  • 36R Class Rating Rules
    36R CLASS RATING RULES The 36R (restricted) class is the oldest of the freesail classes sailed at SFMYC. An English class, originally adopted by the Model Yachting Association of Great Britain (MYA- GB) in 1929, and revised several times, it remains an active class administered by the MYA- GB. The SFMYC has not made any changes to the MYA-GB rules. The 36R class is a developmental class with a very simple basis: the boat must fit within a 37” x 11” x 9” box. If it fits in the box, it qualifies. There are no rules limiting hull shape, type or materials; no limits to displacement either minimum or maximum; no restrictions as to type of rig or sail area. Keels and rudders may be removable to facilitate easy packaging for transport, but keels may not be movable while sailing. More than one suite of sails is allowed. Spars are not included in the box measurement, and this includes bowsprits, if fitted. Removable fittings are also not included in the box measurement, and steering vanes are typically mounted on a bracket hung off the transom. It is important to note that draft is not specified: the maximum depth includes the freeboard, from the top of the deck to the bottom of the keel. The rules are for both freesail and radio controlled boats, however there is no 36R radio control fleet at the San Francisco Model Yacht Club. Model Yachting Association of Great Britain 36R CLASS RULE (36 inch, Restricted Class, adopted 1929) Effective Jan. 10, 2004 (previous rule amended 1984, 1991, 1995, 2003) RATING RULES These are open class rules in which anything not specifically restricted or prohibited is permitted.

    Journal of the Association of Yachting Historians www.yachtinghistorians.org 2019-2020 The Jeremy Lines Access to research sources At our last AGM, one of our members asked Half-Model Collection how can our Association help members find sources of yachting history publications, archives and records? Such assistance should be a key service to our members and therefore we are instigating access through a special link on the AYH website. Many of us will have started research in yacht club records and club libraries, which are often haphazard and incomplete. We have now started the process of listing significant yachting research resources with their locations, distinctive features, and comments on how accessible they are, and we invite our members to tell us about their Half-model of Peggy Bawn, G.L. Watson’s 1894 “fast cruiser”. experiences of using these resources.

  • The Left Coast Marblehead Class Update • an ERRATIC FREE DIGITAL NEWSLETTER CELEBRATING M RADIO SAILING in AMYA REGION 6 • Edition #1 - December 22, 2018 ______
    M The Left Coast Marblehead Class Update • AN ERRATIC FREE DIGITAL NEWSLETTER CELEBRATING M RADIO SAILING IN AMYA REGION 6 • Edition #1 - December 22, 2018 ______________________________________________________________________________________ This sweet yellow proto named Rocket is by designer/builder Mike Cooke of Aardvark Technologies in the UK. Better known for his fixed wing Moths, he has an interest in radio sailing and develops his own stuff. I don’t think I’ve seen an M with a wave piercing bow, and inverted V foredecks are not common in current designs either. Flat decks are the current preference as on Grunge, Noutriam, the 2013 Quark and Red Ant designs. However, the current Quark from BoatsETC now includes an inverted V foredeck, so there is an evolution of note. Rocket includes a mast hole for a swing rig on a more recent version. Check him out on the Internet. Marblehead racing in AMYA Region 6 is fledgling, but there is a pulse. Thanks to Bruce Andersen’s prodding and the efforts of San Diego Argonauts Mike Eldred and Bob Hirsch we had a friendly regatta in 2017 and an AMYA Nationals in 2018 as part of Race Week. Both were successful with lots of enthusiasm from the skippers, and you can read about them in the regatta reports later in this newsletter. To continue M racing growth in AMYA Region 6 the plan is to have one-day M racing precede IOM regattas, because the interest appears to lie with current left coast IOM skippers. Any M skipper is invited of course. Joining the 10R Nationals with our Ms in August at historic Spreckles Lake in San Francisco is an unexpected anf happy bonus.

  • Victoria #2 - a Competition Optimized Victoria One-Design Class Model
    Victoria #2 - A Competition Optimized Victoria One-Design Class Model When the Thunder Tiger VICTORIA model appeared, I was asked to provide a kit review for RADIO CONTROL BOAT MODELER magazine. The review met with much interest and a second article was produced which focused on optimizing the boat for R/C round the buoys racing. Subsequently, the boat obtained sanction from the American Model Yachting Association as a one-design class. I was asked by the provisional Class Secretary, Chris Cafiero to serve on the new Class Technical Committee and assisted with the drafting of the Class Specification. Now, the challenge was to configure a new boat, which explored the edges of the Class Rule envelope as an assistance to the Class in the finalizing of its rules. Final evaluation of the development effort was be based on boat for boat performance testing in the newly formed Seattle Model Yacht Club VICTORIA fleet. The design objectives were: 1. To outfit a competitive boat at the minimum allowable displacement (4.50 pounds). 2. Find sufficient weight savings throughout the boat and R/C installation to allow a margin for additional strengthening of keel fin/hull joint; making stronger standing rigging attachment points and sheet exit guide areas; and to allow use of a heavier Futaba S125 sail servo for sail trimming functions. 3. Substitute for kit parts whenever additional strength or adjustability could be enhanced without a weight penalty. 4. Explore all "above-the-deck" components to take the VICTORIA out of the "toy" boat category and provide it with the adjustability and control that would increase its performance while maintaining the one-design philosophy provided in the AMYA Class Rule.
