It is rather a tall order to be asked to write an article on the above subject, but as the Editor of jl4odez a smile, and told us to “watch our step” in a year or so, as he would .surely come over and give us a scare. In 1926, John Black skippered Bosfo”6¢ J, and there was a fi.esh entry in the shape of Mar8.o7a”e I of France. Mr. Tottrup of Denmark also came back with a new boat, attempt to give some personal opin- Da7a¢ JJJ.’ The British defender was ions on this question.

The British tor, “Don’t be afraid to say wliat you boat was a sister of the J„z)¢der, think.” which carried off the Cup in 1923. yc}cbt67!g has set me the task, I will Well, America first participated in the International A Class races in 1925, when Joe Weaver brought SZ8.ppcr across. The defender of the cup was Mr. Scott Freeman’s Cr”s¢der, designed, built and sailed by W. J. Daniels. Now SZ6pper was not a good boat, but Joe Weaver handled her extremely well and got all that he could out of her. SZ6ppcr was built far too light and was different bilaterally, end whilst she would just about go into irons on one tack, on the other she would broad reach away. She had no ability to find her head when the wind headed her. The race was a gift for C’r”Sader, and there is little more to say about it than that. Joe Weaver, good sportsman that he is, took his defeat with With all due respect to John Black, who sailed very well, the American skipper was up against two more experienced men in Captain Lazell and Mr. Tottrup. His boat was also not so good as either Dc¢a”oc or Da)”a! I.JJ. When the Danish boat retired and forfeited all the points she had gained, Do7aa was only a few points behind Dc¢a7acc, and the result was still in doubt. The very fact that the race had now become a four-cornered fight also made conditions more difficult for John Black. The more boards to be sailed, the greater the chance of mistakes, and the greater experience of two of his opponents told a tale. Down wind Boslom8.a} was quite as fast as Dc¢a}mcc and picked up many points, but Dc¢¢„oe always 2 MODEL had her cold when it came to windward work. The D¢„¢ was the fastest boat of the lot on a reach, and there was a good deal of reaching work that `year. It may be said, however, that Bosto„6a7 was a very great improvement on SZ8.pper, and the final scores were a very fair representation of her merit in comparison with the British boat. The following year, the competitors were Bosfo„6a JJ, skippered by John Black; Mor6a7&roe JJ (France), and B€rz67a (Germany), whilst Britain was represented by Gcrtrc4de, owned and skippered by a young Gosport lad of eighteen. Age was no detriment to Ronnie Jurd’s performance, as he is a Gosport boy who spent all his spare time at the lake. Gcrfrccde was desigried and built by Dr. Thompson. During the Selection Races we had mainly hardish winds, with plenty of windward work. Windward work in a blow was the British boat’s strong suit, and in the International Races we had very little true windward work of the nose-ender variety. If we had had more, the British score would have been better. As it happened, a good deal of the race was sailed in lightish winds, which suited Basfo7a6fl JJ very well. Even at low speeds this boat threw a very peculiar stern wave and there was a bad boil through her fin opening. At high speeds, this was more pronounced, and she was inclined to run off the wind. That the wind drew ahead the last afternoon proved the British boat’s salvation, and the fact that it also freshened helped her considerably. Generally speaking, it was not a satisfactory test of all-round sailing. YACHTING (Britain). To my mind, Pafsgr was built three pounds too light in the hull and gear. I have seen some of the American writers say that it does not matter how light an International competitor is built, as she has only to last long enough to bring the Cup home. In my opinion, a boat built this style will never take the Cup home. She has to last long enough to be tuned up properly, to sail through your Selections, make the journey over here and then stand up to strenuous days of International Racing. Our Official Measurer, who has an eye like a hawk, pointed out to me that Pa!!Sgr was not bilaterally alike. As she sat on the measuring machine, I could see it. Now that boat actually performed differently on the two tacks to a marked extent, but Joe Weaver mastered this peculiarity, probably by some jugglery with the “link” on his special pattern steering gear. Actually> I should not be surprised to find that her hull, if pushed upright, in still water had a tendency to go to starboard. Nor would it surprise me if I heard that her skipper had given her helm a little bias to counteract this so as to prevent her falling off when on the port tack. Now consider what actually happ.ened. In the last board P¢fSgr kept to windward of I;£}Zc IVGZZ right down the lake. Both the boats were laying up nicely for the line, with the American boat several boats’ lengths ahead and to windwaf d and travelling well. There was a sudden break in the wind. As the wind left her, Pa££gr’S head came up. They were on the port tack and her head swung half a point to port. Lc:t£Ze IVcZZ likewise lost the wind, but paid off a trifle. When the wind came again, your boat was almost In 1928, Joe Weaver came across with Pci£Sgr. Let me at once say that I think, considering the boat, Mr. Weaver’s performance was simply magnificent. He was up against Pa€Sgr was too small a boat under the Argo rule, but as it happened there were (France) and Little Nell head to wind, whilst L5t£Ze JVcZZ was roaring full and ramped through her lee. Frankly, I also thought that MODEL YACHTING simply paltry winds almost throughout the races. This enabled her to do well with the biggest sail spread of any of the competitors. On his sailing on the last afternoon, Joe Weaver thoroughly deserved to win. He was calm and cool throughout, and sailed a great race, but he had not a good enough boat for the job. Had the winds been more normal and with a fair proportion of good wholesail nose-end work, I think that we had at least six boats in the shed,that were better. 3 designed craft, but badly different bilaterally and her skipper lacked experience. Emm.ey was dangerous until the wind freshened, but then became unmanageable. Argo was always dangerous down wind. The British representative was 14jb8.o„, designed, built and sailed by W. J. Daniels, and owned by Messrs. Daniels and Harvey. The British chainpionship was held in a very heavy wind, and this suited 4Zbio„ admirably, as she was a really fine performer in bad weather. The International started in a nice wind which freshened to a whole-sail breeze and then to a full gale. 4Zb5o„ went ahead from the start, and the harder it blew, the more pronounced was her superiority, particularly to windward. I wrote a criticism of the bozLts for The Model Yacht zLt the time, and have little to add to that, but I still repeat that BoSto7a6¢ JJJ seemed to me very lean and drawn out in her ends, and that I did not think that her heeled displacement curve would have been altogether satisfactory, as she would have shown too much in the middle and too lean in the ends. 4cc a/ C/#4s, designed by I.

Now on his third visit to us Black gave a very different display to his previous visits, and on Now your Editor asks me what type of boat I think stands the best chance of lifting the Cup. Well, firstly, you have to send as good and experienced a skipper in pond sailing as either Joe Weaver or John Black. Secondly, you have got to send the boat.

I do not care for the semi- 4 MODEL fin type. The sail-plan would go the limit in height and about 2597o or a shade less of the total area would be in the jib. I should fit Braine gear, as it is the most amenable to match sailing on ponds. YACHTING THE AMERICAN CHALLENGER February 25, 1930. The Editor, Model Yachting. Dear Sir: The time is rapidly nearing when the Oh, yes! and about that midship section, it would be round as an Model Yacht Racing Association of America will face the problem of finding apple, and I should not worry about unduly dragging out the ends to get ::Eeernas`esh:fnf::di.::Ll:;st.toEndge,irnady,atE: back, of the yacht and skipper that will a few inches of extra overall length.

Indeed, conmatch, that is the boat to gamble on. sidering the days still left, the few folIt is seldom that for three days the lowing the sport, and the amount to be winds at Gosport are as paltry as raised, it might be said the hour is very they were in 1928 or as heavy as 1929. Whether such a boat would get through in your trials, which are very often held in light weather, is hard to say. I have formed the opinion that though 14ZZ)!oca was a better all-round boat than Bosto7ae.a, she was a trifle on the hefty side, and I expect this year’s Daniels’ boat to be a trifle smaller and have rather more canvas. And finally, I should not attempt to get the weight of hu’il, spars and gear below 10 lbs. I I imagine that many will like to cross swords with me on many of thcpoints raised above, but the A Class rule is one which it is no use trying to drive a freak through, as it calls for a normal and healthy boat. Victory will be attained by a craft of normal dimensions, and sweetness of form is what will count in the long run. It’s the Sport That Counts They say I’m a rotten skipper. A fact, I admit as true, But if I finish a race In the very last place, I have just as much sport as you. True friends seldom demand favors. late. In past years it has been the custom for the M. Y. R. A. to a)8fo each member club to donate $50.00 toward this fund. This is in addition to the regular yearly dues of $10.00, and was regarded as an entirely voluntary contribution. With ten active member clubs this fund (if ever raised) would just about cover the cost. (I forget what the actual cost has been in recent years.) However, there have not been ten active member clubs; a lesser number have participated in the elimination trials to pick the Challenger yacht; and still fewer have participated in this fund~at least to the extent of the required Fifty Bucks. It has, therefore, been necessary for some individual officer to make up the deficit from his own Bg]Ceke:=hfi°npjn%n:i:hT::asrue|fb¥:sue]dhib= later. I need not mention the name of the modest man who has generally dug into his pocket-but I believe the Association still is in his debt for some little amount. I believe that last year’s fund was finally collected. However, it is an imposition to rely upon one man, and one to be avoided. There are several individual members of the Association, but their annual dues do not amount to much. Efforts have been made in the past to enlist the pocketbooks of yachtsmen and others likely to be friends, who may not be Fh:dev]aT::’obfutthTsh:p#ty]:eta:]etr::n{S:: of youngsters for the yacht fleets and in stirring up interest in the Big Game. As a general thing these efforts came to naught-but I believe that a real and MODEL YACHTING concerted effort to enlist such men would be productive. At a recent meeting of the Washington M. Y. C. the writer suggested a resolution, which was passed and referred to the Association, favoring an assessment of Fifty Dollars on every club 5 h:in from the $50.00 participation? The club to which the chosen yacht belongs should also be expected to raise more than this amount, and it should be possible to waylay local pride for such additional pal.ticipation. participating in the Elimination Trials- A small amount of this fund, and of the slight expenses of the Association, can also be raised by a fee for the regis- tw.hwa:risFs::erii¥tohreta=t:nw:E:ge:etfaite£ tration of ever.y Six Meter yacht-and I think there should be such, with a limitation in every race in the class-club or inter-club or Association -prohibiting participation by any non-registered yacht. Attempts have been made in the same to be deposited before club entries can participate in the races. This would insure a certain amount of the fund and, least a part of the necessary fund would be ready for him before sailing for England. Last year MI.. Black did not know until the very last second that the money would be forthcoming; and the fund was not entirely made up until long after he was back-months. It would seem to me that clubs in yachting centers should be able to scratch up contributions from the yachtsmen, possibly from some of the clubs. A concel.ted “drive” should be made by all pal.ties, to get the money. The clubs should be asked to state, immediately, how much they can dona,te~and the funds should be promised by a certa:n date and actually paid up. On the other hand, the pleasure of going abroad should be enough to warrant the contribution of a considerable part of the expense on the part of the man chosen. Indeed, I should favor the elimination of our trial races entirely, in favor of naming some chap with a good boat who is in the position to pay all the expense-if there be such. The eso.00 entry fee (for such it actually is) as proposed, would entitle each club to enter the same two yachts it is otherwise entitled to have in the Trials. While this would entail some considerable expense on clubs far away from the place chosen for these races, it is nevertheless equitable. For, if a yacht came from far away, it would be with the hope of being sent to England. This yacht would expect to have its expenses paid across the Atlantic, and would expect the Association to find the money. The plea of high cost in going to the place of the Trials should not be made to excuse non-participation in the Gosport fund. I am in complete sym- P:t:gmweit:i::gm3fsetlamn::TthocynosTi:rhaab[: expense to himself and his club-but the fact remains that if chosen he would still expect the other clubs to contribute to his travel fund.

She is a sweet and powerful craft; and I believe Moore has redrawn her lines to make her more effective in the latter class. Mr. Thompson is now building, from the latter lines, a planked up model that should show her heels to most of the contenders.)

Y. C. fleet. The gear consists of a spoon shaped tiller about five inches long, the spoon is approximately one inch across, the rudder post is in approximate center of tiller. The diameter of the spoon regulates the arc of the rudder swing all,d si,ice making this sketch I notice’the spoon is more diamond shaped, that is, the taper aft is more gradual. 7 In the racing last season Mr. Courtis gained seconds on his competitors with this gear, invariably his boat was under way before the others had completed their adjustments. The gear will be on several of the new boats this season. As far as the writer knows the gear has been test.ed on nothing larger than a 43 inch model of about seven pounds displacement, but I cin see no reason why it would not be equally successful on larger models. If I can steal the time I am going to try it out on an R boat of 20 lbs. dis. TOP V’EW Spoon shaped part of tiller should be toward the bow. Under the spoon opening is a pin rack with holes 1/8 inch apart to take a pin which controls the amount of rudder the boat may require. With the pin in the forward hole the rudder is straight for windward work. The main sheet runs from the eye on the after end of the tiller through boom ring and is fastenedby pin itiholes alongthe boom. If you like a loose rudder for windward work the forward end of the spoon may be widened to allow the amount of play you like. With this gear there is only one sheet, and one rudder adjustment. Changing from a windward to a leeward course the pin is moved aft to the desired hole, the sail pulls the tiller over until the inside rim of the spoon opening binds on the pin. fhneT?tinmiissthisp3?ebT?aouTehileeE:eisnpto#i:g to shovel snow.

YACHTING Boats are human; they have personality; every model has its moods and caprices that must be humored if we are to get the most out of them. There never yet has been a boat that could not be improved by slight changes here and there, often changes that a careless skipper thinks too trivial to bother with. The difference between a master and a mediocre skipper is just the degree to which either is willing to go in studying and fussing with his model. We skippers of average ability who lack the knack of grasping each little detail of smart sailing may acquire it by persistent practice and observation. We should not expect to beat the experts; if we give them a race we have done well. We can, however, profit by our own mistakes and heed their advice. Careful tuning up of your model will be a liberal education in the art of handling. Make changes gradually; do not jump from one extreme to the other. Such tactics defeat your own ends. A model properly tuned up is a joy to own and sail, even in defeat. An erratic performer will ruin your moral,e .

PIGEON, demon skipper, and secretary extraordinary of the Boston Model Yacht club. Mr. Pigeon has done some great work for the sport in the East, much of the success of the Boston Club has been due to his untiring efforts. Many of the progressive steps regarding National rules and activities have had his able assistance. He is a man of action rather words, although he has been known to make speeches on occasion, both studied and extemporaneous. He probably is best known as a model crooner. He must have a very entertaining repertoire he sings while sailing for his boats are generally pretty well up to the top of the class.

C. The Chicago Model Yacht Club was organized about a year and a half ago with eight charter members. The present 13 the aquatic sports of the Exposition. Let us hope that the Yachting Monthly Cup will be in this country at that time and can be raced for at Chicago that year. membership consists of fourteen active members with several junior members. A large percentage of the membership consists of Sea Scouts, which helps to keep the club active. The sport of model yachting lost one of its best friends with the death of Mr. Thos. Drysdale last fall. Mr. Drysdale was 72 years old and was the dean of the sport in Chicago. He was one of the founders of the Ogden Park Model Yacht The club had a very active season last year with club races twice a month f ron the time the ice was off the pond in the 8]aucbh’tac|:b,Laotferwh°£€ht:Leubc#:C:gfoMn:doei Spl.ing until it f roze over in the Fall. Two members wel.ei sent to the National Races at Washington, and although they did not bring back any prizes, they brought back ideas on boats, rigs and bow races were conducted in the East, and also established contacts with Eastei.n men interested in the sport which will prove of great value to all of us. Class A boats are the most popular in t,his club, there being 12 of this class now in the club, and 10 more being built. Several Class 8 boats have been remodelcd to fit Class A requirements. There are also several 30″ models among the younger members, and quite a number of `ihe 42″ Sea Scout Models will make their the most active members at the time of his death. He built three Class A boats last year, the third being nearly completed when he died. He was a desig.ner as well as builder, and his high grade of workmanship was an inspiration to all of us. He was a most kindly man, a great friend of the younger men and boys who showed an interest in the sport and was always ready to give counsel and advice to all who sought it. H:s loss will be felt for a long time around the pond in Ogden Park. His f amily has expressed a desire to present a perpetual cup to the club to perpetuate his name and to encourage the sport which he loved so well. J. 8. BERGESON. appearance on the pond this Spring. Mr. Tom Molloy has offered his Class A Jxpi`Uf er as a prize for a race to be sailed this Spring open to all Sea Scouts of Chicago with 30″ models. This should st:mulate interest among the boys of the city and get them interested in this fascinating sport. The sai:ing pond in Ogden Park which is now used by the Chicago Model Yacht Club and the Ogden Pal.k Model Yacht Club is small and not suitable for sailing. This condition will be remedied this coming Summer when the new sailing pond will be completed which the South Park Commissioners are building in the new lake fi.ont park at the foot of 51st Stl.eet. This pond will be 500 feet long and 300 feet wide, and will be used exclusively for sailing model yachts. It will include all the latest ideas as to construction and location and, we believe, is the fil’st pond in the country to be built and used pul.ely as a pond for model yacht sailing. ‘I`his pond will be completed and in good condition for the National Elimination Races to be sailed in this city in 1931, and the International race in 1933 in connection with the Century of Progress Exposition. Plans are now under way to have a race of this kind included in MR. PAYNE RESIGNS Mr. A. W. Payne has resigned as secretary of the Model Yacht Racing Association of America and requests that readers address their correspondence to some official whose address may be found in the club dil.ectory on page sixteen. OUR COVER PICTURE Shows the Class 8 model Vcz777P, design- ed and built by Jim Potter. Mr. Potter expects to remodel this boat to race in Class A this season. NATIONAL TRIAL RACES The National Elimination races to select the American Challenger to Send to England for the yczcfe/g.»g Mo”Jfezy C24jt, will be held in Boston, June 26th, 27th, 28th. Races willbe sailed from the bank.

This March issue should have been twenty pages. The April number will have twenty pages if just a few more will kick in with two bucks. Norman Skene has sent us a design for a 22 in. model that is a little peach. Looks like one of the Class S yachts boiled down to “la modele. ” Construction secrets, gadgets, interesting text, jingles and nut stuff to brighten up some dark cabin corner will help make April interesting. If you want twenty pages send along the “subs” so I can buy plenty of paper. DO IT NOW! There’8 a saying trite and true, YACHTING The real reason so many barbers talk so much is because so many customers like to be talked to. A man may be willing to “take a chance’ ‘ who is unwilling to be taken by chance. Another reform the auto has accomplished is to abolish the company “parlor. ” Folks who once hunted a “sparking” place now are more interested in finding a parking Space.
