The US VMYG has a project underway to digitize Model Yachting information and make it available. Content will include
- Full runs of Model Yachting magazines, journals, and newsletters
- Model Yachting articles from other magazines
- Videos
- Pictures and postcards
- Books
- Other historical records of Model Yachting
The Video Archive page is available.
We also have periodical content from:
The Model Yacht: The US VMYG Journal – All issues back to Volume 1, Number 1, Spring 1997 to the current issue. The Model Yacht is published three times a year.
The Model Yacht (1928-1929): The Magazine of Model Yachting – Some issues from Volume 1, Issue 1 – September 1928 through Volume 1 Issue 12 – December 1929. We believe that there were only 11 issues published (Issue 4-5 was a combined issue) and then it was supplanted by Model Yachting, which started in 1929. We have 8 of the 18 issues. If you have copies of issues 7-10, please contact us at usvmyg@gmail.com so that we can complete the collection.
Windling World – All issues from the premier issue in July 1995 until it stopped publishing in December 2006. This is a publication from New Zealand that focuses on “the sailing of model yachts for sheer recreational values, rather than dictated by the desire to compete”.
The full text of all of these issues has been indexed, so you should be able to find issues you want to read with the Site Search. Click the magnifying glass image in the upper-right corner of each page to search the site.
