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.
WVRCM Sailing pauses for summer. Scale continues.WVRCM sailors will take the summer off, resuming in either September or October, depending on the weather. The decision was reached at the club meeting Sunday, May 17, at Viewpoint Lake in Sun City. If we get a temporary break in the heat, we may pop in a couple race days. Members will receive emails with race information. Scale sailors are planning to continue with occasional gatherings during the summer. Watch the Facebook group posting by Brett Harper for notifications.
| Regular EventsWVRCM has suspended RC sailboat racing for the summer. Normally, when the temperatures aren't scorching, we have fun sailing for a couple hours each week on Tuesdays and sail mostly DF95s.
Join the club to receive updates on both sail and scale activities. Also, check our Facebook group. Micro Magic sailors are also racing at Viewpoint Lake on Thursdays starting at 11am.
