MODEL YACHT RACING ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA ORGANIZED IN NEW YoRK CiTy, JULY 19, 1921 The objects of this Association is to encourage and promote the designing, building, and racing of model sailing yachts, and to establish uniform rules and regulations for the conduct of the sport. Model yacht clubs in the United States or possessions having a roster of not less than ten members are eligible for membership in the M. Y. R. A. A. Annual dues are ten dollars. Applications for membership shall be made in writing to the National Secretary, and shall be signed by the Commodore and Secretary of the applicant club, stating the number of members the applicant club has, and accompanied by a fee of ten dollars, as dues for the calendar year, to be returned if the application is rejected. Competitive classes of model yachts are: (1) The International A Class, (abbreviated, A); (2) the Marblehead 50-800 Class, (abbreviated, M). A model yacht competing in any National, Divisional, or Invitation Regatta must be registered in the M. Y. R. A. A. In each racing class, competitions NOT under sponsorship of the M. Y. R. A. A. or of a Division, may consist of Open or un-restricte d races. THE SPORT OF MODEL YACHTING By the Editor The sport of model yachting is enjoyed by men, women and boys throughout the civilized world. Skill, sailing experience and perserverance are necessary for successful participation in this sport, together with a well balanced model, equipped with well-fitting sails. All yachts in tournaments start from scratch, with no handicaps or allowances, and onlookers are often puzzled by this system, which is used for all serious racing. In the enclosed waters of a model yacht pool it would be impossible to start the boats all together, because of the danger of collisions or tie-ups which would prevent a true sailing test. Therefore each yacht meets each other in turn, sailing in pairs or threes. When all the pairs have sailed off and returned to the starting line, completing a windward and leeward leg, a “heat” is finished. Several heats are sailed to complete an entire “round,” each yacht changing for a different opponent for each heat. Points for winning are; a windward leg, 3; a leeward or reaching leg, 2. If a pair should collide or foul, then the yachts concerned, unless hopelessly beaten, are taken back and restarted. When a yacht comes ashore she must be tacked or re-trimmed, and if re-trimmed , must be stopped and restarted under her own headway, without pushing. The skipper or mate must not at any time move his feet or advance his position while tacking or re-trimming. Penalty for infringement of rules entails disqualification. In the case of an odd number of yachts being entered in a race, a “bye” is given, so that one yacht will be left out of each heat, in turn. _ The numbers and letters on sails indicate the class and registra- tion. number of a yacht, without which she is unqualified to sail races held under National or Divisional authorit y. 1 in Scores of racing yachts are generally posted near the pondside. Races are conducted by an Officer of the Day (O. O. D.), who has complete charge, and is empowered to disqualify any skipper or mate committing a breach of the rules. Races are also sailed in Divisions and in Teams. Informal races are sometimes held where large groups or the whole fleet are started all at once. This allows more freedom and sailing for the fun of it, but is not a real test of superior skill or speed, as frequent collisions and tie-ups often cause the faster yachts to lose out, while the slower but lucky ones sail to victory unimpeded.

WHAT IS A SPORTSMAN? As I understand the breed, he is one who has not merely braced his muscles and developed his endurance in the exercise of some great sport, but has in the pursuit of that exercise, learned to control his anger, to be considerate of his neighbor, to take no mean advantage, to resent as a dishonor the very suspicion of trickery, and to bear aloft a cheerful and happy countenance under disappointment.

THE APPEAL OF MODEL YACHTING **Model Yachts’’—What picture does that call up in your mind? A flock of smail boys at the edge of a park lake, perhaps, with a non-descript collection of shingles roughly pointed at one end, on which have been erected squarish bits of newspaper for sails. Yes, that is model yachting in its first stage, and many highly advanced devotees of the sport have, I suspect, obtained their first thrills from just such a primitive beginning. But, between the small boy’s shingle and the grown man’s 60 pound yacht, costing if made commercially, approximately $600.00 with its 7-foot hollow mast and 1700 square inches sail-spread, there are many steps and the widest of margins. The most popular types of racing model range in length-over-all from 40 to 80 inches, and in displacement, from 10 to 60 younds. Model Yachting has rightly been called a pastime for boys from 8 to 80. Nothing so disturbs your mature model yachtsman—and, strange as it may seem, the great majority of men devoted to this sport are men from 25 to 70—as to hear his small but painstakingly built and tuned-up racing craft alluded to as a ‘toy boat.” It injures his proper pride and is an improperly redundant expression ;—a yacht is a playtime vessel—a plaything is a toy—hence any yacht is a toy, etc. As a matter of fact, the only resemblance between the highly developed racing model yacht of today, and the product of the toy shop, is in the mind of the unintelligent observor. It is open to question even if the term ‘‘model yacht’? is as accurately descriptive as could be desired. ‘‘Miniature yacht” would probably be less misleading; for seldom can a successful racing model be produced by scaling down a full sized sister-ship. The large yacht has a man at the helm—the small one must be fashioned to sail and steer itself, and the problems involved in the two cases are, therefore, materially different. Both can be beautiful and satisfying to the eye, but the rigging of the model must be simplicity itself, and the shape of her hull such as to provide the utmost in balance at all angles of heel. The Model Yacht therefore belongs to a different category from the ship-model, which is a detailed reproduction on a small scale of some vessel existing in the large, and the design and construction of successful racing model yachts is an art in itself, involving a working knowledge of the principles of marine engineering and their application to the needs of a special case. For whom then has model yachting a special appeal? First—for that man who, loving the sea and ships, yachts and yacht racing, cannot afford a full-sized yacht of his own. Second—for the yachtsman who is also artist or engineer, to try out his ideas of form at minimum expense, or, loving to fashion beautiful things with tools, seeks to satisfy this craving through his favorite sport. Third—for the very young sailor, or very old. unfit to go to sea. Fourth—for those students or instructors at manual training and engineering schools whose desire to give practical expression to their acquired knowledge and facility holds this special form; Last—but by no means least many proficient model yachtsmen have come from the interested bystanders who have fallen victim to this fascinating game. The origin of model yachting is shrouded in mystery, but it has been a popular sport in England as far back as runs the memory of the oldest inhabitant. There it has its greatest following and highest development. The numerous clubs are within comparatively easy reach of one another, and rivalry is keen. Organized racing is enjoyed in other countries, and contests between nations are conducted by the International Model Yacht Racing Union. The annual World’s Championship races for Int. A Class Yachts might be called the ““World’s Series” of miniature yachting having had its inception shortly after the World War, and since that time has attracted entries intermittently from Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Great Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, Latvia, Czecho Slovakia and the : The present trophy donated by Yachting Monthly Magazine is said to have several times the intrinsic value of the America’s Cup. The 50-800 Marblehead Class, originated in the U. S. A., is also an accepted Class for International competition, racing of this type of yacht having been conducted at Hamburg, Germany, in 1936 in conjunction with the Olympic games. U. S.A. with +7 member clubs in its National Association, and many others including Junior clubs not so affiliated, is rapidly surpassing Great Britain in the popularity of the sport. However, it is to be regretted that despite this fact, many American cities have been woefully dilatory in providing suitable enclosed sailing waters for bank to bank racing, and lag far behind our English cousins in this respect. The MYRAA, through National, Divisional and Club officers, is campaigning vigorously to more favorably impress municivalities with the recreational value of the sport, and as new clubs in the far West and deep South are rapidly coming into the fold, the time is not far distant when suitable basins may be found in all parts of the country. In 1932, there were three ponds in the United States on which races might be held in some slight emulation of those held abroad. Today, championship regattas may be held under reasonably good pond-sailing conditions in or near the following cities: New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, St. Louis, Boston, Washington, Grand Berkeley, Cal., Worcester, Mass., Charleston, S. C. Rapids, Port Washington, L. I. ’ Much progress has been made but there is a vast field ahead. Miniature yachting will not stop growing in popularity in this country, but can be materially retarded by lack of suitable sailing waters peculiarly adapted to our sport. These must he provided largely by. ruaioieal appropriations, and the energies of the MYRAA are being consecrated to this end. E. L. CHENEY, President, M. Y. R. A.

HEISTERKAMP, Sec’y 91 Fonda Road Rockville Center, N. Y. 12 THE GROWTH OF MODEL YACHTING Model yachting is fast becoming a major sport in this country. Just before the turn of the century there were a few model sailing clubs in and around New York City. Detroit had taken up the sport and participated in a regatta in New York. San Francisco had a model yacht club at Golden Gate Park. It was not until Mr. William Daniels of London, England challenged the model yachtsmen of America in 1921 to a formal match, did the sport become organized and a national association formed. The recognized classes at that time were the A-B-C-D rating classes which gave a wide range of size of models. After the match race with Mr. Daniels, the present International A class was adopted which has eliminated the above classes and did much to develop the interest in this country. Like all classes of yachts this size increased and there was a demand for a smaller class. Mr. Roy Clough of the Marblehead Model Yacht Club, had built a model slightly larger than the class called the 450 square inch sail area class. This larger boat seemer just what the skippers wanted for size. It was easy to design, as the major restriction was 50 inches overall and 800 square inches of sail and a skipper could carry out his own ideas in design which proved a big factor in making this class a success. The cost was kept down because the size allowed the use of various kinds of lumber thus making it very popular from the start. The International A Class because of its International contests was the inspiration which made the sport of racing model yachts grow in this country. The Marblehead 50-800 class came at a time when the majority of skippers were unable to design the larger craft and were kept from active racing because of the high cost of building same. The smaller class allowed this latter group to create their own ideas in the form of a craft with simple restrictions. Needless to say a great impulse in building was noticed and today we have in this country well over 1000 models eligible to race. During the past five years the membership in the Model Yacht Racing Association of America has doubled and we now have an International association known as the International Model Yacht Racing Union, with eight nations, enrolled. Application has been made to the International Olympic Committee requesting that model yacht racing be accepted as an Olympic event. Few sports offer such a wide variety of enjoyment which can be utilized in the full twelve months of the year. First, there is the planning of a new boat which starts in the fall of the year when the racing ends. Second, the designing which takes sometimes weeks of calculation. Third the building which to many skippers is the most enjoyable period and fourth, the sailing and racing period which of late years extends from April to November. The greatest drawback to the sport in the past was the lack of suitable ponds upon which to sail. In the early days the racing was confined mostly to sailing from skiffs. Today with Park and Recreational Commissions realizing the advantages of model yacht ponds for sports and civic improvement we have several ponds that are used for racing. The larger ponds are located at Boston, Mass., Detroit, Mich., Chicago, Ill., Port Washington, N. Y., Washington, D. C., Grand Rapids, Mich., Philadelphia, Pa. and Berkerley, Calif. The future of model yachting will depend upon the training of junior members. Already several clubs have a division for juniors where they are taught how to build and sail their craft. In many of the public schools systems model boat building has become a part of the regular course in the industrial arts departments. With such a bright future and with the aid of the municipalities in building ponds upon which to sail boats we may expect to have model yacht racing part of all regular sports activities.

A CORDIAL WELCOME AWAITS YOU ALL! MODEL YACHT PLANS CLASS A MARBLEHEAD 50-800 CLASS FRED L. PIGEON 131 Coleridge Street East Boston, Mass. STATEN ISLAND MODEL YACHT CLUB Commodore, Franklin Giesbrecht Secretary, Alfred Kolb 19 HOW TO ORGANIZE A MODEL YACHT CLUB information This article is written because of many inquiries forthat these rethe hope on how to organize a model yacht club, and in For example, we will say that “Jones,” interested in designing, building, and sailing model yachts, conceives the idea that the time is ripe to organize a club in his locality. hit He is acquainted with several persons who have been sailing,turn, they, in or miss, for some time. He calls on a few of them, and contact others having a similar interest. Finally, a conference is called at a private house, where after thorough discussion, it is decided to form a club. A date, time, and place is fixed for an open meeting, marks will assist embryo clubs to become successful. to which all persons interested in the sport are invited to attend, bringLocal newspapers will cooperate in publishing news sent them ing friends. about these matters. Prominent citizens, whether yachtsmen or not, should be approached. Sell them the value such activity would be to the entire community, and point out the good derived from this clean, healthful sport. Emphasize the fact that such interest fills the American Youths’ leisure, both summer and winter, and counteracts the urge to join the street corner gang or questionable organizations. Invite outstanding citizens and leaders of organized sports to attend the meeting and give them an opportunity to be heard. The appointed time arrives and several persons attend. Jones, being the promoter of the idea, presides, having previously informed himself concerning successful model yacht clubs in other places, what classes are being sailed and the answers to other pertinent questions. After Jones has addressed the meeting and outlined the situation, the prominent citizens, members of the Press and others should be invited to speak. After the situation has been thoroughly discussed and a decision reached to form a club, the nomination and election of officers follows. Officers should be a Commodore, Vice-Commodore, Rear-Commodore, Secretary, and Treasurer. A Chairman of the Race Committee (or Fleet Captain), and a Club Measurer should also be elected. In proposing names for nomination, several important points should be taken into consideration. The officers to be elected must be so sincerely interested in model yachting that they will be ready and willing at all times to do their share of the work required. They must grasp every opportunity to spread the gospel of model yachting. Above all else, they should be blessed with the necessary intelligence, determination and tact to create and maintain harmony, good feeling, and loyalty among the members. The next business is to adopt a Club Name, and a Constitution and By-laws, patterned after sample books of other clubs. A Club Burgee should be chosen and classes adopted for building and racing. You could do no better than to adopt the International A Class or the Marblehead 50-800 Class, both of which are recognized by the M. Y. R. A. A. Racing and Rating Rules for both these classes may be obtained from the Treasurer of the M. Y. R. A. The first regatta should be planned and advertised long in advance of the date. If you are in the neighborhood of a large yacht club, invite their officers to act as judges for your first race. Whether you sail from skiffs or have pond sailing, always emphasize to your town officials the worth while aspect of the sport. If your club is conducted wisely and well and an interest in model yacht sailing spreads as it should, your community will soon realize that it is money well spent to build a model yacht pond in your community. Such a pond should be about 1000 x 250 feet and situated in a place free from obstacles such as trees or buildings, with a depth of water about 15 inches at the walk and 6 or more feet deep towards the center.
