Manchester M.Y.C., Feb. 15th, 1886. Tue Eviror, 7he Afodel- Yachtsman., DEAR Sir,—I was sorry to see by Mr. Lear’s letter in your last issue, that the ‘Serpentine’ Club, does not view the ‘“Challenge Cup” you purpose to raise in the same light Manchester supports the idea solely in as we do here. the interest of ‘“‘model yachting,” feeling sure that such a prize would do more to bring it on a level with other popular sports, than any thing else, and I think that the difficulty of the safe keeping of the cup can be easily got over. For instance, what ever club wins it, let them deposit it in the public museum, with a suitable inscription, or, let the Commodore of the club be the holder. And asa sop for the owner of the winning boat, let a good money prize go to him. The majority of our members are strongly opposed to large money prizes, as it so nearly approaches professional sport, but would be in favour of moderate money prizes in inter-club matches. ‘Manchester’ certainly intends to offer inducements for other clubs to pay them a visit at least once a year, and hope to pay return visits, so that our members old model-yachtsman friend has opened my very agreeably by sending me a treat in the shape of a copy of the Afodel VYachtsman and Canoeing Gazette.” feel obliged He adds—“I shall by your placing my name on your list of subscribers, and letting me know whether back numbers of your journal can be obtained.” John MacGregor, so widely and perhaps better known as “ Rob Roy,” says he has just seen our Gazette for the first time, his attention having been called thereto by a copy being placed in his hands. We are thankful for his notice and kindly commendation. An American subscriber wishes they had a similar spirit in model yachting to what we have here ; and we have received letters from several more correspondents who say they have had the Afodel- Yachtsman brought to their notice for the first time by some friend. We are satis- fied by these ‘communications that some of our friends are sending out extra copies as desired by us to make our journal better urge on others to do the same. known, and we If each subscri- ber was to send a copy out twice a year, our circulation would soon be doubled, and we should be able to increase the value of the paper. 36 THE MODEL-YACHTSMAN. thinks the danger of the proposed Canoeing.

Mr. Holmes says he has induced eight or ten to volunteer to attend the meet, he approves of the wherry as suggested, and mentions that ‘Cassy’ and ‘Alice’ had a pleasaat cruise on the Norfolk waters a year-and-a-half ago, Mr. E. B. Tredwen, writing on the same date, says the banks of the Broads are not suitable for camping on, he therefore advises that camping outfit be left behind, and the wherry be depended on for sleeping accommodation. He gives several use- ful suggestions on the programme to be followed out, and expresses the opinion that a canoe cruise of this kind should become an annual affair, and cites the success of the American gatherings as an encouragement to make a start. Mr. R. M. Richardson writes on Jan. 30th, expressing approval. He has been to the Broads twice before, and still would go again. Two boats would probably attend from the Tyne. He agrees with Mr. Tredwen that the country is not suitable for camping out. to the We hope this meet will take place, whatever locality is chosen, but if it is to be the succeess that many desire, on behalf of canoeing generally, some- one will have to give way, as diversity of opinion will exist even if a second paradise was proposed, We are free to admit that I.och Lomond seems to offer the most attractions, but the place chosen should be that to which the greatest number incline. It is a moot point if a conglomeration of boats in companionship is an evil. shallow There are all sorts of water craft assembled at the meets in America, and we suspect it is partly this intermixture which makes them so successful and su enjoyable. The only way to spread canoeing is to get some spectators of an aquatic turn of mind, It cannot be expected that people who never see a canoe should hanker after one. “Rob Roy ” did not set canoeing afloat by keeping it all to himself, and unless something out of the ordinary way is done the select few English canoeists will have their solitude unbroken. the scheme has not yet received official sanction, REVIEW OF YACHTING. and it is quite possible a cruising ground may be N article on the above subject, commenced in chosen in another division of the kingdom, there- the Boy’s Own Paper of the issue of Feb- “ Nautilus” writes Feb. 13th, pointing out that ANNUAL MODEL fore it is inadvisable to raise promises of attend- ruary 6th, should be read by all model yachtsmen, ance before it is actually settled.

It also suggests the possibility of the Lord Mayor of London following the example of the Mayors of Liverpool and Hull, and the Provost of Greenock, by offering a silver cup for competition by the London clubs. ‘The adoption of tonnage measurement receives favorable notice, and a table of dimensions for 3, 5, 7, and ro tonners is given, which will, no doubt, prove useful in saving calculation, and as a basis for operation on the part of the amateur.

Let us all start the New Year with the new rule, that in all races the yachts shall sail fairly away, and pushing shall disqualify any boat; and I venture to say many of the heart-burnings attendant at model yacht races will ‘‘ cease with its cause.” MopEL SAILOR, WE cordially agree with the the suggestion made by Afedel Satlor, that all the clubs should be unanimous in having a rule prohibiting pushing, either at the start, or at any time during a race. The majority of the clubs already have a stringent rule to that effect, but we observe the London allow members to push their models at the start only, but XIV. not afterwards, viz: Sailing Rule No. The Serpentine have no mention of pushing in their rules, but we hear it is not allowed. Dundee has, also, overlooked this point. The Several clubs such as the Liverpool, Kingston, Albert, and PUSHING IN MODEL YACHTING.

Two boats were running down, a boat with a dirty top-sail leading, when, the wind coming more off the south shore, they fell off to the north shore, the sternmost beat touching first, and then her owner deliberately pushed her along, so that she got within bounds ahead of the other.

All communications to be addressed to THE EpDiror, THE Epitor, 7he Model-Yachtsman. Sir,— I have been very much interested in your articles on rigging model yachts. Model Yachting has long been my favourite pastime, and I have spent a good deal of time in trying different plans of rigging for speed, in setting up and trimming sails when racing. In our races, the boats are all arranged in a row on the shore with all gear stowed, and lying along the deck. as quickly as possible. Ata the head of the lowermast and the topmiast is securely fitted. See Fig. 4. By fitting a small tackle on the topmast as as shewn in Fig. 4, signal they are fitted and started Rigged thus, I find I can work my boats, which of course are self steering, (a rudder being only used when they are running,) in considerably less time and with less top weight to carry, than by any other plan I have ever tried. Faithfully yours, C. W. W. BERRIDGE, Feb, ist, 1856. mission, describe my plan for rapidity of fitting, combined My favourite beat, of which I forward a dia- gram, is 2ft. 6in, over all. She is rather beamy, has 3gin. sheer, and Yin. curve in the deck athwart ship. It will be seen by reference to Fig. I on my plan that there are no bulwarks or unnecessary fittings. There are 2 horses, marked B, 9 small brass eyes marked A, a metal tube let into the deck at E to step the mast in, and last, but not least, the fittings for the bowsprit which I show more fully in Fig. 2. At G, Figs. 1 and 2 is a small fitting like a hook with the point turned aft, whilst the gammon iron is a strong brass eye but with the greater part of one side cut away. At the inboard end, or heel, of the bowsprit is a small brass eye which is slipped on to the hook, G, and the spar is then placed, through the opening referred to, into the gammon iron.

It was plucky ; but will any equal length ten-ton model sail an overall model to windward as the ‘Genesta’ did, and failed?

Our statement is clear: “We have never pleaded the cause of the ‘1730’ rule for adoption by the clubs for their own purposes; far rather would we see them sail those classes and those styles out of which they can get the most sport,” &c. This is not advocating a change of rule of measurement: we only asked that the length class clubs should adopt an additional class, to Y.R.A. rule of 1o0-tons, for inter-club competition, and we hope as our efforts have been without prejudice directed to improving the condition of the sport for all, that every club will accede to our wish.
