A Manual on the Construction and Designing of Several Typs of Model Sail and Electrically Propelled Crafts
by Joh W. Cavileer
Hillside Junior High School, Montclair, N.J.
From the Introduction--There are wonderful educational possibilities in a good model yacht, while as a sporting or recreational activity, boating deserves serious consideration.' A young man can get more pleasure out of an afternoon's try-out of a model boat along the banks of some cool lake or stream, than he could by spending days in some closed-in back yard or playing a vido-game. The skill or technique necessary to build a large 36-foot cruiser or sail-boat sufficiently large to carry several passengers, is possessed by only a few amateurs; yet almost any boy of the seventh or eighth grade can build the boats mentioned in this text, and make good jobs of them too. The designs progress from the ultra-simple rubber band boat up to a pretty sophisticated sailing yacht including some large motor boats.
"Starting at the bottom leads only to the top."
