nautical recreation programs have been operated in Gloucester, Woburn and Harwich, Massachusetts. New York City’s recreation program has operated model boat building courses for boys which have aimed at teaching an appreciation of the recreational advantages contained in such activities as well as something of the romance of ships and the part played by the early New England sailors in the development of ships and the shipping industry. These courses, which have been rather extensive, have been made up of lectures, dis-« cussions, and laboratory work. In the laboratory work the boys are taught how to build models of all types. These models have ranged from inexpensive types, requiring a minimum of materials, to more expensive models, requiring a higher degree of technical skill in their construction. Most of these have been replicas of full-scale racing models, or copies of historic ships and boats peculiar to a particular locality. Models of the Norwegian double ender type of boats used by the ships’ pilots in Norway, the Chesapeake Bay log sailing canoe, the Sovereign of the Seas, the Constitution, the Bluenose, the New York Harbor Tug, and the American Cup defenders, are some of the types which have been constructed by the boys on this project.

The following is a report of the SportsTrophy Race held at Warinanco mans Park, Elizabeth, N. J., July 29-30, under AN OPEN LETTER— FROM: Model Yachtsmen: TO: Every model yachting enthusiast: to every model yacht club: to the interested pub- lic: to the city fathers: and in particular to those in authority who have the sponsor such projects. power to The question of suitable sailing waters has always been and still is, of major importance to all model yachting enthusiasts, for the simple reason that one rarely comes by suitable sailing waters. It seems incredible that in the entire Metropolitan area of New York there is not one pond properly arranged for the racing of model yachts. Unfortunately, this is the rule rather than the exception throughout the country. ; Model Yachtsmen have to content themselves with whatever waters are available; sailing their beautifully proportioned crafts under adverse conditions—provided, in many instances, that a permit be granted for this privilege. Some lakes are surrounded by high banks that would tax the endurance of a mountaineer. Such lakes generally become quagmires along the bank, because many people, particularly boys, love to be at the water’s edge, and so parts of the bank fall into the water. For want of a proper passage the shrubbery gets broken, and this, in due time, makes the lake unsightly. Other lakes are so shallow that a great amount of time is wasted in retrieving one’s boat from the submerged flats, or trying to avoid the rocks, so ruinous to a model yacht. Trees and bushes on the banks that obstruct the wind, and marine growth that prevents the boats from sailing, tax one’s patience still further. skill, It must be remembered that model yacht racing is not child’s play. It calls for much and has developed to such a high state of efficiency that much labor and expense has been expended in the construction of those models. So it is only fair that suitable lakes should be provided wherein the full value of the sport can be demonstrated. The fact that there are so many clubs throughout the country proves there must be waters of some kind to sail in. But in making a survey all over the country, we find that the number of really good lakes, suitable for this sport, could be counted on the fingers of one hand. This is a deplorable state of affairs in a great country like ours. Most cities are at present eapending large sums of money on park improvements and recreation centers, and this, I think, would be an opportune time to approach the City Fathers and again plead our cause. he full cooperation of the powers-that-be has not been evident, except in a very few instances. ized. found Promises from those in power have been plentiful, Why this should be so, only they can tell. in the fact this has become, that and those gentlemen have not but very few have material- The most logical reason is perhaps to be yet realized what that the demand for proper sailing facilities is a fast-growing increasing. sport There are registered in the Model Yacht Racing Association of America at least sixty clubs, with others forming and ready to join, This M.Y.R.A.A. which is the governing body that controls this organized sport, is behind this drive one hundred per cent, and wishes to cooperate with those in authority by giving its technical help and advice on suitable conditions for Model Yacht racing. The gentlemen in this association know what is most suitable for this sport; the best type of bank to protect the models from getting damaged; the proper depth of water at the bank; the height the bank should be; the best kind of walkway round the lake; also the size and layout of the proposed lake, well clear of all obstructions. And should the authorities wish to go a little further and provide a house for storing the models, or even a clubhouse, valuable advice concerning this can also be given. The size of lakes should be approximately 200 by 800 feet, set so that the pre- Nib winds flow the long way. There should be no shrubbery, trees, or other obstructions bordering it. A lake that would meet all these requirements is not an expensive undertaking; it would not cost as much as many projects now developed for other sports. We have heard the contention of some authorities that the expense would not be justified because of the few who would take advantage of the project. This is rather a futile argument, because in the few districts where such a Jake has been constructed, they have proved to be very popular. New clubs have been formed, and much enjoyment has been given to the model yachtsmen and the general public who are interested in watching this fascinating sport. Is an attractive lake not an asset to any locality or public park? Would it not be a boon to old and young, by providing an ideal place for winter sports? Lakes constructed for model sailing would preserve the other lakes that have been developed as part of some landscaping. These other lakes would then have a chance to blend into the rustic surroundings as was intended, and not have their banks converted into mud heles and the shrubbery broken, as previously mentioned. So wake up, America. We are bored of hearing what other countries have done for this sport. Surely, we are not going to lag behind for want of cooperation from the proper authorities. Surely they will grant our request and make this country the leader in yet another healthy sport.
