YACHTING for June Model Yachting ‘ interest to all model yachtsmen and may attract some of the devotees of the big yacht game. One thing is certain, and that is it will prove a good thing for model yachting, both here and in Canada. May the best The International Model Yacht Race with Canada EGOTIATIONS been completed have now for a series of model yacht races, in the C class, Model Yacht Racing Association classification, between the Montreal Model Yacht Club and the Central Park Model Yacht Club of New York, the challenge of the latter boat win! Cross Cut Sails for Models Mr. C. R. Daniels, sends us some very club having been noted in a recent issue of YACHTING. It has been agreed that a series of five races be sailed, the boat winning three races to be declared the winner of the handsome trophy, donated by the Canadians. The races will be sailed over a threequarter of a mile course, to windward and return, that is, threequarters of a mile out and threequarters of a mile back, and twice around, making in all, three miles. On the triangular course, each leg to be one-half mile, and _ twice around, making three miles in all. The first race will be sailed on Saturday, August 11th, the second race on Monday, August 13th, and arace every day thereafter to com- plete the series. The races will be sailed on Chambly Basin, Canada, which is situated sixteen miles from Montreal and can be reached easily by electric railway. The Americans have elected Mr. Howard Griffiths as their committee member, while the Canadians have selected Dr. E. C. Levine of Montreal. The third member of the committee has not yet been selected. Mr. Howard Griffiths is vice-presi- interesting photographs and some comment on cutting sails for models. He contends that a cross- dent of the Model Yacht Racing Association of America and secretary of the Central Park Model Yacht Club and served on the committee which so successfully handled America’s first international model yacht race last June, when Mr. William J. Daniels of England tried to lift the cup offered by YACHTING. Dr. E. C. Levine is a surgeon of Montreal and is enthusiastic over the model yacht game and sees great possibilities for its future. The Canadians are busy tuning up their fleet and are quite sure that they can pick out a boat that will make the Americans hustle to win. On the other hand the Yankees are now holding their elimination races at their Flushing Bay sailing station and are determined to bring the handsome trophy over the border line, if possible. Mr. Jos. Weaver has a new Class C boat he has built for this race, and at this writing she has done the best of those entered. This race should prove of great ~If Ohip [lodels cut sail for the Marconi rig “has it on” the sail made of one piece of cloth, as are most of the sails used on models. In the latter it is impossible to get the proper draft. He says: “I have several photographs of the model yacht Ruth, with her new Marconi rig, and while this type of rig has been generally adopted, there are only two suits of sails in service that are, to my mind, properly made, namely, the cross cut. It may be of interest to the model yachtsmen to note, as per the accompany- ing photograph, the difference in the set of this sail as compared with those made of one piece of cloth.” To Form a Model Y. C. at Johnstown Owing to the construction of several pools around the city of Johnstown, Pa., has lead to a great interest in model boat racing in that locality. There are a number of enthusiasts there who expect to form an association to conduct organized rac- (Continued on page 413) , \ Went toSea — Showing how some ship models would work out if enlarged according to scale. 385 YACHTING for June R.
