L. LAIHT`on, Sea Scout Naval Constructor Lesson No. 1 In taking up the study of Naval Architecture, our sole aim is to provide the student with a workable :tnt:¥]petd8cean°fbseh£EL:inees{:nsdoh:hwortt°aus:£ihee¥inNs: limited a space to entirely cover the subject. Naval Architecture in its advanced forms is one of the most difficult of engineering subjects. The small boat builder approaches the subject with misgivings. This he may well do, as the subject in the advanced stages will tax the capabilities of an :gig:rdt#h:£nneetL.eeTeomweenvt::,ytg:::£o{ns#£:£ngh::Ta not be mastered by the average person. It is recommended that several students go together and form a. class, thereby gaining the benefit of the thought of a group rather than individuals. In the lessons we deal with the subject as before a class. If the students have had some mechanical drawing, well and good. If not, they will be required to study some good book giving the general outline of the subject. Any school or public library will have many good books from which to gain this knowledge. Perhaps the best way is to interest some good draftsman in your class. We cannot attempt to go into the regular drawing detail. However, an attempt will be made to cover orthographic projection and other forms of drawing, as they are applied to our need. We cannot hope to make Naval Architects out of every person who will follow these lessons. If we are able to provide a workable knowledge of all those funny lines one sees in a drawing of ship lines we will have accomplished much. There is a vast difference in designing for one’s self or for others, and in copying from the designs of others. No attempt should be lnade by anyone to design until he has mastered the entire subject. To do so will mean only failure. As we advance you will see why this is so. The Drawing Board As we must have some permanent surface upon which to work, let us consider the drawing board. Perhaps we already have a drawing board; if so, yhea::Fn3dt°h%ts::ieftuotufir.tetqrea¥ji:g:ft:h:hisoabr°d:rdBbu¥ as most of our later work will require full-size line drawings, and we have no board large enough for these, we will make one. A cheap and handy board may be built up out of most any lumber. Figure 1 shows such a rough board. It need not be square on the edges, as all the work of squaring is done by the straight edge “A.” Any ga°k°£:gsTh°u°ihbst:rcfkascew]£i]rgdeo.en::gFac::d|Chaapvaeb]:se°j an old discarded door covered with beaverboard, or a kitchen table. If the board is to be. built up 2 THE MODEL YACHT it might be even longer than shown. As many of the Class “8″ sailing models are around 100 inches long, the length might well be 12` feet. However, the width should be kept down and the board placed on horses, low down, and in such a position as to be able to work from all four sides of it. The material used should be stiff enough to prevent any amount of sag when the board is resting on the horses. Tools The proper material from which to make these curves is a question: I have some made from 5/8-inch black walnut, some of aluminum and some of cardboard. If `cardboard is used it should be of close grain and the finished curve varnished in order to make the edges hard. If of aluminum the curves should be varnished or painted to keep them from marking the drawing. The purchased curves will in m`ost cases be of celluloid, which is the best material for these tools, but hard to get, and costly. These we will list as standard and special tools. Under standard tools we need : One T-squa,re, 36-inch blade. One triangular boxwood scale (architects). One 30 by 60 degree triangle (larger the better). One 30 degree by 60 degree triangle (small 8-in.) One 45 triangle (medium,10 inch). About all there is to making these curves is to properly transfer their outline to your material, cut them out, and file the edges smooth. There must be no nicks, humps, or flat spots along the working edges. The straight edges will also come under special tools. Two of these will be required.

Under the heading of Special Tools-I say “special” because in most cases they will not be found at a local stationers, but he can get them for you from any manufacturer of drawing materials on a special order : Foremost are the ship curves. These may be purchased singly or in sets of 121 curves known :3s;`CS°8%:nh3guetnwseh££ocnuortvers;:ufrseucahf%,[Se:e¥°u# Figure 2 I have shown several of the best. If purchased singly they will average $1 each. But why buy them? In order that you may make these up yourself and thereby save several dollars I have drawn the sketch full size. THE MODEL YACHT has the tracing and can furnish you a blueprint I rom it. one for the edge of the board should be made % inch by 4 inches by length of the board plus 3€ the length of the T-square head on each end. The material may be any good hard wood. Maple, oak, walnut or mahogany are the best woods for this. We will also require a smaller straight edge 34 inch by 2 inches by 48 inches, which we will use later in our work. I have also shown, in the sketch, two forms of spline. weights. These weights can be purchased or made from lead or iron, and are used to hold a flexible batten known as a “spline,” which we will use later in laying down and fairing up our line drawings. Do not make these splines yourself. Better results can be had with manufactured splines. Get one 48 inches long of celluloid which lists at $1-.10. Do not get maple splines, as they are too stiff for our requirements. Let us consider the building of our board and the collecting of tools as our first lesson. (Next month we will try and see what this is all about.) THE MODEL YACHT 3 Rating Rules for the International Model A, or Six Meter Class In response to many requests we present here the measurement and rating rules of the International Model Yacht Racing Association covering the A-Class, or Six Meter Class. Hope later to discuss the American rules.

The base of the fore-triangle sha.11 be marked on the deck, bowsprit or other spar. Should the mast be moved, the base of the fore-triangle must be adjusted so that the measured base is not exceeded. Limits of movement of base of fore-triangle must also be marked on deck, bowsprit or other spar. (Next month the dope on measuring the sails.) TrlE MODELMARER I’ve just untangled a crick out of my back that I got from poring over a series of the 1928 issues of “The Modelmaker.” Here’s a paper that will interest you. It is a little teller, like this one, devoted also to the interests of model aero, railroad, engine and similar fine work. I find it very interesting, and so will you. It’s a good paper, too; you should see what it has had to say about THE MODEL YACHT ! It is not only full of meaty reading matter, but its illustrations, and especially the diagrams and working drawings, are fine. A lot of educated and experienced engineers, designers and architects in one form of construction or another must give a lot Of time to preparing the material “Modelmaker” prints.

That is, from the small one-man row boat which took days to plan and build, and :in;ed:t]eaa:;aive:|i;nag:tit:seii.£=g?hofy:;r:t¥°if:i££:#g; #.ya,o#gu|c#: tt: :ionga¥ defiEelieY|it:f tEnryo¥ good sailorman who has skippered his yacht to gblrgyedatovfi?:::yananadpppeyad:i}gtos°ket:Sthne°tdobc::: away.„ To the writer following the model over a course and watching her every move in the various flaws is more than half his pleasure. While I am by no means against the sailing of models on the shore to shore system, I am very much against the idea which seems to be brewing of making it almost compulsory in any model yacht club, as seems to be the case among our English ::i:S,!£:real;S::8a:=a;]n°:¥stkt]:ff%t¥::]e::fg:i::;trogou#:?ct:I::; even to consider and I am a little surprised that they come from one who only two years ago was such an enthusiastic skiff man. Why the change? It certainly is a fact that my esteemed friend Joe Weaver, who has sailed models from shore to shore, but who for years has sailed from a skiff and carried his model to many a victory, had not lost the art of I)ond sailing when he lost to the English yacht by inches only in the recent international races at Gosport, England.

So with a far away look in my eye I dream of that rainbow-hued pirate felucca tha,t one of these days is to grace one of my tables. I’ve just been nosing through Captain Mccann’s three volumes on this subject; three journeys into the construction Of a galley, or Barbary Coast pirate felucca; a galleon; a clipper ship; and, finally, good O/d Jro”f¢.cJeS. The last is the most recent of this series, just published this year. Written by a master mariner who stire seems to know his business, you are taken from the hanging of a rudder to the proper ogee curves to put in molding for the deck house! From keel to truck and from bowsprit-end to monkey rail, this writer takes you by the hand and shows you how even the most inexperienced ship builder can turn out a creditable job. Not only that, but he shows you first how you can take it easy by building a simplified job, then as you get the hang of things and your thumbs turn to fingers, how to do the details. I don’t know that anything has proved such thoroughly interesting reading, and studying, as this series. The model builder, who has “been there before,” will certainly get a lot out of Capt. E. Armitage Mccarm’s books. On the other hand, I unhesitatingly recommend them to the youngster who doesn’t know a fid from a fidley (you won’t find them on a sailing packet, but they grow on steam wagons). theYmepth:oLfgfi’f¥L£%D¥L£'[¥yA°cu±Ta:€g2°.goc:Biegc:: BLOCKS FOR SHIP MODELS Have just been handling some samples of the type of blocks manufactured by 8.

He designs his own craft and backs his own ideas by building the models he has put on paper. His words therefore carry the weight of tests, and are not theory. In a very carefully prepared volume the writer lays before you the rudiments of design and takes up a study of the forces of propulsion and other factors, a knowledge of which is necessary to success. This does not mean that the book is meant solely for either the designer or the experienced modelmen, although there is a world of information for them; but the novice in miniature yacht construction can carry his work through to success by following the hints Mr. Moore describes f rom what he has found in actual sailing. It is probably most difficult for a writer to encompass in one book all the ideas that are developed from time to time, but it is safe to say this book includes the best. The designs of some very successful model yachts, executed by wellknown designers, are included. “We cannot recommend this book too highly,” Says r¢e fiwddcr, one of our foremost yachting publications. “Within its covers we were able to fiird the answer to every model question.” And you can’t beat that. There is really little use trying to tell you all the good things this book holds for you. The best ;ho£:]r8sef]:.ryftui°£[]d°§t£:ntuyyoauc%%yas€.5fio?da#t;t?: worth every cent. After building a good hull too many modelmen are Satisfied with any sort of makeshift rigging that will hold. Usually these jury rigs don’t stand ap and are always giving way. If the hull is any good it deserves good gear and rigging. 7 A SHIP MODEL PRIZE COMPETITION It is coming near the time to buy the familiar Christmas Seals sold by the National Tuberculosis Association for its fund for the anti-tuberculosis E8c:trisid¥:uth%r££;Le,I::£]iao:awd£S:rttit:nmg’a:dm¥:i]e: You’ll buy wads of them anyway.

The single requirement is that the galley type should be ardhered to, and that her sail carry the double-barred cross, symbol of good health. It is understood that some of the local associations were unable to organize their competitions in time, so if information is not locally available, write to the Association at 370 Seventh Avenue, New York City, for the particulars and a copy of Mr. Thatcher’s booklet showing how simple the construction is. The competition will be open in two classes-to school children in grades under the tenth, and to adults and students above that grade. MORE ON `’PATSY” The remark has been made that the lines of Pofs„ in the October number do not fair up. That is true. It is difficult to build a model from lines that are photographically re|)roduced, as there is sure to be a certain amount of distortion. It is not to be recommended that you build from such lines unless you are sufficient of a designer to do your own fairing up and adjustments. As a general thing, yacht lines are printed for your information, not guidance. The yacht designer has blueprints to sell you. That’s his business, and it is not to be expected he will put in hours of experience, labor and time only to give away the results.

Sea Scouts are instructed, not only in seamanship and small boat handling, but in the more technical Subjects as well, navigation, sea history and naval architecture. with so much favor that Thomas J. Keane, the National Sea Scout director, requested some of the first work be exhibited at the Fifth National Training Conference of the Boy Scouts of America.

To this end we publish this month a design from the board of F. T. Wood, of Philadelphia, who needs no introduction. If you like the little yacht, tell us; if you don’t, tell us anyway. If you think you can 11 BUILD LIGHT F. T. Wood, of Philadelphia, writes : “As a matter of fact, I regard the PcerJess as my most likely Six Meter class model, as she has shown me a brand of speed that I do not believe the other Sixes can equal. She is built lightly, 7 pounds weight, and carries 34y2 pounds of lead, a ratio of ballast to displacement of .831%. There is only one other Six Meter that has a higher ratio than this, namely, the A4¢r¢.¢os¢, Wellington Rindge’s model, with a ratio of .8437o ; 31 pounds of lead to a displacement Of 3694 pounds. Also, possibly, the SJ¢.¢Per.” Lsi¥s!:[iffn8otu|drfssukr;tapsectfrssed:seigd,::in:thitshfciEs:ye#: Wood is a designer who believes in lightness of construction as one of the main points to a good hull.

Mr. Wood writes he MINIATURE BOAT BUILDING Have you seen Albert Leitch’s new book, “Miniature Boat Building?” Here is a book that will attract the interest of the novice, because it goes into the simplest problems of the sailing and power model, and yet will attract the experienced modelman also because it has a fund of information useful to him.

STATEN ISLAND 12 THE MODEL YACHT With the Clubs Boston The Boston M. Y. C. is busy with plans for the model yacht display to be made at the annual Motor Bo-at Show and the Sportsman’s Show, which will be held during the winter. The club has charge of model yacht exhibits and ordinarily has several hundred entrants, including craft built by the school lads of the city. Prizes are awarded and altogether these two activities give a mighty fine bit of publicity for the game. More details later. Model Yacht Clubs We have the names of some 33 model yacht clubs scattered in as nrany cities around the country. With only a few of these are we in active touch. Maybe we haven’t the correct addresses. Maybe the clubs have gone blooey. However, we know that someone is usually receiving our letters because they have a return address on the envelope and none have returned ! Looks like carelessness on the part of the addressees. We want to remain in touch with these clubs. We want to get in touch with others of which we have not heard. But we will be eternally gumfoozled if we are going to waste postage, paper, time and energy on a bunch of cusses who haven’t the gimp to reply to a feller’s letter. In the future we intend to waste no time on the clubs that can’t answer us. We will run their names in the Club Directory only once more, and if we don’t hear from them then-wham! Off they go from the mailing list. Melrose Highlands M. Y. C. This organization closed its season October 12 with fine races in three classes, three-foot, Class “R” and Class “A.” The Wildon Cup for Class “A” boats was won by Do/¢¢¢.„, Mr. Ollie Harris, of Somerville, designer and builder. prove profitable. Toledo, Ohio E/ C¢¢¢.£o7¢ JJJ, Six Meter class yacht designed, built, owned aiid raced by A. M. Youngquist, walked over a list of five other entries in races at Belle Isle on September 23. Besides the Toledo club the entries represented the Detroit and Chicago M. Y. C.’s. There was such a stiff br-eeze over the triangular course it was necessary to have two oarsmen to keep up with the yachts. The trophy was a handsome cup. This was the same craft that took prizes in the Toledo free for all races in July and won the Lake Erie championship. The young members of this club ha,ve specialized on a 42-inch sloop designed by Mr. Youngquist, and a successful class it is. This cup is raced for on July 4, Labor Day and Columbus Day, the Class “A” boat having the highest points for these three races holds the cup for one year; the skipper winning the cup three seasons becomes permanent owner ; the name of the boat holding it for each season is engraved on the mug. Season’s championship in Class “R” was won by W. J. Malanson and his 7¢7fo¢.£e S¢a7/ro€c;. Three- foot class chami)ionship went to D. Wildon, having been annexed by his P%cb”£o#c. At the October meeting the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: George Clive, Commodore; T. D. Wildon, Vice-Commodore; Julian Carpenter, Treasurer; and A. R. Brown, Secretary. A committee of three: A. R. Brown, W. J. Ma,1anson and Ollie Harris, were electd to act as judges in cases of protest, pass on boats as to eligibility for class competition and act generally as a rule committee and final court of appeals for disputes, etc. Marblehead M. Y. C. This organization races at Reds Pond, Marblehead and carries on until freezing weather. Reds Pond is a small sheet Of water, ideal for bank to bank sailing, and this live organization is helped by the town. This spring the town of Marblehead appropriated a substantial sum for improvement, a stone walk was built around one end of the pond which was low; there are one or two troublesome ledges which the town fathers intend to take care of shortly. When this is done Reds Pond will leave nothing desired for bank to bank sailing. The club has just rented a room on the banks of the pond and the members, twenty odd in number, are all turning to with paint brush and tools fixing up a cozy retrea.t where they can fan and plan when the snow flies. They pla,n to make the club room a source of revenue by selling hot dogs, coffee, etc., to the skaters this winter; a good idea and should , The 1928 season provided the finest racing we have ever had, attracted several new prospects who have started building, so things for 1929 lock fine. There are seven new boats started now which will mean well filled classes. Washington At the monthly meeting Of the Washington (D. C.) M. Y. C. on November 9, J. R. Branham, builder and owner of J14o#e (from the lines o£ Potter’s B”7i7&ay) became the holder of the club’s “Secretary’s Cup.” This trot)hy was posted for the first time this year by A. G. Buhrmann, Secretary of the club, for the yacht making the highest aggregate score in series of races for both skiff and shore-to-shore sailing during October. J14a}#c came out five or six points ahead of the next in line, although not having been entered in all of the series. Six Six Meter class yachts participated all the way through. Straight windward-leeward races were run on the Lincoln Memorial Pool, while the course on the Tidal Basin was a mile triangle. The trophy will become the property of the skipper maintaining the highest scores for the next three years. St. Augustine, Fla. The St. Augustine M. Y. C. is stepping around after a lively fleet of about 42 trim yachts, only one of which is a “store” boat. It is a real livewire outfit and promises to make a noise shortly. TI-IE MODEL YACHT A NEW CONSTRUCTION SET FOR A CHRISTMAS GIFT qITHB MODmBmo CIfA®HqIT The Maga2!ine of Model Yachting Published Monthly at 3605 Fourteenth Street N.

F. L.’s idea is to arrange a spring effect to hiiiged propeller blades so that as soon as the centrifugal force of the revolving prop weakens as it slows, the blades will fold back. This will bring the weight of the prop farther aft and thus the model will be in better trim for a longer glide. Folded back in this fashion the blades will be less likely to smash in coming to earth. This idea is completely Herreshoff’s, and those interested will probably get some good dope by writing to him. 13 ing up a good model, the construction set, with most of the hard work already done for the young builder, is a great help.
