Synopsis
Excerpt from Model Yachts and Model Yacht Sailing: How to Build, Rig, and Sail, a Self-Acting Model Yacht
There are not many open-air amusements which afford more genuine enjoyment to old and young than Model Yacht Sailing; if practised in a properly scientific manner it resembles a game of croquet, in which the water is the lawn, the wind the mallet, and the ships the balls; and the most skilful yachtsman is as certain of winning his match as is the most skilful croquet player.
