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

  • 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.
