Nortu, M.D., New York City not get at it, it is unsuitable for model yachting. “MODEL YACHTING IS MY HOBBY” writes the author, “and it would be the hobby of thousands of other business and professional men if they knew about it. In places where such sailing is being done, model yachts act as magnets. Old and young surround the yachts, not only to satisfy their curiosity regarding construction and rigging, but to ask how they can obtain yachts and enter into the sport. At every regatta there is plain evidence of great latent interest in this sport, which needs only to be awakened to cause a development in this country which would give us hundreds instead of scores of organized clubs, and tens of thousands of model yachtsmen instead of thousands.” The origin of model yachting is shrouded in mystery, but it is as old as sailboats of large size. The museums of all countries show historical evidences of model yachts. The sport is a very old one in Great Britain; and in America, New York and San Francisco compete for the honor of having organized the first model yacht club in the early seventies. One historian reports that the first model yacht club was on Long Island in 1872. Another says the first model yacht club sailed on Prospect Park Lake, Brooklyn, about 1880. Central Park Lake and Staten Island also lay claim to model yacht sailing about the same time. In 1932 there were only three ponds in the United States that could compare with those abroad. In 1939 scores of communities could boast of good model yacht ponds. The basis of the sport is ponds and winds. Development is hopeless without suitable sailing water and sufficient wind. In many localities a good pond is available, but if it is sheltered by hills, banks, trees, shrubs or houses, so that wind can Authorities agree that the ideal pond should be from 800 to 1000 feet in length, and 200 to 300 feet in width, and from three to six feet deep. Wooden starting platforms or floats at either end are de- sirable. The shore line should be straight, with a depth of water about 18 inches to within a few feet of the edges. A pathway several feet wide around the entire pond accommodates the following and trimming of yachts. The chief obstacle to a large scale development of the sport is the lack of such ponds as just described. Maps of parks throughout the United States show countless ponds. Too many of these are designed by landscape experts and are irregular in shape, designed for boating, skating, swimming, or perhaps just for ducks. Trees and shrubbery, planted for shade or decoration, shut off the wind. It is urgently hoped that park commis- sions, in making plans for new developments, will include facilities for model yachting. Ponds for this sport cost no more than other ponds, and in some cases cost less because of their simplicity of construction. In landscaping, in place of a fringe of trees or shrubs, which block the wind, the pond can have low sloping banks suitable for rock gardens or flower beds. There is no decorative feature to a park equal to a fleet of model yachts with re sails of white and other bright colors. It is no argument to point out the comparative spaces required for other recreations, such as baseball, football and tennis. All model yachtsmen ask is an opportunity to make use of the water. In new park developments such ponds can be correctly designed at the outset, and in the case of older parks many ponds could be remodeled at small expense. Shore lines could be straightened and trees and large shrubs removed, The demand for model yachting is latent, and cannot show itself before the pond is built. The pond must come first. The response has been immediate whereever good ponds have been built. A model yacht pond always creates one or more model yacht clubs. The future of the sport depends entircly on the action of park commissions, or other public authorities. The Model Yacht Racing Association of America comprises clubs in every part of the country, and it recognizes the following classes, in order of their general size; the A, the Six-Metre, the X, and the M Classes. These classes must be built within certain limits set forth by rules similar to those controlling full sized yachts, and involving formulae restricting length of load water line, overall length, weight (displacement), sail area and other features too numerous to mention here. These rules are designed to prevent excesses, and generally result in discouraging freaks, while at the same time allowing wide variation in size and proportions. Model Yachts have progressed to @ point of refinement. White cotton sails have now given way to sails of oiled silk in many bright colors. Wooden masts and spars have been succeeded by polished stainless steel. Clumsy fittings are supplanted by chromium-plated fittings of beautiful design, made by specialists as skillful as jewelers. In woodwork, metal work and accessories, as well as sails, there is no finer workmanship on display than most of the model yachts of today. They represent arts and crafts at their best. Each yacht requires two handlers, although many skippers sail alone, perforce. When there are two to a boat, one acts as skipper, the other as mate, on opposite sides of the pond. There is something uncanny to the average onlooker, about the behaviour of a model racing yacht. To the uninitiated it may be explained that the rigging is designed to make the wind impart drive to the sails and by coupling the latter to the steering gear, to actuate the rudder and thus control the yacht’s course. When the wind tends to turn the boat off her desired course, the sails turn the rudder and the rudder steers the boat accordingly. To see a yacht struggle in a strong wind to keep on a straight course is a great thrill to a model yachtsman, to whom the yacht is as a living creature. If it has been designed and built by him it is as dear as his own child. Model yachting is an ideal hobby. In cold or rainy seasons there is endless work to be done on the drawing board with new designs, or in the shop building a new boat for the next sailing season, or in making repairs to old boats. Many model yachtsmen have small shops in their homes where they spend leisure hours in an occupation which is a complete diversion from all other business. On racing days the sport is out of doors. The exertion required is much less violent than that of golf or tennis, and yet calls for considerable walking, running, or bending. One day’s racing on a pond 1000 feet long, each heat to leeward and windward amounts to 2000 feet. If he races six other boats in a regatta he has walked 12000 feet and since there are many irregular steps, he has travelled two and a half miles and been outdoors from four to six hours. Such an amount of exercise is well suited to the condition of the average business man. Schoolboys and girls who take a course in school shops are potential model yachtsmen. The drawing boards are there for drawing yacht designs. The metal shops have the equipment for making metal gear and casting lead keels. The woodworking shops are the right place for making the wooden keels, ribs and planking and the masts and spars. The paint shop furnishes all the supplies for finishing the yacht in a sea-going dress. All boys, girls, women and men who like to work with their hands would find the building of model yachts of great interest. The existence of a suitable sailing water in their neighborhood is a sure method of arousing their interest. The fact that most automobile driving on holidays is aimless is shown by the speed with which a large gallery of motorists collect when model yachts are sailing. The sport is attractive to all classes of spectators, not only because racing yachts are good to look at, but because people like to watch a race or a competition, With a good wind competition is keen and exciting enough for any sportsman, Reprinted (abridged) by permission, from Recreation, July, 1939 y RACING CALENDAR 1940 NATIONAL EVENTS MAY 4-5.

Size, weight, portability, and general appearance are the principal factors to be considered, as well as the nature, size, and accessibility of the local sailing waters. There is room in the model yachting world for several different classes, some large, some small, either “simple” or “complex” in their rating rules. COMPETITIVE CLASSES OF MODEL YACHTS RECOGNIZED BY THE M.Y.R.A.A. A-CLASS (International A-Class) M-CLASS (International Marblehead 50/800 Class) 6-M CLASS (International 6-Metre Class) X-CLASS (American 1000 square-inch Class) Each class has its adherents, and a more or less numerous following. Statistics show that the “simple” rule classes are favored by the majority. The various classes may be grouped as follows: 1) SIMPLE RULE CLASSES, devised for racing models only, and not for large yachts. These comprise the M (or Marblehead 50-800), the X, the 10-Rater, and the 36-inch Restricted. 2) COMPLEX RULE CLASSES, a) For models only, but which could be adapted for full-sized yachts, such as the International AClass. b) Full-size yacht scaled down to a convenient size, and closely following the complex formula and rating rules of the full-sized These include the 6yacht. Metre, 10-Metre, 12-Metre, R, 22-Square Metre, 30-Square Metre, etc. SIMPLE RULE CLASSES The “simple” rule classes appeal to skippers who prefer a concise and easily understood formula and rating rule, which allows self-expression and has great flexibility, The X, M, and 10-Rater Classes exemplify these principles, and a great variety of hull forms are produced, differing widely in length, breadth, depth and weight. No maximum or minimum displacement (weight) limits are set in any of the “simple” classes except the 36-inch Class. For driving power the M-Class is limited to not more than 800 square inches of sail, and the X-Class to a maximum of 1000 square inches. Sail area for the 10-Rater is regulated according to the length of the load water-line; the longer this is, the less sail allowed. Sail area for the 36-inch Class is not measured, and therefore, unlimited. In the 10-Rater Class, fin-and-bulb keels and centerboards are allowed, but these are prohibited in the M and X Classes. The M and X must have a hollow of garboard at midship section not less than the arc of a circle with a oneinch radius. This may be measured with a disc two inches in diameter. Thus a “sharpie” is discouraged excepting in the 10-Rater Class. Punts, or boats with forward transoms are prohibited in all these simple classes. International M Class (Marblehead 50-800) The M-Class is an example of a “simple” rule applied to models only, and has proven the most popular class yet devised. Thousands of these fast little models have been built and raced with great success. The only cramping restriction in its rule is the length over-all clause, this 50-inch limit forcing designers to take the longest “L” or sailing length possible, and in some cases to cramp in the deck-line forward and to chop off the stern. The result is very short overhangs, or in some cases, no overhangs at all. Long overhangs are sometimes used, but boats of this type, although much better looking than the plumb-ended variety, are not so fast in all weathers as the latter. The M-Class is particularly suited for small and medium-sized ponds, and can be carried in the back seat of the average automobile. The formula is as follows: Overall length of hull, fifty (50) inches. Sail area, (excepting spinnaker) NOT to exceed eight hundred (800) square inches. One quarter of an inch in excess of, or less than, 50 inch over-all measurement allowed. The following are prohibited; movable or sliding keels, metal finkeels, center-boards, bilge-boards, lee-boards, bowsprits, overhanging rudders, movable or shifting ballast. 10-Rater Class This is built to the oldest model yacht rating rule in existence, having been introduced in 1887 by Dixon Kemp. The rating rule is based on sail area and loadwater-line. iw. x 3A. Rating. (10, limit). 6000 36-Inch Restricted Class The result of this rule is to encourage the design of long overhangs in order to gain as much “L” or sailing length as possible when heeled. In some instances a scow or saucer-shaped type of hull is produced. However, hundreds of fast and handsome craft are in commission, and this is the most popular racing model in Great Britain today, outnumbering any other class at least two to one. The 10Rater is sometimes quite as long as the A-Class, but weighs approximately one half as much, of roaches. Hull unrestricted as to the following: Displacement, overall length, load water-line length, beam, draft, freeboard, tumble-home, scantlings, materials. Spinnakers and reaching or Genoa jibs NOT used, as the 1000 square inch limit of sail would then be exceeded. The 10-Rater is not recog- nized officially by the M.Y.R.A.A., and is seldom seen in the U.S. The X-Class The X-Class rule, originating in the United States, is the most simple and modern of all model yacht rating rules, and is intended to produce the fastest hull, for all weathers, than can be driven by the arbitrary limit of 1000 square inches of sail. In order to discourage “freaks” and to ensure the production of hulls which look like real yachts and not toy or store boats, metal fin-keels, sliding or adjustable keels, outriggers, sliding rigs, vane steering gear, and forward transoms are prohibited. A requirement for a one-inch radius in the garboard also helps encourage the design of good looking craft. Thus great freedom is allowed in de- sign, since no dimensional or displacement (weight) limits are set. There is no reason for sane designers to try to “beat the rule” as they always do when arbitrary hull limits are set. A fine form of hull results, because when excesses are taken in any direction it is certain that good all-round performance will be impossible. Sailing tests of several X boats show that they are very fast, perhaps the fastest of all modern racing models. The average dimensions etc. of several designs give the following figures: L.O.A., 60 to 75 inches: L.W.L., 48 to 54 inches: Beam, Y to 12 inches: Displacement (weight) 20-28 pounds. The rating rule for the X Class is: Sail area NOT to exceed one thousand (1000) square inches, exclusive This is a small, simple-rule class for Junior model yachtsmen, or for adults sailing on ponds too small for the larger classes. Juveniles, however, have shown a decided preference for the M-Class, and have adopted the latter to the almost total exclusion of the 36-inch Class. Box measurement is permitted, by plac- ing the yacht in a box measuring, inside, 386 x 9 x 11 inches. This method has been criticized, as among other faults, it permits slewing of the model to obtain untaxed draft. The 36-inch Class rule is: L.O.A., extreme, 36 inches. BEAM, extreme, 9 inches DEPTH, extreme, 11 inches WEIGHT, maximum, 12 pounds. Sail Area, unmeasured. COMPLEX RULE CLASSES The “complex” rule classes are favored by those model yachtsmen who like to dabble in figures and formulae, and work out intricate problems involving square and cube root, etc. However, it is not necessary for the 6-Metre or A-Class fan to even understand the fvurmulae or figures, as he may obtain a correct drawing or blue-print from some accredited designer, and simply build the yacht, leaving all calculations to the designer and measurer. The complete set of rules requires a sixteen page booklet for each of these classes. These rules directly influence the type or form of hull, and generally result in a tendency toward large wetted surface, full, or pot- bellied midship section, and heavy displacement. No hollows are allowed in the surface of the hull between the L.W.L. and the sheer line, excepting in the profile of the stern forward of the point of measurement of “L’’, Severe penalties are prescribed for exceeding certain arbitrary limits set by rules and tables, involving minimum displacement, maximum draft, minimum girth difference, quarter-beam length, and other items. Most of these penalties are added to the rating, but may ordinarily be charged off by reducing the sail area. Disregard of certain other requirements or limits result in disqualification. BOSTON M.Y.C. Will be your host for the National A-Cl. Champs E-Div. X-Cl. Champs Campbell Cup — M-Cl.

A Rail Breeze at Storrow Lagoon, Boston International A-Class scale of one and two-thirds inches to the foot. The rule makes it optional with the skipper to fix a weight not exceeding 382 ounces inside the yacht, to represent the crew-weight in correct scale. The 6-Metre is smaller in size than the AClass, and accordingly shorter and lighter, and of not quite the general fine form of the A-Class. The International A-Class yacht is the heaviest model now in general use. The rule usually produces a fine form of hull, but its disadvantages are a tendency to ever-increasing length and weight. A few years ago the average boat weighed about 35-40 lbs. and measured around 70 inches over all. Today many successful boats weigh up to 65 lbs. and run as long as 90 inches. Girth measurement is taken in the 6-M Class, which system tends to cause designers to cramp in the deckline in order The A-Class deserves great credit for boosting organized model yacht racing in the United States and abroad. Featuring it in the annual International Races for the Yachting Monthly Cup, often referred to as the America’s Cup of Model Yachting, helped it acquire considerable popularity over a period of several years. to pay as little as possible in the way of end taxes. The rule generally produces full-bodied boats with moderate overhangs and rather high freeboard. This class is easier to transport and handle than the A-Class, and may be recommended to skippers who want a mediumsized scale model of an existing full-size yacht. This class was originally intended to be a model of the full-size 6-Metre class, on a scale of two inches to the foot, but using the American system of quarter- The formula is: L+2d+ VSA -F beam measurement instead of girth mea- surement. The quarter-beam measurement is said to have a tendency to force 2.37 designers to make the after ends of the L.W.L. too lean. As it stands today the rule is one strictly for model yachts, as it has never been applied to full-size The factor “d” is the girth difference, taken at 0.55 L.W.L. from its forward ending, and is the sum of the differences between the skin girth and the chain girth measured on the two sides of the yacht from the covering board to corresponding points on the hull surface at a level of 12.5% of the class rating below the L.W.L. Many other restrictions, limits and penalties are provided. yachts. The formula is as follows: L + VSA — a L VSA = Rating. (32.80, limit). J 1 qayp =Rating. 1 (1 Metre, 39.37, limit). Ten-Metre, Twelve-Metre Classes Many limits and penalties are imposed, The 10-Metre and 12-Metre are also scale models of the full-sized I.Y.R.U. Classes, but they are too shallow in draft and too light in displacement when scaled down to be outstanding racing models. The 10-M is now entirely defunct as a model, and the 12-M, approximately the too numerous to set forth here: International Six-Metre Class The Six-metre, or “Wee Six,” as it is known in Scotland, is a true scale-model of the full-size I.Y.R.U. 6-M Class, on a 18 same size as the A-Class on a scale of two inches to the foot, is fast dying out, even in Scotland, where it formerly had quite THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE CUP a following. SPEED FACTORS AND COMPARISONS The three principal factors which gov- ern the speed of model yachts, as well as full-sized ones, are length, sail area, and displacement (weight). Length, expressed as “L” in formulae, is the most important, and is the actual sailing length obtained when heeled, and not length over-all or load water-line length alone. Theoretically, to get the most speed, a hull should be easily driven, and have as great a sailing length, or “L” as possible, with the sail area powerful enough to drive the boat under average conditions. Short and full boats, with proportionately larger sail area have been proven by actual tests to be slower than the long and comparatively narrow type with proportionately smaller sail area. The long narrow type, with small sail area is embodied in the full-size Swedish Squaremetre classes, and the shorter, full-bodied type exemplified by the 6-Metre classes. Norman Skene, the American authority on yacht design, recommended several years ago that the Swedish 22 or 30 Square-metre Class be adopted, with modifications, as a racing model. Mr. Skene was for many years a member of the Boston M.Y.C. His ideas are now being worked out as several boats resembling the Square-metre Class have been built to the new X Class rule, and have proved to be extremely fast. Uffa Fox, author of the widely read “Fox” yachting books makes interesting comparisons between the Square-metre and 6-Metre Classes (full-size.) He says, “The 30-Square Metres have been de- veloped since 1908 by Sweden’s naval architects, who have worked along the lines that with a fixed sail-area, the largest possible hull with a minimum beam that could be driven fastest in all weathers, was the best possible. Or, from a power point of view, the largest hull with the smallest engine to give it the required speed is the best. And their idea is right. – “Times taken for the 6-Metres and 30Square-Metres at Stockholm, where the fastest 6-Metres in the world were racing for the One-Ton Cup and the Gold Cup, show that out of 21 races the 6-Metres were taster in 8 races, and that the 30Square-Metres were faster in 13 races. Over a series of 60 races in Scandanavia and Germany, where the same number of PROSPECT PARK, M.Y.C. BROOKLYN, N. Y. FRANK DUNNEBACHE, Commodore CHAS. H. LUCKE, Vice-Commodore GEORGE E.

MIENERTZ, Secretary INVITATION REGATTA M-Class, Apr. 7, 1940 PRINCE TROPHY A-Class, June 22, 1940 EAGLE CUP A-Class, June 23, 1940 Sixes and 30-Squares were starting, the Sixes were faster in 18 cases, but the 30Squares were faster in 42 cases. The 30’s are so much faster than the Sixes that they are a quarter of an hour faster in a ten mile race in a moderate breeze, and anything up to one half-hour faster if it is blowing hard and the sea is rough. With their light displacement they climb over the waves instead of smashing their way through, as do the 6-M boats of the International Yacht Racing Union Rule, which have practically double the displacement of the 30-Squares, and having no more reserve buoyancy cannot be expected to lift half as well to the seas as these boats.” Opponents of the Square-metre type claim that the 6-Metres, or in case of models, the A-Class, are better sea boats, and that the full-bodied heavy displacement type is the only “desirable” type. This group favors the production of noth- ing but husky, wide-beamed craft, with high free-board and chunky form, and look with horror on the longer, narrower types. Preferences of model yachtsmen are varied regarding beauty of lines, and may be compared with preferences of artists of different schools, some of these one and two-thirds inches, would be found to make a very good A-Class model, in fact the author has done this thing suc- tainments. different model classes are not entirely conclusive, as under certain conditions it is possible for a very small yacht to beat a delight in depicting the female form in well-upholstered and ample curves, while others prefer the slender and often “skinny” types of perhaps livelier at- cessfully. The above speed comparisons between much larger one, but such “wins” are nearly always due to “breaks” or fluky conditions. On the average these comparative speeds may be taken as a fair esti- As a model racing yacht is not required to be either particularly “seaworthy” or “dry”, and aims for speed mainly, it follows that if speed is really mate. wanted, that the longer, narrower types of light weight should also be classed as “desirable.” SAIL PLANS, RIGS The height and proportion of sail plans have changed considerably in the past few years. The efficiency of the modern high rig has been proven, but notwithstanding Tests between various classes of models show that in the smaller classes the 36inch is the slowest, with the M-Class considerably faster, in fact the latter often hold own with much larger models. The 6-Metre is the slowest of the larger classes, with the 10-Rater next. The 10Rater is often quite as fast as the A-Class under certain conditions. Uffa Fox’s comments on the 6-Metre and 30-Square- this fact, only the so-called ‘‘simple-rule” classes, the M, X, 10-Rater and 36-inch Restricted allow full freedom in this re- spect, while the older and more conservative types, such as the A and 6-Metres restrict the height of the rig, so that a really modern sail plan is not allowable. The height of the forestay is limited in the A, 6-Metre and M classes. This rule was made to discourage the use of extremely large spinnakers, which in some cases before restriction, were carried to the very top of the mast. There is no restriction for height of spinnaker or jibhoist in the 10-Rater, and in the M-Class the size of spinnakers is somewhat influenced by the limit of 15 inches for spinnaker-pole. Spinnakers are not allowed on the X-Class, as it is the intention of the class to use working sails only, and if spinnakers were allowed it would be possible to carry twice as much sail as the formula specifies. Metre performances are borne out by actual tests between A-Class and X-Class models, and it has been proved that a X of long load-water-line is quite as fast or even faster than the full-bodied, heavy A-Class, except in very light winds, when an A, carrying approximately 1,750 square inches of sail, plus a large spinnaker, may out-drift an X having less than 1000 square inches of sail and no spinnaker. A 30-Square-Metre, scaled down to two inches to the foot, would be slightly longer but quite as beamy as the average A, and with not more than 1291 square inches of sail. She would also be found to be about one-half the weight of the A. The average modern 6-Metre yacht, on a The jib-headed mainsail, also termed “Bermuda” or “Marconi” with a single jib, is the only. practical rig for a fast scale of two inches to the foot, instead of Come One, Come All To the BIGGEST Racing Event of the year.

More than two working sails are difficult to adjust and handle, as are multi-masted ketches, “freak” others. rigs such as_ schooners, etc., and lastly the so-called rigs, like the wishbone and The use of bent masts or spars are prohibited on the A and 6-Metre classes, but are allowed on all other classes. How- ever, it has been demonstrated that bent masts, while apparently allowing better windward work, are not entirely satisfactory on other points of sailing, and are hence seldom employed on models. Movement of Mast, Sliding Rigs – In the A, 10-Rater, and 6-Metre classes the position of the mast must be marked on deck, recorded on certificate, and may not be moved more than one-half inch fore or aft of marked position. The jibstay is regulated in the same manner. In these classes the fore-triangle is measured instead of the actual area of the foresail. This is a check on the hoist and base of spinnakers and reaching jibs. The “sliding rig” or as it has become fashionable to describe, the ‘California sliding rig” is a device that has caused considerable controversy between different schools of thought. It allows shifting of the entire rig on an M-Class yacht as much as six to eight inches, fore and aft. and carries stays, spars and rigging, including “synchro- nized sheets,” and the funnel effect of the jib, and the set of the spinnaker as one unit. Silence of the present M-Class rules allows its use only in this class. It is automatically barred from all the other classes because of the one-half inch clause, and specifically forbidden on the new X-Class. Its proponents claim that no yacht, however well-balanced, will remain in that state when the wind varies in strength, or when the lap of the waves in a “chop” against the bow forces the head of the yacht to leeward. This school believes that the balance can only be restored by changing the center of effort by a movement of the rig. They claim that the sliding rig is a scientific gear, by means of which the dynamic forces acting on a boat can be studied, and that the sliding rig is a valuable adjunct to the Vane steering gear. Those opposing the use of the sliding rig state, that for obvious reasons, a sliding-rig of this scope could not be handled on full-size yachts, with instantaneous shifting of the entire rig, weigh- ing several hundred pounds as much as one fifth of the entire over-all length, or several feet, fore or aft. A slight shift of the C.E. is obtained on certain full-size yachts of the smaller species, and consists of mechanism which moves the base of the mast a short distance fore or aft, but generally the effect is a change of rake of mast only, and cannot be compared with the 6 to 8 inches of shift possible on a 50-inch model. The opposition also claims that unfair sailing is indulged in when the rig is moved several times during a board in pond-sailing. They also class the sliding rig with the devices barred in all rating rules as objectionable, and including sliding or movable keels, weighted rudders, shifting ballast, ete., and regard it as a detriment to the design of balanced hulls. wil sail area calculation must be shown by a black band % inch wide, placed on the mast or spar, beyond which sails may not Sails The art of making well-fitting sails for models is difficult, and the novice would best entrust this task to professional sailmakers, who know from long experience what materials to use and how to cut and finish it. Their charges are reasonable and worth the cost. Such sails will be extend. Batten Limits Batten and headstick limits are imposed on all classes except the 36-inch Restricted. Four battens may be used in mainsail, and three in the jib, and are of various lengths, according to different more efficient, look better, and win more races than the average home-made variety.

BUILDING Penalties for Exceeding Allowed It is recommended that the 36-inch and the M-Class be built by the glued-up pro- Sail Area There is only one penalty imposed for exceeding allowed sail area, and that is disqualification of the yacht until the sail area is brought within the limit allowed cess on either water-lines or buttocks. For the larger classes planking is recommended, as the gluing up of large hulls is hazardous unless several dozen clamps of large size are available, and some method of assuring absolute level of each lift is at hand. Further the cost of good lumber is considerable for large glued-up models and the task of finishing the inside is laborious, while planking, frames, by the rule applying to that class. In any case it is safest to stay well below the limit, so that stretch occurring after use will not make the sail too large if re-measured. A mainsail on a large model will often stretch as much as one or two inches, according to the material and the extent of its exposure or strain. Sails should always be slacked off when not in actual use, as leaving them taut etc., are comparatively cheap. Penalties for Exceeding Measured Hull Dimensions will ruin them. The designer and builder must be careful not to violate any hull restriction prescribed by any particular rating rule.

A deficit in the minimum beam of the 6-Metre, or an excess or deficit in the 50-inch overall measurement of the M-Class also definitely disqualifies a yacht. In the matter of draft, tumble-home, L.W.L., freeboard, or minimum displacement the deficit or excess may be compensated for by a reduction of sail. However, in ’some cases these penalties could be so great as to practically ruin the chances of a yacht being anything but a very poor, undercanvassed craft. In the M and X Classes the one-inch hollow of garboard must be carefully checked, as a yacht not complying will be refused a certificate. Of course other definite rules regarding form of keels, overhanging rudders, bilge-boards, cen- A large tank, provided with movable appliances, is necessary to measure the L.W.L. correctly. In practice, the overhangs are measured by dropping a small plumb-bob from the bow and stern, to a point on the water-line finder, one end of which just touches the profile of the hull at the surface of the water. Capillary attraction makes it impossible to measure the L.W.L. correctly unless the finder method is employed. The sum of the ends is then subtracted from the over-all length, and the result is the actual L.W.L. length. A “dry-measure” machine, together with other special apparatus, is necessary to obtain correct measurement of draft, beam, quarter-beam length in the AClass, and to fix the “girth stations” in the 6-Metre Class. Accurate scales are required to determine the weight of the model, which is later expressed as “displacement in cubic inches” when working out the formula. ter-boards, etc., must be strictly observed according to the class in question. It will certainly pay you to look up the official rating rules before starting to design or build, and to check over designs you may have acquired. Many published designs purporting to be in accordance with rating rules have been hopelessly wrong, and For the “simple-rule” classes, only a steel tape and a two-inch disc are needed to complete all measurements.

Seek To Win Only by fair and lawful means, accord- ing to the rules of the game—this will leave you without bitterness toward your opponent and shame before others. Take Pleasure In The Game Even though you do not obtain the vic- tory; for the purpose of the game is not merely to win, but to find joy and strength in trying. If You Obtain The Victory Which you have so desired, think more of your good fortune than of your skill. This will make you grateful, and ready to share with others the honors bestowed upon you, and truly this is both reason- able and profitable; for it is little that any of us would win in this world were our fortunes not better than our desserts. —Henry Van Dyke Compliments of the EMPIRE M.Y.C.

SOFT and HARD WOODS DRY SELECT LUMBER for all HOBBY and MODEL WORK Quality Mill Work Many queries are made by onlookers at model yacht races about the system of matching and scoring. Important regattas are held under the tournament system, whereby each single yacht meets each of the others in turn. us with 12 entries every yacht would sail 11 races. When the allotted time is short, instead of starting in pairs, groups of 3, 4, or 5 are sent away simultaneously. The pair system is the best. as it affords less chance for fouls and gives a better ““break’’ at the start. When a foul occurrs and boats become tied up. knocked off-course, or otherwise stymied, they are returned to the line for a re-sail. Yachts receive 3 points for each windward board won, and 2 points for each leeward board—or five points for a win both ways. In 3, 4, or 5 —boat starts, additional points are awarded for each boat beaten. The last one in, regardless of the number starting in a group, receives nothing. For losing BOTH ways, the unfortunate skipper is presented with a ‘‘goose-egg.”’ A “board” (or leg), is a course in one direction on the pond. Each pair after finishing, hauls out and retrims for the retum trip, waiting until all the other pairs or groups arrive. The completion of both boards is termed a “heat,” and the finish of a match sailed on the tournament system constitutes a “round.” Shipments made promptly In skiff-sailing, or handling models from skiffs, it is customary to sail a triangular course, around buoys, thus covering the various points of sailing, —beating, reaching and running. If there is a sufficient number of skiffs. the entire fleet may start together, jockeying for a good position near the line when the starting signal is given, as in large yacht racing.
