Getting Started in Model Yachting

You have found one of the best sources of model yachting information today. By reading the many AMYA website pages, you can quickly obtain information of particular interest to you. Since this section is on the American Model Yachting Association website it is written more to those beginners in the United States and surrounding countries. Many other countries have their own Model yachting websites and links to them can be found on the AMYA Links page, though the information and guidance still apply in any country.

Hosted by Mackay Model Mariners

Well, The Nth Qld RM championships have been run and won, without incident apart from a couple of broken masts, leaky boats and radio problems.

Saturday saw 15 Skippers line up at the Gooseponds lagoon, facing a chilly SSW wind blowing up to 15 to 20 knots, however by the time racing got underway, it had settled somewhat into a fine B rig regatta, hampered by occasional swirling bullets that had holes behind them, so it was a challenging upwind leg, you could go from hero to zero in the blink of an eye. Racing was competitive but it did not take long before the two Tasmanian visitors showed there skills and started to take a strangle hold on the event. However the locals were determined to have their say as well and the first day had a mixed bag of winners, though after 14 races Cass, Den & Col were clear runners for the trophies.

Mirage Radio Yachts announces the planned production of it’s new IOM design, Mad Max.

After some testing by the designer, the new boat was sailed for the first time by Paul Jones in a ranking event regatta.

At the NSW Grand Prix event held at Lake Macquarie on the 31st May-1st of June, Paul held off a field which included the current World Champion Brad Gibson, and past dual World Champion Craig Smith, to win the event.

The new hull which features a moderate beam at deck level, and what would be considered a narrow waterline beam, also has a squared off narrow type stern section. The photos show the hull form.

Designed to perform in all conditions, the new boat is showing its capabilities.

Bournville Model Yacht Club

11 skippers attended round 7 of the PRACC event for Radio A class Yachts at Bournville near Birmingham. The winds where calm early in the day but increasing late morning and into the afternoon. This made for some competitive racing. The Local skipper Chris Harris recently back from the International One Meter world Championships in Barbados, led the fleet around the course coming in first. This was to be one of the 9 firsts he gained during the day.
