Radio control sailboats and scale models in Phoenix, Arizona

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 Jr Wins Spring Breeze DF95 Regatta at Tempe Town Lake

New venue, same result: Al Lehman Jr. took the top prize at the Spring Breeze Regatta March 10 at Tempe Town Lake. 

Thirteen sailors turned out for the regatta, testing the sometimes puffy, twisty wind at the lake. Paul Nowak finished second, Rod Sturgess third, and Bruce Rasch fourth. Here are the results.


March meeting

We had about a dozen members for our March meeting, held Sunday, March 1, at Sun City's Viewpoint Lake. 

Commodore Rod Sturgess reported on the DF95 Region 8 regatta, Purser Mike Ferring reported we have $3700 in the bank and that we're converting to a 501(c)(7) social organization, awaiting Arizona Corporation Commission approval.
