Three hundred and five models were shown. Members of the Bay State Ship Model Club had a beautiful display of ships, barks, brig, Spanish galleon, Felucca Viking ship, Sub-chaser and the cup defender Ert!erpr!.se. A fine collection of water colors by their gifted A.B., Guy Mellgren, added much to the attractiveness of this exhibit. David P. Brown had a display case of exquisitely finished ship fittings and also his model of the FJyi.ng Cloud which won first prize in Popular Wagner’s Class A from Gloucester. Pigeon showed the Bcat]ere!!e last years Boston Challenger for the Marblehead cup. F. C. Simpson of Winthrop had the fil.st boat from the new Potter design for the Marblehead Class. This boat created a sensation among the fans in that class and was much admired by Tom Rice, one of the judges. This was a beautiful piece of worlrmanship, the boat is exceptionally attractive in design so it is no surprise that she attracted so much attention. L. C. Phillips from New London, Conn. had a five foot model of the Enferpr®.se which was a fine piece of work. This was Mr. Phillips’ first .exhibit and his first model.

C., probable scene of the forthcoming 1933 National Regatta. The action shown in the drawing consist.s of two gently heeled miniature yachts on the starboard tack, beating to windward and victory at the other end of the pool for one of them, probably the one pointing high in the weather position. Within the covers of this booklet, I find sixteen pages of highly entertaining read- ing matter, and I read every word of it and wish that there might be sixteen more pages. I find splendid designs from the boards of the foremost designers of the world, instructive data on building, finishing and rigging models, news of what model men in other clubs have been doing, rating rules fol` classes recently adopted, racing results, humorous anecdotes of model “nuts” in other states. bringing consolation in the thought that we are all crazy together. For twelve issues of this magazine I pay Editor Brown two dollars – and the only reason I am not being entertained with more pages and have not always received the paper promptly, is because most of you subscribers loan your copies to other club members instead of insisting that they cough up two bucks to Mr. Brown.

That is true – to a baseball fan or golfer – but to you it is worth all of that, and if it wasn’t you would stop bol.rowing your Commodore’s copy every time it arrives, and spend sixteen cents an issue in order to perpetuate the only means we have in this country of keeping model fans in touch with each other and the latest developments in the sport.

At the mid-winter meeting of the Saugatuck (Michigan) Mc)del Yacht Club, the members who al`e building new models brought with them their creations in various stages of construction, the exchange of ideas proving of mutual benefit to all. Tom Batenburg, well known midwestern skipper, and Secretary DeLong of the Grand Rapids club, attended the meeting, the former displaying his new A boat, Angosy, with which he hopes this year to retain the Saugatuck Gold Bowl, won by him last year with Ivep!Hne. Both praised the workmanship of the 14 membel.s who are building models for the frst time, 12 of whom have chosen the 50-800 inch Marblehead class for their maiden effort, while 2, Moffat Bird and Billy Wilson are building "A",s. Because of the wealth of Indian tradition surrounding the history of Saugatuck, names for the yachts will be taken from the tongue of the Ottawa tribe, and the skippers are all hoping that the boats can be sailed more readily than theil` names can be pronounced. As most of the Marble heads are being built from the Shoanboci! design, racing will test the skill of the skippers in much the same way as the ` `one design' ' racing of major yachts, and some splendid sport is anticipated as soon as the ice is out of Saugatuck Bay. Building in this class are; Walter Scott, John Bird, Harry Costello, Harry Walker, Maurice Herbert, Her.bert Waltman, Moffat Bird, John Barron, Jr., Harold Calbetzor, Erle Hill, Sr., Charles Bil.d Ill, and James Sewers.

DECKER, The Shipmodelers After a hectic week at the Sportsman's Show we can now look astern and try to figure out what it was all about. In the first place the Pay State Ship Model Makers Club wishes tct thank Skipper Pigeon for his courtesy and also his inter.est in the safety and protection of our models. Under his watchful eye they all came through the storm of hot air and busy fingers and elbows with very little damage. We marveled that the sailing models in their expctsed positions came through so well subject as they were to hundreds of elbows and coat tails. In the absence of Mr. Pigeon the deck was in charge of Mr. BI.own and we wish also to thank him for his watchfulness and courtesy. If any of the readers of " Model Yachting" or their friends would care to visit our Clnb we will be glad to welcome them.

GUY MELLGREN, A. 8. YACHTING Grand Traverse M. y. C. With Robert Linsley as first commander the senoir division of the Grand Traverse Model Yacht club was organized at the Park Place Hotel Monday night. Other officers include Gordon Pharo as vice-commodore and Clyde Bennett as secretary-treasurer. It developed at the meeting that model Yacht building is a great depression spol.t. Four model Yachts in various stages of construction, were on exhibition at the hotel during the meeting and inquil.y bl.ought out the fact that a complete model yacht of the Mal`blehead class, 50 inches overall, cost only about $2.50 t,o complete. The senior division will have 30 of this class ready for the early spring sailing. At the business meeting a committee consisting of Chal.les Klepac as chairman and A. P. Eva and Clyde Bennett was named to draw up a set of by-laws which will be presented for discussion and appl.oval at the next meeting which will be held at the Park Place next Monday night at 7.30 o'clock. These by-laws will probably include an annual membership fee of a dollar to be used largely in affiliating with the national association. Provision will also be made for summel` membel`ships in the club inasmuch as several inquiries from summer guests have already been received. When the ice clears from the bay and lakes of the region the Grand Travel.se Model Yacht Club will have a total of WATER COLORS lf you would like a water-color painting of your model yacht to hang in your home or club, you can obtain one 6x9 in. copied [rom your photo by sending list of colors on your model with it.

Men of the senior division of the club already have 17 boats under construction and the high school manual training group has a dozen mol`e under way.

The by-laws were adopted and various committees named. The executive committee includes Robert Linsley, Gordon Pharo and Clyde Bennett, club officers, and C. 8. Curt,is and Roy Hammond. The committee in charge of the club races is made up of Dr. J. Kent Wright, W. G. Comstock and Irving Murray. The blue prints, patterns and construction plans are in charge of Gordon Pharo and Robert Linsley. Among the interesting features of this week's meeting was the display of the yacht being built by W. G. Comstock. It is an excellent example of yacht planking as differentiated from the solid construction. It is planned to publish a column of club news in the Record-Eagle each week containing news of interest to the model yacht builders.

With an extremely light wind coming from South Southeast, the model pulled away from the tender in the direction of Point Fel`min. This course was kept for about two hours, which brought her about one-half a mile East of the Point and three and a half miles South. At this point the wind began to back in to the Southard and the little craft was put on the Starboard tack, and here she showed her ability to foot. This course was followed for the space of about three hours, wheD the wind began to back into the West, and in the short space of half an hour the velocity had increased from four knots to eight knots, or more. The model was put about on the port tack, which was Charmer held for half an hour, when it was deemed we had made Westing enough, and she was put back on the starboard tack. Not a vestige of land in sight, our faithful compass showed that Avalon was straight ahead, and about twelve miles or more away, as near as we could judge. For two hours and more this course was kept, and as the seas piled up and the wind increased, the sun dipped behind the horizon and we got a first glimpse of Catalina Island. We noted that owing to the splendid windward work of the Charmer, it was necessary to ease off the main sheets and give her a little rudder, in order to make the entrance to that “Harbor of Peace” with which Avalon is blessed. 7 During one of the many adjustments which had to be made by putting on increased power on our tender, Fhe Joy, to get along side of the model, the Catalim Island Passenger Steamer changed her course and came dow.n upon us to ascertain if we were in trouble, and upon there being no distress signals displayed on our craft, put back on her course and proceeded to Catalina. It was now within half an hour of darkness, except a ray of light once in a while emanating from the moon, yet too young to send forth a light that could in anyway be of help to us. Just before dark a magnificent schooner yacht bore down on us to inquire if we were in distress, and being assured that we were not, proceeded on her course. Then came the Sea Plane and hovered over our heads, so close that we could almost hear the Pilot’s voice yell out, “Are you all right”; perhaps he could not hear our answer, but could he have done so, he would have heard praises of the most generous kind pass between the two Commodores. Certainly, true sportmanship on the part of the Steamer Captain, the owner of the schooner and also the Pilot of the Plane. Darkness was now upon us, not a light could be seen but the glow of Avalon and on the occasional passing boats of the sword fishing fleet. At this time it was most important that the Cfeormcr be not lost sight of for one moment, as the difrlculty in locating her again in such weather and practically in total darkness except from the rays of our spotlight, which had been rigged on the port side of the troy amidships, would be great indeed. At this point we had been along side the model and renewed a main sheet, which was by no means an easy matter in such seas, the crests of which were breaking over both tendel. and model. As with all engine driven craft, what was feared happened: our engine went dead; the Charmer was alone on the “Great Pacific” bucking a nasty sea, with sails rap full and sailing away from us at tel.rific speed, she had gone from our vision and into the dark black night With the easy going precision with which my friend Phillips is gifted, the little engine soon I)egan to turn over our “eggbeater” and the Jay was on the course at full speed.

We Understand That:Ted Leclerc, Marlborc>’s prominent designel. of yachts and models has been busy on the lines of several of the so called “Suicide Class”. Mr. Leclerc is one of the few who have successfully gone to sea in a FZocoer Pol and after his experience in the squall last fall we feel that he is well qualified to produce something sensational for the above fleet. Certain of the Marblehead skippers are planning super-sensitive telltales for their 50’s. The new alibi is one of the best we have heard, the claim being that on Lake Quannapowitt it is most difficult to tell the direction of the wind. That’s a good one, and certainly is original.

Linsley, Traverse City, Mich. wl.ites that ih addition to the forty-four Marblehead Class boats building for their local racing, ten more are reported from Northport. Several of the leading skippel`s of the large racing yachts at Marblehead have enrolled as members of that organization. One of the most famous racing skippers in the East signed on at last meeting. This man has spent a fortune on experimental sails and rigs on racing yachts so the boys should have plenty of worth while dope available. Roy Clough has received his racing number fl.om Fred Pigeon.

Marblehead M. y. C. Dear Sir : Well, fellows, the date is set. On Saturday and Sunday, July 8 and 9, 1933, the Marblehead Perpetual Challenge Cup races will be held. As will be noticed, these dates come directly following the National races at Washington, and the Mal.blehead Model Yacht Club is hoping that every club that participates at Washington will make the trip to our old town. The cup races this year loom up as the biggest small boat event in the country, and the members here are making arrangements to give you one of the best times you have ever had. What a fight, fans. what a fight. The BattlercaLme tearing out of his cornerwith the bell, grimly determined to even uphis loss of the first round to Kid Depression. All the old guard are with the B;ttler heart and soul which seems to have put new life into the old boy. He is givingthe fans a great run for their money and it looks now as though this boy Depression was going to take a licking. The fans are giving Battling Brown a great hand for his surprising come-back. it looks like past experience will carry the Battler through. Coming up for Round Three I As was our custom last year, the club will entertain free of all expenses, while in Marblehead, a skipper and mate from each club entering a boat. At this point I want to bring to your attention the enclosed deed of gift of the cup. Each club may enter one boat as its repl.esentative in these cup races. All challenges for these races must be postmarked not later than Jurne94, 4933. The races last year created some great racing between Staten Island, Boston, Prospect Park and Marblehead, the final standing giving Boston 23, Marblehead 23, Staten Island 22 and Prospect Park 13. Marblehead won the sail-off with Boston, so don’t let any one tell you that you haven’t a chance on Red’s Pond. Come along, and bring all your members; it is going to be a grand and glorious time and should not be missed by any model yachtsman who can possibly be here. Just drop us a Hne about what time we may expect you and how many, and we promise you a time that you will not forget for many years to come.

JUST ONE MORE LITTLE subscription, please. DESIRING to give our readers the best designs, we could think of no one more capable than Mr. C. 0. Liljegren, designer of the Westward. In response to our letter he replied :” I have already made some studies of this class, and feel sure to be able to make a design for you faster even than that of 77’esjnya[yd. ” ” I have got a sim|)le rudder and steering gear for this model which does not necessitate fitting a pipe through the hull – alwDays easier. The sail I)lan too, will be different, and like a plan I made many years ago, except it will be higher now. ‘ ‘ This sounded good to us, and we were delighted to receive the following reply to our second letter:”Replying to yours of Jam 30. I have just finished calculating the dimensions of the 50-800 model for you, and may say that it will be a much better design than Wesjnyord in her way. The new model will look like a thoroughbred American model from keel to truck. and should be, in my opinion, the fastest boat in her class. I do wish someone might build her at once, the plans will be ready in a week or two, early enough for your March issue. Most men wait until March, you know, to build their models. I should send advance notice to all pros|)ects and to the Secretaries of all known yacht clubs, and perhaps you have already done so. Just state that I am designing it s|)ecially for your paper. , , Mr. Liljegren showed us a sketch of the body plan at the Sportsmans Show. A few days later he wrote:Shall send you the tracings of the 50-800 model in a day or two. All calculations are complete, and the lines show the fastest model that I ever designed. She is sharp as a razor, will make just as little resistance, and will I)lane when running or reaching at a tremendous speed in anything except the lightest breezes. On the other hand, she lias got the smallest possible wetted surface for her displa.cement which mea,ns that she will be very fast in light airs too. The only question about her is the stability in strong winds but she will need two suits o.f sails anyway, perhaps several, and it is always possible to increase her lead keel without increasing her resistance. In any case she will be as stiff as any model that has won the Cup in later years, and that should suffice. Yours very truly, C. 0. Liljegren We now have the tracing and can send blue prints, postage paid, for $2 for full size body plan, $1 for the sail plan. We feel sure this design will create great interest. She is different, the sail plan is unique. It is worth the price just for a peek at this example of Mr. Liljegren’s genius. DON’T MISS THE APRIL ISSUE ! Model Yachting uE Lr lE RI ill E hD!
