  • US Vintage Model Yacht Group Vintage Marblehead (VM) RC Sailing Rule
    JH/JYS August 2019 US Vintage Model Yacht Group Vintage Marblehead (VM) RC Sailing Rule These revised Vintage Marblehead Rating Rules of 2019 shall govern Vintage Marblehead activities from date of publication until revised by consensus or recommendation by Vintage Marblehead class owners. It is reasonable to expect that the class rules or plans may evolve with time to improve clarity, correct unforeseen problems, or embrace advancing R/C technology. It is the intent of the class that any potential changes not disqualify existing boats. All Vintage Marblehead model yachts participating in racing competition sponsored by US VMYG must comply with these class-rating rules. It is the responsibility of each skipper to prepare his boat in accordance with the Rules and Specifications referenced or included in this document. The intent of the US VMYG is to encourage participation and to simplify any certification or measurement processes as much as is consistent with fair racing. The rating rules for the Vintage M divisions are based on the Marblehead 50-800 Class rule adopted by the Model Yacht Racing Association of America (predecessor of the American Model Yachting Association) April 14, 1932 and corrected June 1, 1939. Subsequent editions were “corrected” to accommodate the evolving Marblehead 50-800 development class. For racing purposes, Vintage Marblehead fleets may be separated into “Traditional”, “High Flyer”, and “Classic M” divisions. The separation is based on design characteristics. In general: Early vintage design types (”Traditional”) are identified by practices such as skeg or keel-mounted rudders and relatively shallow draft; this is typical of design practices in the period roughly from 1930- 1945.

  • Convergent Evolution of Boats with Sails A
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Convergent Evolution of Boats with Sails A. Bejan1*, L. Ferber2 & S. Lorente3 This article unveils the geometric characteristics of boats with sails of many sizes, covering the range 102–105 kg. Data from one hundred boat models are collected and tabulated. The data show distinct trends of convergent evolution across the entire range of sizes, namely: (i) the proportionality between beam and draft, (ii) the proportionality between overall boat length and beam, and (iii) the proportionality between mast height and overall boat length. The review shows that the geometric aspect ratios (i)–(iii) are predictable from the physics of evolution toward architectures that ofer greater fow access through the medium. Nature impresses us with images, changes and tendencies that repeat themselves innumerable times even though “similar observations” are not identical to each other. In science, we recognize each ubiquitous tendency as a distinct phenomenon. Over the centuries, our predecessors have summarized each distinct phenomenon with its own law of physics, which then serves as a ‘frst principle’ in the edifce of science. A principle is a ‘frst principle’ when it cannot be deduced from other frst principles. Tis aspect of organization in science is illustrated by the evolution of thermodynamics to its current state1,2. For example, 150 years ago the transformation of potential energy into kinetic energy and the conservation of “caloric” were fused into one statement—the frst law of thermodynamics—which now serves as a frst-principle in physics. It was the same with another distinct tendency in nature: everything fows (by itself) from high to low.

My “vote” is to ban all boat traffic, commercial or otherwise, from the river. From my standpoint, it is disgusting to see a plastic object like a kayak violating the natural beauty of this rare stream. So, I am against any further degradation of this wild area from an expansion of the stretches where paddling is permitted. Thanks for the opportunity to have my say.
