Scripps, of the Detroit EVERAL years ago, William EE sean News, decided that the best way to keep the boys of the city off the streets would be to give them something more interesting than they could find on the side- ee i BOeet Ls walks. So he fitted up an entire floor of the News building as a practical CHAMPION model yachtsman, For- as a project for the Detroit News able in the person of Archie Arroll of the Cadillac Model Yacht Club. This is now ancient history in Detroit, but the boats turned out of careful study of conditions in tunately the right man was avail- from the designs of Mr. Arroll are still making modern history in the model yachting field. The altruism and generosity of the News in giving this design to the model yachting fraternity will be remembered gratefully by all those who benefit by using them. The model was specially designed Craftsmen’s Shop and is the result this country, by those who have learned by experience in model yacht racing. It is very fast in light winds, and at the same time is a dependable boat in a stiff breeze. After a very successful racing sea- son, in which this model was con- sistently among the winners, yachts built to this design took First Second and Third in the Mid-West Championship Finals, defeating the representatives of all visiting clubs. Before undertaking the actual construction of the model, the fol- lowing points should be carefully memorized; ers ERNE eee careful marking of lifts, center lines and sections must be the central idea in the builder’s mind, from the time he first lays a rule on the boards until he has the parts cut out and ready for gluing ee together. The placing of the lifts together for gluing must be done with the utmost precision, or the boat will be out of shape when finished. The section templates ras = OD must be carefully marked and accurately cut out, or there will be no ir way of checking the work as it proceeds. In other words, the building of this model depends upon the care _ with which innumerable small jobs are done, rather than on a few larger pieces of work. 50-800’s at Marblehead workshop, with benches, tools, and everything needed in a first-class shop. Though the boys responded with enthusiasm, a spirit of competition seemed necessary to keep their interest active. As Detroit has several model yacht clubs and is the model racing yacht center of the Middle West, the obvious solution was that the boys should build model racing yachts. Only one type of man could be fittingly placed in charge of such a shop.

There being so many entrants, the races are run in heats, the winners of the heats racing in the finals, Model makers who have shaped and dug out a glued up hull know Being anxious to join in the fun, I constructed in ten evenings’ work, a contraption which had a canvas deck, top sides of Venetian blind slats, V-bottom of two longitudinal sections of galvanized tin, straked across with adhesive surgical tape, the overpay of the canvas and ad- hesive being covered and tacked with a 4%” width of zinc floor strips.

The canvas deck was painted ivory, the hull, nile green, In each of the five boroughs, elimination races are held and the first three in each class are entitied to compete in the finals at Conservatory Lake, Central Park. The sail plan was the same as shown in the photograph. She was tuned up the day before the race. In the heat in which she was entered against fourteen boats, she came in first but was fouled with another boat in the finals.

A built up model is much easier and takes much less time to construct, is light and just as fast. Produced as a construction set, it makes an ideal model with which boys can race in a one design class. For the decks of my models, I have always used 3/32” waterproof birch plywood.

It was raced by my son, William, age 14, and won first prize at the Brooklyn pre- liminary races at Prospect Park Lake, April 26, 1936, and the finals at Conservatory Lake, Central Park, May 9, 1936.

While bracing the second bent, it may be held quite se- curely by laying a book, or some such flat object, across from the top of the bent already in place. This is better than using pins or screw clamps, as they sometimes break the glued joints when being loosened. The braces will be most easily held by using thread.
