Ottawa Area Model Yacht Club

An unusual yacht “Naiad” was built and sailed by Earl Kelly. (Ottawa club). Again, the workmanship is pristine. This 45 inch boat was designed by Doug Munro and has a cedar strip hull with a basswood strip deck. It is epoxy coated inside and out with a coating of varnish over the epoxy. Displacement is 16.3 lbs. The boat sails extremely well. There were so many other boats sailing that we cannot include a complete description of them all. Not all boats were perfectly scale but that did not matter, and the variety makes the day very special. Those of us who do not have a scale boat might be thinking of a new project for this winter! It certainly was a very relaxing, fun day of sailing.
