Pigeon, has made it possible for all model yachtsmen to place boats on display at the Sportsman’s show, which is being held at Grand Central Palace, New York City, on February 18th and 19th.

I have discovered a novel method of carrying the thrills of model yachting right
into the clubhouse. The idea is useful, not only for teaching beginners the principles of sailing, but also for re-enacting situations that have cropped up in past
regattas, so members could study the conditions that were involved.

In the ladies’ race, sailed in “tournament” style, with 35 models in the water at one time, Mrs. T. I. Sythoff of the L. I. M. Y. C. won first place, and 2nd place went to Mrs, J. Fulton of the same club.

By 1936, the sport had reached such a high level of organization that John Black traveled to the Berlin Olympics as a "Foreign Diplomat." The Goal: To have model yacht racing officially adopted into the Olympic Games. Outcome: Germany constructed a special floating basin for the event, and the article optimistically predicts that model yachting would join the Olympics for the first time in 1940.

The most active season in the history of American Model Yachting is now in full sway.

But there are birds out... I know because a little bird whispered to me where the Marblehead Perpetual Cup came from... it was one of those “ssshh”’ mysteries for
years ... Now the little bird whispers that Roy Clough, Honorary President of the Eastern Division, leaned his head against that of Carrol W. Sweet and Freddy Woods
and after sly murmurs and secretive grins... presto... out comes that lean tall ‘““mug” from which I have enjoyed a long swallow of “suds” when Gordon Curry of the Mill Pond MYC won it 2 years ago...
