The April 1885 issue of The Model Yachtsman and Canoeing Gazette highlights the formation of new clubs in Manchester and Liverpool, while urging the establishment of a club in Brighton [1]. The publication outlines technical suggestions, including multi-rig racing and the issuance of measurement certificates for 10-tonners to ease inter-club competition [1]. Additionally, the issue features an account of an English model yacht competing in French waters and reports on racing activity on the Alster in Hamburg.
