" Anything that works has more than ordinary appeal to the general public, as witness the crowds at any of the important model power boat contests and regattas, or even the vast number of people (both young and old) who gather so rapidly around a model when it appears at the water's edge! A model powerboat combines the fascination of the miniature, with the allure of the thing that goes-it has life and motion and makes a decided appeal to the eye and ear, especially when it is a scale model."
