The Scale Sailing Association is the national body for scale vessels
and was founded in 1987 to bridge the void between the Model Power
Boat Association and Model Yachting Association here in the United
Kingdom. It was founded to share knowledge plus research and bring sail
skippers together more closely in a pondside atmosphere, much the same
as you enioy at your local pondside.
We cater only for scale sailing vessels as our name suggests i.e.
clippers, ketches, schooners etc of all periods and nationalities.
leaving the other two associations to cover the rest of maritime
activity. Although we do not supply plans, we do know where to get
hold of many and with an SAE or International Reply Coupon, we will
help with building and any other problems a member may be faced with.
The SSA also publish three newsletter type magazines per year full
of nuts and bolts articles written by members which are not only
illustrated but also humerous and easy to read.
Membership subscriptions are rediculously low at just <pound> 5 per year
(UK inland only) and <pound> 6.50 anywhere else in the world. For overseas
(prospective) members, payment must be made by International Money
Order in sterling only from your local Post Office please, as our
theiving banks charge us <pound> 8 per item to change and the Post Office
does IMO's for free. All overseas items are sent snail-mail "surface"
and gets to you about one day later than "air mail". (It goes out on
the next 'plane basically and costs well under half the price!).
The snail-mail address is:
