Model yachting is the pastime of building and racing model yachts. It has always been customary for ship-builders to make a miniature model of the vessel under construction, which is in every respect a copy of the original on a small scale, whether steamship or sailing ship. There are fine collections to be seen at both general interest museums such as the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and at many specialized maritime museums worldwide. Many of these models are of exquisite workmanship, every rope, pulley or portion of the engine being faithfully reproduced.

  • Model yachting is the pastime of building and racing model yachts. It has always been customary for ship-builders to make a miniature model of the vessel under construction, which is in every respect a copy of the original on a small scale, whether steamship or sailing ship. There are fine collections to be seen at both general interest museums such as the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and at many specialized maritime museums worldwide. Many of these models are of exquisite workmanship, every rope, pulley or portion of the engine being faithfully reproduced. In the case of sailing yachts, these models were often pitted against each other on small bodies of water, and hence arose the modern pastime. It was soon seen that elaborate fittings and complicated rigging were a detriment to rapid handling, and that, on account of the comparatively stronger winds in which models were sailed, they needed a greater draught. For these reasons modern model yachts, which usually have fin keels, are of about 15% or 20% deeper draught than full-sized vessels, while rigging and fittings have been reduced to absolute simplicity. This applies to models built for racing and not to elaborate copies of steamers and ships, made only for show or for " toy cruising." (en)
  • Modellsegling är ett tidsfördriv för att bygga och tävlingssegla med skalmodeller. En radiostyrd båt är en modell av en båt. Den styrs med fjärrkontroll. Det har alltid varit brukligt för fartygsbyggare att göra en miniatyrmodell av sitt fartyg under uppbyggnad, som i alla avseenden är en kopia av originalet i liten skala, om det så är en ångare eller ett segelfartyg. Det finns fina samlingar att se både på allmänna museer som Victoria and Albert Museum i London och på många specialiserade maritima museer över hela världen. Många av dessa modeller är av utsökt arbete, varje lina, eller del av motor är naturligt återgivna. I fallet segelmodeller, tävlade dessa modeller ofta mot varandra på små dammar, och därmed uppstod det moderna tidsfördrivet. Man insåg snart att en komplicerade rigg var en nackdel, och att, på grund av de jämförelsevis starkare vindarna där modeller seglade, behövde de ett mer djupgående skrov. Av dessa skäl har moderna modellsegelbåtar vanligtvis fenköl, och är 15% till 20% mer djupgående än de fullstora fartygen, medan rigg och inredning har reducerats till ett absolut minimum. Detta gäller modeller byggda för racing och inte för mer detaljerade kopior av ångfartyg och fartyg, som görs för syns skull eller för modellbåtar av typ leksak. (sv)
