Connect with Radio Control Sailors & Scalers
Radio control sailors and scalers in the Phoenix metropolitan area are only separated by geography: sailing boats in different, often distant parts of the region and coming together for regattas or scale events. This WVRCM SailRC.club site tries to keep us all connected by acting as a central bulletin board and membership meeting spot.
Al Lehman again at Estrella DF95 RegattaAl Lehman Jr. followed up his November 15 win at Gilbert with another dominating performance Tuesday, December 2, at WVRCM's DF95 regatta at Estrella North Lake. Bob Spraker finished second, Bruce Rasch third, and Mike Hester fourth in the regatta, run in light breeze. Thanks to Maryellen Ferring for keeping score.
Top finishers (l too r): Al Lehman, Bob Spraker, Bruce Rasch, and Mike Hester.
