We recently paid a very pleasant visit to the Staten Island Model Yacht Club. The Club uses a lake called ““Wolf’s Pond” which is fed by springs at one end and discharges into the sea at the other. The remarkable feature of this lake is that it is not more than 300 feet from the sea, being only separated from the salt water by a low ridge, over which the waves of Princess
Bay are plainly visible.

Model yachting has been growing in this country slowly but surely for a good many years, but since the introduction of the Marblehead 50-800 Class it has gone ahead by leaps and bounds. Never since model yachts have been sailed has a class met with such instant favor and popularity as this class.

We have been fortunate in acquiring this “A” Class design from a member of the Inland Lakes Model Yacht Racing Association. It is a development of the Great Lakes Scow, which has a reputation second to none as a fast, all weather racing craft.

The original of this article was a commercial model, but it was such a successful racing job that permission was obtained from the makers to reproduce the lines and sail plan in the Model Craftsman. While the prototype had a hull moulded from thin sheet material, the model we shall construct will necessarily be built of wood.
