The 2nd evening in our lecture series will be held Tuesday March 27th. We are featuring two speakers. Jim Molick, a Yacht Broker from Larsen Marine and Mark Rode from Racine Yacht Club, is going to talk about the rules of sailboat racing. Yacht Sales Jim isn’t going to attempt to sell us anything but is going tell us all there is to know about buying and selling boats, preparing your boat to sell and some of the pitfalls you can run in to when selling and buying boats. Racing Rules Mark Rode, a past commodore of the Racine Yacht Club and avid racer is going to lead a discussing on the rules of sailboat racing. Most of the time will be spent on starts and rounding of marks. This is a must for novice racers and a good review for our seasoned veterans.

KYC RC Model Sailboat Fleet

Posted on February 12, 2012 by | 3 Comments

OK, I know it’s a little bit dorky, but it’s also REALLY FUN!!!!    We are going to start an RC Model Sailboat Fleet here at the KYC.     We will sail the boats in the harbor here in front of the KYC, and the goal is to try to build up to some racing.  The boat we are going to recommend is called the VICTORIA, but any RC boat will work.  Racing works best with RC boats if you have a “One Design” boat, meaning all the boats are the same.   The VICTORIA is a very popular boat for this type of sailing and racing.   It is inexpensive, fun to sail, and easy to transport ( Not as big as Zippitydoda ).   The basic boat can be purchased as a kit for about $100 and they are easy and fun to build.   There are many alterations and “go fast” tricks you can make to individualize the boats, and even several vendors who make custom sails for the little boats.  Check out our KYC fleet page for more information about what we are doing.
