The club provided Victorian men with the skills necessary for manning their vessels and encouraged the practice of good seamanship. This was completely against the norm as, prior to this, yacht clubs had essentially taken the form of social clubs in which very few sailing events were actually held. Furthermore, when races did take place, the boats were manned by professional seamen, not the owners. In rebelling against this tradition, the club became the first specifically amateur yacht club in the world.For the first time, yacht owners could proudly call themselves sailors, with the Model Yacht Club being so named in order to encourage others to follow in their stead. As active organisers and partakers in amateur races, the club called for a regulated set of rules to be enforced. This led to the current Yacht Racing Association’s Racing Rules, for which the principal authorship can be accredited to Henry Crawford and George Thomson, two flag officers of the Royal Alfred.Whilst the Royal Alfred’s members were gentleman and would not entertain the idea of being paid to sail, it is recorded that they were more than happy to accept prizes in the form of money or beautiful silverware, with the current lot being an excellent example.

Following this he worked with his father at a time when most clock parts were still made individually by hand. Japy brought in machines to standardise the production and when he was unable to obtain tooling that would do the job he required, he would design and make the relevant machinery. * Notes In 1806, he handed the running of the business to his three sons - becoming Japy Frères (Japy Brothers). In the earlier years production continued to the high standards set down by their father, as evidenced by this example, with the carriage clocks being the equal of most others. In the later years the mass production techniques they employed meant a standardisation of the movements, mainly the round-plated examples seen in many mantel clocks, and although the standard was high, never again reached the quality of the clocks produced in the early-to-mid part of the 19th century.
