BEST WATERS FOR SAILING MODEL YACHTS.

The best ponds for sailing model yachts in London are: (1) Victoria Park Pond, but only when the wind is E. or W. (2) Round Pond, Kensington, in any winds, all sides of this pond being clear of trees. (3) Serpentine, in any wind.

Hampstead and Highgate ponds are also available, but have muddy edges, and seldom a true wind on account of the high banks.

There are also good ponds on Clapham Common and Peckham Rye.
