A DISSERTATION ON MODEL YACHTING BY THE EDITOR “HEATHER”, 6-M MODEL YACHT, ON THE WIND Model Yachting This sketch is dedicated to the Great American Public, and deals with the engaging sport of model yachting. Assuming that the reader is one of the many thousands who drop in on regattas at the model yacht basin in “our town,” you naturally wish to know what it is all about, and to follow the game knowingly, and even to join in it for your personal interest or that of your youngster. Hence, if you do not possess a model yacht, you will, no doubt, build or buy one. Excels as a Sport As an interesting indoor hobby, com- bined with the healthful outdoor sport and recreation, few other hobbies or sports compare with model yachting, and none excel it. Some phase of it can be followed any time of the year, any place, and regardless of the weather. The winter months can be spent studying the art and science of the game from books devoted to the subject, obtainable at most public libraries. The long winter evenings pass quickly when you engage in designing, drafting, building or overhauling a model. Such work can be conveniently done at home, in the attic, spare room, or cellar workshop. Many winning models have been built on the kitchen table with only a few simple tools, and one fellow built a beautiful job in a small apartment bathroom, with boards across the tub for a bench! For the long outdoor season, the weather does not have to be just so; you can sail in cold weather, or rainy weather, if you choose, and rarely is there insufficient wind. Every day, in fact, is a good sailing day, nor does one have to make arrangements ahead to use the pond, for the sport is yet uncrowded. An Inexpensive Sport Model yachting has the further advantage of being inexpensive, and costs no more (generally less) than other popular sports such as angling, archery, tennis, golf, bowling, ete. Sufficient skill to take part in regattas is no more difficult to acquire than to perform creditably in other sports. Most persons learn to handle a model proficiently in a season of frequent sailing. Club dues are nominal, averaging three or four dollars a year. Models are sometimes described as being worth “hundreds of dollars,” which figures are bound to discourage further inquiries on the part of most prospective builders or purchasers. The fact is that they are certainly worth this if the element of time expended in construction, design, etc., are considered, but for all practical purposes this should be discounted, and only the actual cost of materials figured. The answer will then be quite different. Building materials may cost as little as four or five dollars for the hull, deck and other wooden parts, depending upon the sagacity of the buyer and the rapacity of the lumber-dealer. Prices also vary according to locality; in some communities suitable wood is fairly sponsorship of local, sectional, national, and international clubs, providing great opportunity for friendly, co-operative, and competitive racing, for which valuable trophies are awarded. Boys and girls have their own organizations, and schools and groups of youngsters are engaged in turning out thousands of real racing models under the guidance of experienced instructors. Racing and Competition for All In official racing, a course is indicated by setting up flags at opposite ends of the basin. The imaginary line between each pair of flags represents the starting and finishing lines. A judge is assigned to each end to decide the winners. The contestants race in pairs called up by a starter according to a fixed scheddule. The pairs are all first raced into the wind, or on a “beat,” at distances which prevent fouling, and must start in the same direction or ‘“tack.’”’ When they come to shore, they are turned about on the other tack, and thus continue zigzag fashion until they cross the line, and the winner receives three points. When all the pairs are across, they are raced back with the wind, or on a “run,” using a steering device acting on the rudder, which takes the place of the man at the tiller in a large yacht. The winner of a run is given two points. Thus, each entrant meets and sails against all others in turn, and the highest total score wins the race. In case of fouls, the race is re-sailed, or in certain cases, skippers disqualified. All sailing is gov- cheap, in others dear. Fittings are another matter, and the expensive, showy kind may run _ into money, but simple, practical ones will fill the bill and may mostly be made at home. A good suit of sails costs from $3.50 to $7.00, according to the material used and their size. Home-made sails are not recommended. Second-hand yachts may be purchased from $25.00 up to $50.00, and it is seldom that a really good craft is sold for less. Of course the record of the yacht has a lot to do in determining the sale value. Most skippers build a new boat each year, and it is generally from this source that the “boughten” yachts originate. An Old Sport, Well Organized The sport is an old and honorable one, conducted under standard rules throughout the entire country, and under the “GAMECOCK”, Typical M-Class Yacat erned by official rules promulgated by the national association, or M. Y. R. A. A. Four Official Classes There are four official classes of models, the “Marblehead,” the “A,” the All of “X” and the 6-Metres class. these classes, although quite divergent in size and weight, are highly seaworthy when properly designed, and will live in open water as long as the sea is not so rough as to break down the rigging. open Many sailors navigate them on water following with a rowboat. Any person desiring to build and race a model will find the members of the yachting fraternity more than willing to help in the choosing of plans and materials and in the building, sailing and racing of miniature yachts. There are also a few desirable models for sale from time to time for persons not inclined or situated so they may build models. 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 overall 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 overall measurement allowed. The following are prohibited: movable or sliding keels, metal fin- keels, center-boards, bilge-boards, lee-boards, bowsprits, overhanging rudders, movable or shifting ballast. INTERNATIONAL 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 “PIONEER”, Typical A-Class Yacht inches over all. Today many successful boats weigh up to 65 lbs. and run as long as 90 inches. 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 quarterbeam measurements instead of girth measurement. The quarter-beam measurement is said to have a tendency to force 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 yachts. The formula is as follows: L+YvSs % LXxXvS 4 12 X WD = Rating 1 Metre: 39.37 in. limit. Many limits and penalties are im- posed, too numerous to set forth here. 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, that 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. The average dimensions, etc., of several designs give the following figures: L.0O.A., 60 to 75 inches; L.W.L., 48 to 54 inches; Beam, 9 to 12 inches; Displace- ment (weight), 20-28 pounds. The rating rule for the X-Class is: Sail area NOT to exceed one thousand (1000) square inches, exclusive 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. 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 scale of one and two-thirds inches to the foot. The rule makes it optional with the skipper to fix a weight not exceeding 32 ounces inside the yacht, to represent the crew-weight in correct scale. The 6-Metre is smaller in size than the A-Class, and accordingly shorter and lighter, and of not quite the general fine form of the A-Class. “BLIx”, Typical X-Class Yacht The formula is: L + 2d + VBA —F: 2.37 l = Rating. (32.80, limit). 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. A yachtsman has the reputation of being a particularly high-grade sportsman. His work is mostly done in the open, where his actions can be observed Govern yourself accordingly! by all.

Y. Your Hobby larly with the building of mantel-models of sailing ships, etc., of the various eras, but the sport of miniature yachting makes it possible for such persons to see what the results of their labor will do in a breeze under full sail and against other boats of similar size. In other words, the miniature racing yacht does not collect dust on the mantel or other places in the home as most ship models do, or for that matter, like many other articles a craftsman might build. Individuals in all walks of life seek some sort of hobby to occupy their leisure time. Whether these people know it or not there is a reason, and a very definite one, for having a hobby. It makes little difference what subject a person selects so long as it is something in which considerable interest can be manifested. The important reason for having something sincere to do as a pastime is, in the final analysis, a mental one, and through the use of the mind on something decidedly different, considerable relaxation and rest is afforded. “Now,” you say, “that’s all right for you fellows who have the-adaptability to go ahead and build and race these boats, but I’m sure that I haven’t the patience or the time, or the tools necessary to turn out such beautiful jobs, and furthermore, I don’t know the first thing about yachts.” Now, with the mind thus occupied, it is a natural sequence that the rest of the body follows this tendency, thus affording something all around. Variety, they say, is the spice of life, so what could be more suitable in this regard than a thoroughly sound hobby? Well, the point is, you’ll never learn any younger. If you have no patience Why don’t you, as an individual, become a yachtsman, a miniature yachtsman, and enjoy all of the thrills of not only owning and racing your own yacht in active, nationally organized, classified competition with fellow yachtsmen, but in due course designing and building your own boat? Take it from one who knows, who has had his fingers in many different hobbies and pastimes over a considerable period of time, that there is nothing today to be found anywhere as a hobby that will give such immeasurably now, you will have certainly acquired that priceless virtue after building your first yacht. As far as the time is concerned, experience shows most folks just say they haven’t the time, while actually it would only mean possibly a_ rearrangement of their time to make it possible to complete a boat. The tools required are surprisingly few, and there is really nothing seriously difficult in the construction of these beautiful racing yachts. We all know many people who like to tinker with their hands, more particu- When I first took up the sport of miniature yacht building and racing, I didn’t even know the name of each sail on a yacht, much less the particular function of each. However, the human mind can, if really interested, pick up what it wants to know in surprisingly large returns for such a small (and I mean small) monetary investment, and provide not only one of the most absorbing of hobbies, but an active and competitive outdoor recreation. SOUTH JERSEY M. Y.-C. “FOR BETTER SAILING” Presents the new model yacht basin, on the Cooper River Parkway at Camden, N. J. 17 YOUR HOBBY Cont. fast time. This is mentioned simply to illustrate the point that newcomers shouldn’t be afraid of anything in the least when considering becoming a miniature yachtsman. Just think for a moment and picture in your mind’s-eye your own boat, your own creation, “out there in the briny deep” sails full and drawing, slicing beautifully through the water. Think what a thrill this could be to you. It’s a sight that you will always enjoy. So why not get yourself started on this hobby? Write to the National Secretary, whose address is elsewhere in this booklet, or visit any of the local clubs, the members of which I am sure you will find more than willing to assist you. Finally, you don’t know how good or bad a miniature yachtsman you would make unless you try it. Neither do you know what latent abilities you have. For all anyone knows, you may have the latent skill necessary to make you one of the top-ranking skippers. Further, as you progress with the sport, the natural sequence would be for you to study yacht architecture as applied to miniatures, and, who knows, you may be a famous designer in hiding, or let us say, undeveloped. In other words, through the application of study and observation it is entirely possible for anyone in this excellent sport to develop abilities and talents it is safe to say one never knew he had. Now the cost of building one of these boats represents but a few dollars investment and if built properly, will last several years. The cost of belonging to a local club close to which you may live is ridiculously low, in many cases is as low as 25 cents a month per member. As the saying goes, “The best things in life are free,” and this just about plies to this particular hobby. When active you have competition your own against boat others, ap- in you can’t help but enjoy the really thrilling spectacle of yachts racing against each other and as beautiful a sight as you will see anywhere. More important still, however, is the fact that this active competition forces your mind to forget all its daily routine and troubles and become thoroughly engrossed in something decidedly different and extremely enjoyable. Don’t overlook the possibility of social contact. In this sport many lasting friendships have been formed that would otherwise never have materialized, Now, as stated above, the sport of racing miniature yachts is under organized jurisdiction, that of the Model Yacht Racing Association of America, under whose burgee over fifty locally organized clubs participate. More than ever, the success of any hobby such as this depends to a very large extent on organized supervision and since its existence the guidance of the M. Y. R. A. A. has manifested itself in developing this sport and hobby to a tremendous extent. It lends an untold prestige to your endeavors and provides the highest respect from your fellow men to you as one of its many skippers. When you get going with this hobbv, I am sure that your enthusiasm will know no bounds. So do what is suggested above, do it now, do it today, and get started. Time’s a wasting. GEORGE E.

FRIENDSHIP Model yachtsmen were primarily attracted to the hobby because of a desire to design, build or sail a model yacht. If our first attempt was at all success- ful, we were encouraged to attempt a better design and produce a boat that would out-sail someone’s else. In other words, desire for self-expression and that somewhat selfish instinct to do something a little better than the other fellow seems to be the chief motives behind our undertakings. If we stop and think, however, we realize that eclipsing all else is the fact that the sport has provided us with one of the best luxuries of life—real friends. Having nothing more in common than a basic attraction to model yachting, we find men from all walks of life, rich and poor, young and old, banded together, counselling one another, and gradually developing mere acquaintance into true and lasting friendship.

Sometimes a cone or ball is used, for instance, the preliminary signal may be by sound, and the starting signal by cone or ball. A board with a dial painted upon it like that of a watch is sometimes used, with movable hands indicating the passage of time by seconds. Generally a preliminary signal and a starting signal are adequate, but sometimes a warning signal precedes these. In the start from scratch usually only one signal is given. In all cases, if any yacht or skiff crosses the starting line before the starting signal is given, she must put back and start over. A boat is considered to be across the line, starting or finish, when the foremast of a schooner or the mainmast of a sloop crosses the line. The bow is not recommended, being too difficult to observe at any distance. In races where times are taken it takes three or four men to handle the event properly. At the start four officials divide their duties as follows: One handles the signals, one the gun, one on the line, and one holding the watch and other method, especially when several yachts cross within a few seconds of each other. The scorekeeper unscrambles the figures and posts the results, which are checked by the four officials, and the result reported to the O.D.

There are many points to be considered in his work, points that help the skippers and mates to enjoy the sport, and cutting down the friction that so often makes it hard for all hands, points that go to make the Regatta a success, points that can make all hands and the spectators happy and anxious to ‘‘come back again.” The best of all points I learned as an official under Capt. Lazell, and if credit is extended to me, I feel that he should share it also. He never lost his temper, and never reversed his decision after he had given it. And that has been my atti- tude right through the many years that I have been on duty. I have run up against friction and a protest or two, but the Sailing Committee in each case supported me. But enough of what has passed, though it has a bearing upon the question: how to Regatta with anything up to 36 entries. game much depends upon important factor is detail, co-operation run a In this but the between most the skippers and officials, without which no O.O.D. can expect to get through a big program, or, as the Captain would say, ‘‘the big race.” his own little others. But ‘‘tricks,’’ when some they having know that The Officer of the Day for the British A-Class Championship Regatta of the appointed by the Council of December meeting, the last term of office. Every year it following year is the M.Y.A. at the meeting of their appears more diffi- cult to get men to act as officials, so many are sailing, and there are not so many others that know the sailing rules. I will not ask a man to act unless I know that he has some understanding of the rules. One can get into a hopeless mess if this is not followed out. You must keep in mind that skippers and mates sometimes know more about the rules than some ill-chosen official does, so in my opinion, no man should take the job of O.0.D. unless he knows a little bit more than the skippers and mates. When Assistant O.0.D. under Mr. Marshall at Gosport, I made up a little book for my own use, and it contained every detail that had ref- erence to the duties of the O.0.D. I could put my finger on any question that came up, and more you deal, information that has served me well when taking part, as each man has his own individualthan all together before the race starts and tell them a thing or two, and they have come to know that it is all for their good and for their pleasure. But it is co-operation that makes success possible. from this I became secure in my own mind regarding the facts to be considered. I know that Mr. Marshall often called on me for the rule in certain cases. From this I learned a good A great asset is to know the men and the boats ity, Carpenter know them, well, you don’t see so many ‘‘tricks’’ in a tight corner. being pulled off. from year to year, I make it a point to get them BOSTON M.Y.C.

Early in January I start work for the Regatta, which takes place in late July and early August, my first point, or objective, being the fixing of the list of officials. The result of this feature is that long before the start of the Regatta each Official knows his duties. Next to the O.O.D. I consider the position of Starter most important. The Assistant O.O.D. is usually one of the Starters. A great deal depends upon the Starters, especially when the entries are over thirty. They can make or spoil the Regatta. True, the O.0.D. selects the Starters, but so much depends upon them that their selection must be well considered before the appointment is made. Again, a Starter who knows the skippers He can and the boats has a great advantage. judge the spacing in starting the pairs, and not get them off too close together, or too far apart. He can prevent a fast pair sailing through a slow pair in advance, which often is the cause of endless re-sails. The Umpires have to be men who know the rules and they are open all the time. who carries on a spectator or friend the oncoming pairs, expected to keep their eyes I have no use for the man long conversation with a and who turns his back to and often there are several pairs sailing at one and the same time. know the ropes, and it is seldom that I find them making an error. Let them help the O.O.D. in checking scores and they will soon discover that they must be accurate. The official Scorer is an important man, his duty being to gather the scores from the Judges at either end of the course and to post the result on the master score sheet and scoreboard for the records and the interest of the general public, and so the skippers can cheok their individual scores quickly at the end of each heat. A Judge is appointed for each end of the lake. He is the man who gives the result to the Scorer, and Each Umpire has The Red is for a re-sail (no score), the Blue indicates other words, started this system at Gosport proved a great help to all hands. of talk and shouting over the helps the Scorers and Judges.

M-CLASS (International Marblehead EDITOR’S NOTE. Mr. Carpenter is one of the best known personalities in Model Yachting. His illuminating paper on conducting races is worthy 6-M CLASS (International 6-Metres Class) International A-Class) 50-800 Class) X-CLASS (American 1000 square-inch Class) of study. It seems that more time is expended and preparations made much earlier “across the pond”’ 24 than in the U.S.A. Here we find that early arrangements generally fail, as last minute changes usually occur. Closing of entries the evening before the races causes trouble, as invariably a skipper or two will appear an hour before the race starts and demand the right to enter. If the skipper has come a long way it is seldom that he is refused, hence such a rule is useless. Further, when every entry is made within the time-limit it sometimes turns out that one or two boats fail to start, owing to accident, lateness of the skipper or other reasons. Hence the missing yacht must be scratched, and if two are missing it will then be necessary to change all the starting sheets over again. The best method is for the host club to provide, say from four to six copies of schedules, ranging from four yachts right up to thirty or forty. Then it is the work of only a minute to find the right combination, and distribute the copies to the officials. The Master-Sheet can be made up, drawing numbers for those present, and if others show up, add them as received. Official starting schedules for various numbers of yachts in pairs, threes, fours and fives, etc., are being prepared for publication. Just before the race starts the yachts present may be tallied, and the corresponding starting schedule copied from the official starting schedule. If pressed for time, the first few heats only need be copied, and the remainder filled in later, as the race progresses. RHODE ISLAND Model Yacht Club Pool at Roger Williams Park PROVIDENCE, R. I.
