SOUTHPORT M.Y.C. OPEN MATCH, Sainep JuLy 25th, 1888. The match had unfortunately to be postponed from the 18th July to the above date. The morning was wet, heavy showers falling; but shortly before 2 p.m., the starting time, the showers ceased. There was a fine breeze nearly up and down the Lake: the latter is 450 x 200 yards, on the open shore, giving a fine course in almost any wind. The course was pre-determined to be as close to the wind as possible, so we were favored with a beat. Early on, however, a head reach would fetch the winning line; but the line was “skewed” across the Lake to give the more weatherly boat the shorter course. This arrangement unfortunately allowed one or two boats that were pinched in, and often in irons and shaking, to win their heats in the earlier part of the 20-ton match. ‘St. Catharine’ lost her heat partly from this cause, and partly THE MODEL-YACHTSMAN AND CANOKIST. because she was sailed for lee-end of winning line. The strength of the wind, as is generally the case on our water, appeared to most of the competitors less than it was; the result being that most of the boats were over-canvassed, and some made a very inelegant display by running off. The heats were of two boats each, excepting prize heats, the places of absentees being taken by next on programme; the bye, if one occurred, was to sail a loser of some previous heat that had drawn highest number in a second draw made at same time as draw for stations. One competitor actually forgot his bye-number, and the next but one was the only beaten boat to be found in time to sail. The new rule was printed on the fly-leaf of the programmes, as follows :— “No boat to sail course alone, and then enter prize heat. Heats to be sailed by boats in numeral sequence ; so that, ifany boat is absent, the next on Programme takes its place. Boats drawing a bye, or failing of a competitor, to have option of sailing course, or part of course, alone . first, and to then sail a loser of some previous heat: said loser to be highest number desiring to sail, of a special drawmade at same time as draw for places on Programme. No loser to sail with bye more than once: the highest “Bye” number in each round, subject to foregoing clauses, takes precedence.” It saves time and gives all an equal chance. The clubs represented were London, Liverpool, Manchester, and the local one. Of 17 twenties, -18 tens, and 7 steamers, 15, 12 and 5 boats respectively, put in an appearance at the starting point. The two 20’s absent were both local boats, and disabled in preliminary practice. The first round of the twenties resulted as follows :—‘Guinevere,’ T. B. Sill, Liverpool, leestart, beat ‘She,’ J. Holford, S’port. ‘Florence,’ T. Edmondsen, 8’port, lee, beat ‘Blue Bell,’ J.C. Smith, S’port. ‘Nyleptha,’ IE. R. Tatchell, London, lee, beat ‘Rosebud,’ T. Smith, S’port. ‘Egerton,’ R. W.

Kiddie, S’port. ‘Viola,’ T. C, Morris, Liverpool, weather, beat ‘St. Catharine,’ Capt. Methven, London. ‘Allie,’ R. Richmond, Liverpool, weather, beat ‘She,’ the bye boat. Second round : ‘Guinevere’ beat ‘Florence’ ; ‘Nyleptha’ beat ‘Egerton’ ; ‘Aziola’ bt. ‘Dream’; Third round: ‘Guinevere’ ‘Allie’ beat ‘Viola.’ beat ‘Nyleptha’; ‘Allie’ beat ‘Aziola.’ Fourth round: ‘Allie’ beat ‘Guinevere’; ‘Aziola’ beat ‘Nyleptha,’ putting ‘Nyleptha’ out of prize list. Result: ‘Allie’ 1; ‘Guinevere’ 2; ‘Aziola’ 38. First round: The 10-tonners then sailed. ‘Valerie,’ T. C. Morris, weather, beat ‘Titania,’ E. R. Tatchell. ‘Iris,’ EH. K. Chamberlin, Man- chester, lee, beat ‘Sunflower,’ J. D. Dempsey, Manchester. ‘Anne,’ G. H. Garraway, S’port, weather, beat ‘Réve d’Or,’ C. Toulmin, London. 163 ‘Lizzie,’ R. Richmond, lee, beat ‘Rose’ S. Bishop, Manchester. ‘Cygnet,’ J. Saunders, Manchester, lee, beat *Bathurst,’ T. Smith. ‘Petrel,’ H. Robshaw, Manchester, lee, beat ‘Star-of-the-Sea’, Mr. Tomkins, Manehester. Second round: ‘Valerie,’ ‘Iris,’ and ‘Anne’ were the winners, and sailing together, came in in the Final round, ‘Anne’ 1; ‘Iris’ 2; ‘Valerie’ 8. By mistake, ‘Réve d’Or’ sailed in the final heat, and came in first. At the start ‘Valerie’ and ‘Iris’ fouled, blanketing ‘Anne,’ but they cleared and got away pretty fairly again. ‘Nyleptha,’ which sailed into the final round of the 20’s, is a “LL. and 8. A.” 15-tonner; 424in, lw.l. x 11-Qin. beam; 25 lbs. displacement; Mudian yawl = 18°66 tons by ‘1780’ rule, but of light draft and displacement. ‘St. Catharine’ is of same dimensions, but cutter rigged. The former got away well at the start, and appeared to be well ahead till nearing the winning line, when she did some very bad sailing under the influence of a lazy guy, getting in irons and pitching, losing allway. In the last round, she made a board too many, sailing into the worst chap on the Lake, instead of crossing the winning line: by going about, she could easily have done it; but a puff held her off till too late. The handsome appearance, finish, and handiness of the London boats were greatly admired. A similar type of boat won the 10-ton match, the ‘Anne’ being a 41 beam schooner, 8in. deep, and 13lbs, weight, abt. 74 tons ‘1730’ rule. Her victory was in part due to the reasonable sail she carried ; but the way she drove her fine hollow bow through the chop, and stuck to the wind, was greatly admired, and rather a surprise. ‘Allie’ also owned her victory in part to her smaller and more suitable sail-spread. The steamers were put on short commons as to time, and so sailed in one heat. Four started, one being disabled just before start from an accident to her boiler. Result :— ‘Greyhound’ A. Crawford, L’pool, Sift. 1lin.-1. ‘‘Hilectra’ W. Goldthorpe, M’chester, 6ft. Qin.-2. ‘Rob Roy’ A. W. Kiddie, S’port, 6ft. 10in.-3. ‘Greyhound’ is no less than 14 years old, but has held her own in great style this season, mainly owing to her readiness and steadiness. On the return journey she got into smooth water, and steadily kept there; while ‘Electra,’ fast closing on her heels, got out into the head sea, and shipped water too freely. The ‘Ocean Wave’ seemed also to make the others pretty lively. The starters for sailing classes were the S’port Commodore, (John Ellis, Esq.,) and Capt. Hicks, Steward; the judges being Thos. Smith, Esq., Capt. 8.M.Y.C., and the Hon. Sec. Mr. Thos. Hodd, officiated generally for the steamer race. A first class band played during the progress of 164 THE MODEL-YACHTSMAN the match, and the proceedings were witness ed the proceedings ended, a suggestion by Mr. Thos. Hodd, who occupied the vice-chair, that a district or general we all thought we were in for a drenching; Prize-giving, votes of thanks speeches, and great cheers, and good humour closed the “event”; and then everybody “trained” or otherwise got home to dream, no doubt, of phenomenally fast and elegant boats, and future “eventiul Wednesdays.” INTER-CLUB PORT MATCH AT GLASGOW. The model yacht race open to all recognised model yacht clubs, came off on Saturday, 28th July, at Port Glasgow, when the following putting out the fires, but of course there is always some reason in model sailing why every boat does not win. As our Vice-commodore said, ‘‘7f the jib sheet had not been a little too tight,” he would have won easily with the ‘Iris.’ clubs were represented :—Dumbarton, 8 yachts; Clydebank, 7 yachts; Glasgow, 1 yacht ; besides the Port Glasgow club yachts.. The Dumbarton and the Clydebank yachts arrived early in the forenoon, the former in a steam launch kindly lent by Messrs. Denny, and the latter in a large pinnace lent by the manager of Messrs. Thompson, shipbuilders. Taking it altogether we were very satisfied with our performances. And now a few words about the way they do things in the Southport club ; this I believe was the first time they had had the lake free from rowing boats this season, and instead of keeping it to themselves and win- Notwithstanding the inclement weather the proceedings passed off to the entire satisfaction of all concerned, and the acting officers, Messrs.

Ronkin’s ‘Southern Cross,’ 20 tons. All the prize takers were Port Glasgow yachts. At the conclusion of the races the members, visitors and friends adjourned to the Oddfellows’ Hall, the prize fund. This in itself was quite sufficient, but when we add to it the courtesy and kindness with which we were received, and the very excellent tea which they invited us to (which must have been a costly affair to them, as all of us were everyone present that day.

We had boats entered in every class, all excepting two won their heats in the first. round. When it came to the finals we found that in the 20-ton class the ‘Aziola’ had gained third prize; in the 10-ton class ‘Iris’ was second ; and in the steamer race the ‘Electra’ was second to the redoubtable ‘Greyhound,’ of Liverpool.

(London )—This club sailed a 15-ton match for 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes, on August 11th. The race was begun with a fresh breeze from the South West, which died away before the race was completed, ‘The entries were :—‘Phantom’ Mr. Watts; ‘Neva’ Mr. Saunders; ‘Neptune’ Mr. Hale; ‘Nellie’ Mr. Reynolds; ‘Piggy Ogg’ Mr, Pritchard; ‘Wild Rose’ Mr. Chapman; ‘Oll’ Mr. Holmes; ‘Irex’ Mr. Burgess.

This club and the Corinthian club, Clapham, are:about to arrange a match on the Round Pond, Kensington. Dundee M.Y.C.—This club had its fourth cup race for 20-ton yachts on Saturday, August 4th. The weather was not very favourable, the wind being out of a bad quarter, and being very unsteady. A start was made about 3-15, and in all twelve boats appeared on the water in the contest for the cup, a silver-mounted horn, presented by Mr. John Fleming. First heat (four boats)—1, R. Dargie’s ‘Dolphin’ 13 mins. 16 sees. 2, A. Lomeair’s ‘Rhoda’ 15 mins. 42 secs. Second heat—1, D, Hynd’s ‘Wylo’ 13 mins. 32 sees. : 2, A. Smith’s ‘Creole’ 13 mins. 40 secs. Third heat—1, J. patrick’s ‘Golden Horn’ 14 mins. 40 secs.: 2, C. Hill’s ‘Betsy’ 17 mins. 31 secs. Fourth heat—1, J. Patrick’s ‘Golden Horn’ 11 mins. 48 secs.; 2, A. Lumgair’s ‘Rhoda’ 12 mins, 15 sees. Fifth heat—-1, C. Hill’s ‘Betsy’; 2, D. Hynd’s‘Wylo.’ The final heat thus lay between the ‘Golden Horn’ the ‘Rhoda,’ the ‘Betsy,’ and D. Hynd’s ‘Wylo.’ This heat was rather protracted, owing to bad and light winds, the boats fouling each other, and causing the race, to be run three times before it was finished. At last the four opponents agreed to finish the race foul or not foul, but happily this heat was started and finished without a hitch ; the cup was carried off by D. Hynd’s ‘Wyio,’ in 10 mins. 40 secs ; and the medalby C. Hill’s ‘Betsy’ in 16 mins. 45 secs, There are still two handsome cups to be competed for, between the 25 and 30-ton yachts, the race days being the 1st and 15th September. There was a large turnout of spectators, but owing to the races lasting so long a great many left before the final was finished. Mr, W. Anderson, commodore, was umpire. 166 THE Kingston (full) M. MODEL-YACHTSMAN Y. C.—The unkindly and dirty season that we have been experiencing, has done much to spoil the affection of the model-yachtsman for his favourite sport. No summer weather to tempt model sailers eut from the town into the bright green fields, and to the side of the sparkling water. ‘This year has given us the poorest musters and the least enthusiasm of any since the formation of the club, and so far as the matches are concerned the competition has been left to the ardent few who will race, no matter what the conditions, The Saturday matches have been poor indeed, as compared with former years. The only class having a respectable show in numbers being the 10-tonners. The results are as follows: Saturday afternoons. April 14, 10-ton, J. G.

There has been some life shown during the last few weeks of fine weather, in the private sailing during the week-day evenings, a good muster assembling on many occasions, and much enjoyment resulting.

Bruce taking second prize, and being beaten along way in the final heat, part of the beating being due to being snugged down to the strong breeze blowing previous to the matches, but which gradually got fainter and fainter until it died away altogether a while after the matches ended. Corinthian M. Y. C. (London. )—A ten-ton match was sailed at Clapham, on June 30th, which was won by ‘Sirenia’, Mr. G. Ramplen, AND CANOEIST. with 21 points, ‘Dahlia’ Mr. Church, 13 points, ‘Lively’ Mr. Jordan, 5 points, ‘Merlin’ Mr. T. Ramplen, 5 points. A ten-ton mateh, in two divisions, was sailed at Clapham, on July 21st, first division :—‘Ready,’ Mr. Hugo, 13 points, ‘Dahlia,’ Mr. G. Ramplen, 9, ‘Dolphin,’ Mr. Layton, 3.

On August 4th, a 7-ton match was sailed; there were three 7-tonners, ‘Condor,’ Mr. Jordan, ‘Pansey, Mr. Church, ‘Waterwitch,’ Mr, Hdwards, and the 5-ton ‘Phyllis,’ Mr. G. Ramplen, ‘Phyllis’ won with 16 points, ‘Condor’ 13, ‘Pansey’ 11, ‘Waterwitch, 6. On August 6th, at 6a.m., a 10-ton match was sailed at Clapham. The entries were :—‘Maud,’ ‘Princess,’ ‘Petrel,’ ‘Sivenia,’ ‘Lively,’ and ‘Ready.’ ‘Sirenia’ won with 16 points, ‘Ready’ 12, ‘Petrel’ 7, ‘Primrose’ 4, ‘Maud’ 2, and ‘Lively’ 1. On August 11th, a 10-ton match, for club prize, was sailed. In the first division, ‘Petrel,’ ‘Dahlia,’ ‘Sirenia,’ (the last named sprung a leak and had to retire leaving the two first named for the final). In the second division, ‘Lively’ got 12 points, ‘Ready,’ 12, and ‘Quickstep,’ 6. In the final, ‘Petrel and ‘Ready,’ 8 points :—the tie was won by ‘Ready’ by about a length, ‘Lively’ 5, ‘Dahlia’ 4. On August 18th, a 10-ton match was sailed, first and second prizes were presented by an en- thusiastic yachtsman, Mr. Minns. The entries were :—‘Dahlia,’ ‘Lively,’ ‘Ready,’ and ‘Sirenia.’ The wind was light, in fact it was little better than a drifting match. ‘Dahlia’ made the most of what wind there was, and won with 16 points, ‘Lively’ 9, ‘ Ready’ 5. ‘Sirenia’ was again put out owing to a leakage. Guernsey M.Y.C.—The following is a list of winners of the matches sailed August 8th, in connection with the above club :—6-tons, 1 ‘Jilt’ C. A. Renouf; 2 ‘Trick’ Ira Ozanne. ‘Butterfly’ R. Gaved.

Kingstown (Ireland) M.Y.C.—This club has been regularly racing every Saturday since last report. On June 23rd, the match was for the 8-ton class for which ‘Genesta,’ ‘Shamrock,’ ‘Dove,’ ‘Jolly Roger,’ and ‘Mirage’ entered, ‘Jolly Roger’ being a skiff-shaped sloop very beamy and a good goer. ‘Mirage’ is a 4-tonner, but sails with the eights and gives them enough to do to beat her. The wind was very light and from the North, the first stretch being a reach, ‘Mirage’ rushed away first and was only collared THE MODEL-YACHTSMAN by ‘Shamrock’ and ‘Dove’ at the very finish. ‘Shamrock’ getting 8 marks, ‘Dove’ 2, ‘Mirage’ 1. The next bit was a run, and ‘Shamrock’ got 3, ‘Genesta’ and ‘Mirage’ dead-heating and getting 2 each, ‘Dove’ getting 1. The last bit, which was a beat, resulted in ‘Shamrock’ 3, ‘Mirage’ 2, ‘Genesta’ 1. ‘Mirage’ again ouly being just beaten by about 5 seconds. Total: ‘Shamrock’ 9, ‘Mirage’ 5, ‘Genesta’ and ‘Dove’ 8 each, ‘Jolly Roger’ not in trim getting 0. The 4-tonners had their race the next Saturday, in another light day, ‘Mirage’ winning the first two bits with ‘Luath’ second, and in the last ‘hatona’ won, ‘Luath’ being second, ‘Mirage’ giving up through a mishap. Total: ‘Mirage’ 6, ‘Luath’ 6, ‘Latona’ 5. Saturday, July 7th, saw the 16-tonners in the field, when, ‘Jenny,’ ‘Ulidia’ ‘Ulerin,’ ‘Lorna Doone’ and ‘Oweenee,’ came to the post. The former getting the first thrashing in any of the club races. The first was a run with a light $8.1. breeze, ‘Ulerin’ arriving first, ‘Oweenee’ 2nd, ‘Jenny’ 3rd. ‘Ulidia’ 4th. The wind having shifted to the E. the next piece was a dead beat, ‘Oweenee’ working out a fine lead, but getting fluked out of it. Result: ‘Jenny’ Ist, ‘Ulidia’ 2nd, ‘Ulerin’ 3rd, ‘Oweenee’ 4th. The last reach was a fine race, it being very uncertain who would win, ‘Ulerin’ eventually succeeding in doing so, ‘Ulidia’ getting 2nd, ‘Jenny’ 3rd. Total: ‘Ulerin’ 7 marks, ‘Jenny’ 5, ‘Ulidia’ 4, ‘Oweenee’ 2, ‘Lorna Doone’ 0.
