U~YONDA Is as illusive an individual as was the “Walking Man” of recent fame, and the task daddy gave me of trying to locate and identify him was no easy one. Our subscription list was of no use to me as his name simply wasn’t there. My obvious bet was to mail an inquiry to the mayor of Walla Walla who graciously referred it to the Chief of Police, and a few days latter I received a letter from him saying that Otto could not be found in the City Directory, but he had located a Mrs. Shuda Ben Upyonda, with instructions for me to contact her, which I did. From her I gathered the information that Otto was a step brother of her “Good for nothing” husband she had divorced nineteen years ago “because he spent all his wages on building those darn model boats that didn’t mean a thing to anybody.,, “I am the only woman in the 2 didn’t know, and didn’t care, but as I seemed interested, she would send me a picture of Otto taken when he was about 12 or 13 she didn’t know which, and ‘ “good riddance.” So there you have all the information available of the illusive Mr. Otto B. Upyonda. Jeanne A.

EVOLUTION OF THE VANE GEAR by Charles H. Farley … DESCRIPTION OF THE VANE GEAR Section IV The first practical vane g~ar used in the U. S. A. was the old type-Berge vane. This had a celluloid feather, and the l11L’chanism was mostly brass. No counterL’ight was indicated. Modern Ameri,·.tn vane gears carry a counter-weight .-·id a balsa-wood feather, the latter being ri1c lightest material of requisite strength .ind durability obtainable for the purpose. :\ celluloid feather will weigh more than EIGHT times as much as balsa-wood. Early difficulties with vane gears resulted from the extreme weight of celluloid feathers and the lack of a counter-weight , ,r counter-balance, plus rudders of incorrect shape or area, or which did not swing i’crfectly free. Modern. vanes are practi, .illy fool-proof and well-balanced. The ..:ounter-weight, properly adjusted, helps to keep this balance, and to keep the rudder centered when not needed for steering. Note that even a white-pine feather is too heavy, being about THREE times the weight of balsa-wood. Compare weights of various materials in the following table. 0 \\ J,1 Typical Moral: Never use anything but balsawood for your vane feather! California Type Vane Gear This type requires turning by hand for all points of sailing, and for changing tacks on a beat.

So in 1912 Lipton sent il challenge demanding that the N. Y. Club provide a boat no larger than 7 5 ft. on the water line. This the club refused to do. Two years later an unconditional challenge came along, and the •duh promptly accepted, plus mentioning that boats be of 75 ft. water line, and to race under the new universal measurement rules. The race was to be sailed off Sandy Hook over a 30 mile course, the best 3 out of 5. Lipton built the Shamrock IV, a New York syndicate had Herreshoff ‘ design and build the “Resolute.” Alexander Cochrane a member of the N. Y. Club went to William Gardner for the design and to Lawley of Boston for the construction of “Vanitie.” Fred Pigeon made some of the spars. Another syndi, , cate of N. Y. Club Members commis, ioned George Owen to design the “Defiance.” She started in the first six trial races without winning any of them and was retired. Resolute and Vanitie raced 20 races, Resolute winning 15 and Vanitie 5’. As the war broke out the yachts were hauled up, including the challenger. Both American yachts were out in 191 5, Reso• lute winning 14 of the 17 races. Finally on July 15, 1920 Shamrock and Resolute got together and another series of the famous contest was on.

The Central Park Model Yacht club held their regular meetings at my shop 111 New York city for a long time and it \,·a.:.there a lot of work was done to get a , ,,nc-design class in operation. The Richards Made construction sets \,·ere then on the market. An 'Alpha' da:;s, developed along the lines of ·vanity' was put on the market too; a one-design class, for the younger fellows or novices, as you mention. Th~y were featured in 'Yachting' and 'Rudder' but, we had the same difficulty you speak of, -the eternal experts. They were all ~well fellows and are now but, they did then as you point out now,-spoiled the sport for those who have to learn the hard way and, in simple stages. I don't mean these chaps who are experts as designers and craftsmen mean to disrupt things,--they mean alright. It's just that they get so expert, as you say, they override the poor amateur and I think with you, the one-design 'M' is probably the :i.nswer. Your last issue carried a sad memorial in the notice of the passing of Walter R. Many. I knew him quite well, in fact, built a skiff for him, to handle his models from, when he was on Long Island. He came to my shop at Dyckman Street and Hudson river, many times, Too bad , these nice people have to pass on. + •• + •• + ••••••••• + •• FORUM I note a more 'alive' feeling in M. Y. of late; keep up the good work. When my subscription runs out, just send me a bill, or something. I still have cash money on deposit with Mr. Post for copies of 'A' and 6 meter class model ratings. Think I'll ever see them? Yours sincerely, \Vm. C. B. Richards, MSAE .... Dear Editor:If the Editor should wizz this letter into the waste basket I wouldn't blame him as the subject of what is, or what is not proper in scoring races in the good old U. S. A. has been settled by the majority clubs of the MYRAA, at least for one year, or until the membership decides otherwise, and I doubt they will. Skipper Fred Pigeon states that the proper way of scoring is the antiquated 3-2. Why it is, he doesn't explain, and that is just what we want to know. If there is any fundamental reason for that assertion, I for one would lil<.eto hear of it. The mere statement without an authoratative background doesn't mean a thing to us new comers. J. Wood Dear Editor:Fred Pigeon is one of the pioneers in the sport of model yachting and should be able to substanciate his contention that the 3-2 method of scoring is the only proper way of scoring yacht races, with authoritative pronouncements, not just mere personal beliefs or idiosyncrasies. We of the Rhode Island club subscribe to the theory that every man has the right to his idealism; and his right to legally propagandize it. 11 We have been using the one plus 1 system for almost two years and find it eminently suited to our needs. That we were not alone in this belief is evidenced in the national poll vote which followed our presentation of it to the delegates at the Annual Meeting and membership at large. Until the system has had a chance to prove itself the question should be considered closed, in acquiescence to the majority that voted for its adoption. Within the realm of yachting we have never heard the nonsensical pronouncement that windward legs should be rated higher than leeward ones, but if such a practice is accepted anywhere, we will humbly apologize. However, until such time as friend Pigeon can authoratively qualify his statemen_ts, it would be far more diplomatic and fraternal not to cast aspersions upon those who are sincerely working for the progress of the sport. Com. S. R. Dic~ie. Dear Editor: I've been subscribing to "Model Yachting" long before I ever dreamed of owning a model yacht, th~refor it is difficult to reason why skippers that daily enjoy the benefits of the sport do not subscribe to their own magazine. Is it possible that they cannot realize that by subscribing they, First-Will assure a bigger and better magazine. Second--That it keeps them informed on new boats, new clubs and what is going on thruout the sport, Third--It makes valuable reading,-it talks OUR language, Fourth-It helps develop our sport as no other medium can. Joseph Giana. Dear Editor:I t seems to me that friend Pigeon is using the same age old tactics used \by poiiticians in not givi;1g the whole quo'ta, tion, but citing only the section that best 12 suits their puropse. He presents the scores of the eight finalists in the British Championship Races, but says nothing about the twenty-eight others that also competed or the one-hundred and some points defluent from the winners. Even in the sample submitted, none of the boats, other than No. 2 would have a chance of winning the championship. ' No. 3 would have had to win every windward board in the finals to accomplish the feat and that is expecting a miracle, with Rapsody and Cierce doing their stuff. The one plus 1 system of scoring will be interesting to study this year, and it is safe to assume that no one will be able to run away with any one race. The mar, gins of difference will be so close that it will be anybody's race right up to the last board. L. G., Jr. WASHINCTON CLUB Bob C. Valantine reports that racing at the Mirror Pool has been delayed due to the cleaning of the pool that has not as yet been flooded sufficiently to allow for good sailing. As the Washington seasons begins earlier than most Eastern dubs this is indeed regretable. Bob has been appointed reporter to "Model Yachting" ~o the club should be heard from regularly during the season. NOTES FROM SAN FRANCISCO Anna 1, the new X Class yacht of member Curry, previously mentioned in these colums, is now completed and is now undergoing its tuning-up, preparatory to the season racing.

It will circulate warm air in the building by means of a centrifugal fon and blower, with push-button control. The S. F. Sport, Travel and Boat Show, which wil~ be held in the Civic Audi,. torium April 30 to May 9 has asked the dub to exhibit a number of sail and power hoat models at this show. They plan to have a 70x 40 ft. tank in which the power craft will be demonstrated. G. C.
