Ottawa Area Model Yacht Club

Paul Switzer (Kingston Yacht Club) also sailed a boat with lots of memories. This boat has already been featured in two CRYA newsletters. Winter 2007 and autumn 2010 as the cover photo. Both newsletters can be found on the CRYA website in the newsletter archives in the information tab. Here is a brief summary from Paul. “Begun at Christmas 2005 and finished spring 2007. Based on the 24' Viking Class designed in 1937 by C.D. Mower of New York City for racing on Long Island Sound. The original boat, "Odin", was built and launched by my father in 1950 and I believe is still sailing in Cape Breton Island. There is currently a full sized Viking called "Vega" at Britannia Yacht Club (Ottawa) and another "Valkyrie" in Newcastle. 36" long, (1.5" = 1' scale), 10.5" beam, 7" draft, weight 11.4 lbs Odin uses a simple 2 channel system with Futaba S3801 sail winch and Futaba 3003 rudder servo.
