Ship modelers come from all over New England to exhibit at several sites within a stroll of Eel Pond where the AMYA conducts radio controlled model races and novices can try a hand at RC sailing. Special exhibits feature America's Cup boats and tugboats. Kids can make a model and sail it in the pool. A Beetle Cat boat model will be raffled off.<div>The Patriot's Day Weekend event includes presentations on Saturday, April 16, by professional ship modeler and author, Rob Napier, on his restoration of the HMS Princess Royal, a British model built in 1773; and by Richard Baldwin, who builds 4.5 foot sailboats equipped with GPS and launched in the Atlantic to capture the interests of students and involve them in ocean environments. On Sunday, April 17, Hanu Singh, Associate Scientist at WHOI, talks on the scientific uses of small robotic boats, and Bill Huizing demonstrates techniques involved in building his 7 foot, 1:20 scale, model of the Puritan, the 1885 America's Cup defender. Tickets are $12 for adults, $5 for children over 6, $25 for families and cover both days.
