Pond models were used for real races, such as those that are organized today mainly in small ponds, lakes such as public parks or intended, for example, to sport fishing. Only requirement is that the place chosen for the competition is to take large banks to allow participants to find the place easily. Today's models are remote controlled, but once we relied on the strength of the wind to win the right model.
Sloop is a sailing boat with a single mast with one forestay with jib, which together with the mainsail is the sail. This type of rig was born in Bermuda from the evolution of the lateen sail, and this is also called a Bermudan rig, very useful in windy waters of those areas. In Italy it was also called Marconi rig, because the system of the tree reminded of Guglielmo Marconi's radio equipment. If there is a second stay with a second jib called staysail, the sloop is called a cutter or sloop with cutter rig.
