The workmanship in the Montclair boats is above the average. The skippers are worhing under one serious handicap in racing, the boats have to be rigged and stripped for each days racing as no building is available at the pond. One of t.he fleet is a Class 8 boat designed by “Billy” Atkin. This big hull has been remodeled, fitted what looks like a jury rig, so she rates in the D class. It is surprising to see how well this big boat performs with her tiny sails. Before long, maybe at Chicago, we will see an entry from the Montclair Model Yacht Club. YACHTING M. y. R. A. of A.

This is done, if necessary, after the hull is taken from the molds, and before the sheer plank is put on, which will be explained in detail when we come to it. Although not absolutely necessary, I like to rib the boats evenly. C.ne oli the port side, its mate on the starboard. This :nsures any possible twist t+rough uneven pull of the ribs as they dry. Plate XII shows the hull with ribs in place. One snug against e.ach mold, one between each mold. Thl.ee inches, center to center. Note the ribs are I.usi.de the battens. The frame is now ready for planking. There are several good woods for planking. Mahogany, Spanish cedar and cedar are the best. White pine was for many years first choice but is being used less each year. White pine cut thin as it has to be for model planking “works” too much. Models planked with this wood, out of the water for a week or two in hot weather, will generally leak badly. They swell up tight quickly, but this leakage increases with age as does the time required for them to swell up. If you must use white pine put your planks on narrow. Not over 34 in. wide. Whatever wood is used, do not ha`re it cut over % in. wide. Narrow planking will give you a “fairer” hull as the narrow planks take tr.e curve of the boat more readily with Jcss curve in the planking itself. My choice of wood for planking is cedar, it is lightest and in my boats “works” less than any other wood. I have had hulls laid up from one season to the next, with no moisture in them that would not even show a crack in the painted seams. Have your planking stock cut }€ in. thick x 94 in. wide and about 6 in. longer than your model is on deck. Get the clearest stock you can with the straightest PLATE XI MODEL YACHTING grain.

This he lets the members sail on the lake, and in this way keeps the spirit going and at the same time gives the boys instruction in sailing. These future modelmen will, I’m sure, find the Sea Scout class easy to build and best suited to their purpose. I have an idea that as there is little (what Northerners call) winter in Atlanta, their season will begin as soon as they finish their models. Assurance was given last issue that information as to the whereabouts of a certain Delaware M. Y. C. would be forthcoming in the following issue. They have been found, and have been turned over to the proper authorities. A full report of the proceedings of the trial and eye-witness accounts of their activities follow. Without a doubt, the D. M. Y. C. was the most active Junior M-Y organization in 1931. To be sure, Los Angeles pulled off their usual record-breaker of 600 entries in their annual schoolboy regatta. But that was only one event, and under no continued organization. Under the modest guidance of their Commodore, Robert •”Li recognized Junior clubs will be in some way eligible. But that will be developed later. Bob Eastburn has c’ertainly put his club on the map, Internatiomlly, Nationally and on his city map. In the latter he has procured the assistance of the Board of Park Commissioners of Wilmington who have co-opgrated in every way. Also the Ivert7s-JOHrncIZ of Wilmington gave a Cup, as has als. Earl T. Hughes. The season of the D. M. Y. C. opened June 22nd with twenty-one entries: 7 in Class 8,14 in the A class. It may be explained that Class A is for models 42 in. or less in length over all, while Class 8 is 25 in. or less. Sfez!o, shippered by Nowland Whitesell, won in Class 8 under a perfect breeze in this first day’s racirig which was held in the morning. In Class A there were thl.ee heats. The first heat was taken by the Prcopec! of Edward Van Sent; the second won by Crys!az skippered by Bob Eastburn; and the third heat was captured by Comet, owned by Harold Jester. These three winners sailed off in a deciding fourth heat, and Crysta)I emerged the winner. After \1_ ,, MODEL YACHTING, the two class races, a free-for-all was held, in which the Prospee! proceeded to the finish line with prodigious proclivity to procure the prize. Incidents worth-while noting, during 1,he season were among these. On June 24th’s race which was held in the morning, one of the members (I dare not incriminate myself, therefore the unlucky one’8 name will not be divulged) fell in the pool while tending his model. But the most important thing was the fact that a girl was entered in the races-Jean Eastburn, Bob’s sister. She entered a beautiful model, the Badinri!, and came in consistently, taking third place (thereby getting in on the prizes) in class A of that day’s racing. Congratulations! 7 searchlights for the racing. Although it is centrally I.cated, the oond t`as been found unsuited for more advanced competition, and Ex-Commodore Eastburn is trying hard for a new sailing station where conditions will be more agreeable for the larger classes being introduced there. Because of the limited c.urse, the sailing is done someayho! as in Sam Francisco M. Y. C., which is that method of oneway-sailing. In this, it requires a double sheet line and a double rudder spring. (I would like to explain these terms here now, but have not the space nor complete details from the club as to their working, but will write them up in the future). The designer of half these models (that means Start of Open Class, Community Service Regatta, Cambridge, Mass. It was announced in the Wilmington papers of June 25th that Commodore Eastbum was to give a special exhibition sailing of his Jris, 6 metre model. The Morni.rag Iveus states that it is a “. . . gigantic model yacht measuring 62# in. in length . . . the yacht carries a sail plan of 2,loo sq. in., and carries 31 pounds of lead in the keel. It measures 13# in. at the beam.” And truly this was an exhibition, for six hundred persons viewed the sailing and the regular racing as well. It may be interesting to know that this event took place at about 9 P.M., and also that a visiting Junior modelman was entered in Class A events, Andrew Freck with his model Are F., from Philadelphia. It is well to mention that the regular course of the D. M. Y. C. is on the Price Run Pool. Across and back consists the course of one heat. As you may know, the club has a good part of their racing done at 9 P.M. and the Park Board sets up about` 2.5 or more) is Ex-Commodore Bob, who has done some very good work at his board (besides bringing up the whole sport in that territory) and he has also developed the very exact and workable special deck fittings mentioned before. And as important, is the fact that in the 25 or so models he designed, are the consistent winners. The Amory!Zis. a highpoint Class A model (of Shipper Eastburn’s design, of course) has a double mast which must be a successful experi- ment judging from her position at the end of the season, (tabul^ted below). By the way the AmciryJZ..a is a No. 4 design of Designer Robert E.. which is listed in Editor Brown’s designs. And while I’m on the subject of designs, I must “come clean” with specific information as to some ol. the higher up placers in the season, at Wilmington. The Crys!o! is an earlier design, No. 2 42 in. as are JJatoA and Tumoni.n.

C. season was perfect: large entries, fairly good racing conditions, liberal publicity, plenty of prizes, (cash) awards, and cups, and sincere co-operation by city officials and the public. During the week ending Aug. Ist, there were 49 boats entered in the daily and nightly races, 31 in Class A, and 18 in the 8 class-that is, there were just 49 different, models raced in one week. That record is probably, in proportion, greater’than “Race Week” at the Larchmont Yacht Club or at Marblehead. There were an average of 28 models entered each day the whole season.

Shipper Brinton received three cups-all by his shill in leading the Class 8 models in the season; first the Sir Thomas Lipton Cup for Class 8 under the same conditions of the other Lipton Cup ; the News-Journal Cup, given the model taking the highest number of points for three separate seasons; and the Earl T. Hughes Cup which is offered as a permanent trophy each year for the highest number of points scored in each class during the season. Leonard had won this cup for two years and the victory of this year gave him permanent possession of the cup. And, Oh, yes, modelman Eastburn received the other Hughes Cup foI. the champion in class A. Councilman Otto H. Miller, who has been keenly interested in the races, gave away the awards to Champion Brinton. Modelman Bob Eastburn, representing the skippers, presented Mr. Kadel with a living-room lamp, in appreciation of his co-operation and interest. interesting incident took place the morning of August lst, when the. Dot, skippered by Eddie Smith, was within six inches of the finish line, the BJwe Jay, of William In tabulated form, this is how the Scott, suddenly appeared on the scene, leaders came in at the end of t,he season, and before the remaining six inches was completed, the latter had sideswiped the at the Delaware M.

The officials in charge of racing during the two months and more of the season were C. Walter Kadel, manager of the Price Run Pool; Captain. Harvey C. Wingate, starter; and the Park Board, who as a final act of kindness, ordered the pool kept full until actual racing was over, other pools in the city having had their waters drawn off : that of Price Run was held over to accommodate the modelmen. The boys raced for as fine an array of awards as has ever ‘been seen at one season. Every week the Board of Park Commissioners awarded $5 to the (week’s) winner of the A class, and $3 to the 8 class victor. Subscriptions to /14:odez yach!i.ng were of major importance.

We do not carry a big crew but the boys are stouthearted, loyal lads who have stood by the ship through thick and thin, blow high blow low. The ” Old Man ” is grateful to all hands, realizes too, that some of you have not got all you expected when you signed on, but past storms hold no terrors, so let’s all lend a hand in preparation for what lies ahead. Past voyages the ship has battled head winds and cross seas, this present voyage will not be all smooth sailing, but if all hands will tail on with all their weight we’ll make a record passage. We’re a little shy in ballast, about three hundred washers, that means we only need one hundred and fifty more to sigli on for a twelve months cruise. With a crew so increased the “Old Man” can sleep easy on his watch below. The skipper don’t like to keep telling a shipmate how to pull an oar or heave his lead, but we’re all on board this packet for a long cruise so why not all hands buckle down and get all we can out of the ship. I’ve had my say, so all hands off watch turn to. Steady, as she is, mister. MarbleLlead 50-800 Rules The rules printed below al.e those drawn up and adapted by the Marblehead Model Yacht Club.

The Annual Meeting of the Grand Rapids Model Yacbt Club was held Saturday evening, December 19. It began with an umsually good banquet and the meeting was called to order by the Commodore at 8.3o. The officers reports wcrc gcncrally reviews of the past season or announcemcn[s of the cohing season, The announcement of Mr. Chcncy, Vicc{ommodorc, declaring that he had received Mr. Pigeon.s approval of the plaa of Commodore Sweet to hold eliminations for the Eastern contenders at Chicago nextJune onJune 17, 2.8, and to hold the finals between the three best from each section on June 19,3o, was met with •hcarty approval ....

It was unanimously voted to cootinue the M.Y.R.A.A. membership. A number of other matters of more or less importance were brought up and wcrc the subject of coosidcrable discu-sion. Several members were dropped for Don-payment of I93o dues, while several applications were approved, iocludiag the application of Mrs. Cheney, a well-known figure in MidWcstcm model yachting circles, who thereby becomes, we believe, one of the first woman members of a model yacht club. The clectjon of 19}1 officers was held with the result that the incumbent Commodore, Mr. Sweet, was unanimously reelected, at the incumbent Vice-Commodore.s refusal to stand for rcclection, Mr. W. W. Hubbard,Jr., 62.s Windsor Terr., Grand Rapids, was elcctcd to that office. After a heated discussion, a ballot was taken and Mr. Henry Michgelson, 15Is N. Union Ave., Grand Rapids, was elected Sccrctary of the Club for Ig3£. However, the office of Treasurer remained with the incumbent Mr. Jordan Cawthra. The Commodore and Secrctary were emphatically instructed to support the simple rule for the Marblchead 8oo claps, as drawn up by the Commodore, but this was scarcely necessary as the Commodore and Secretary rcflcct the spirit of the West and are strongly in favor of it anyway. Because the gathering was the largest of the year, Mr. YACHTIN(`, Jordan Cawthra agaiQ related his expcricnces of the summer. especially at Larchmont, lauding the sportsmanship and Skill of his opponcflts. As a final touch the retiriag ViceCommodorc, Mr. Chency, called for additional support for the editor of Mode/ yco4/i.„g, and begged that more subscriptions bc sent in. The Commodore called for all subscribers to signify so and discovered five, a total of becwcen one-fourth and one-fiftb of the membership. He added ,to the Vice{ommodore's plea for more subscribers. but it is not certain if any results shall be obtained from this, though the cxprcssions of approval at this ;£dT:u=Pe¥ared hopeful. The meeting was Unofficial sailing was carried on in Grand Rapids regularly until the ice set in, which was after New Years. Now the buildiag season is in full swing and we are doing justice to it.
