Hi All, As your Fleet Captain it is my job to encourage and organize all things sailboat.

I was an IOM (International One Meter) & Victoria racer before I joined BAMM and started building scale tugs. I don’t often sail these Models at Central Park because the wind conditions are not conducive. Surrounded by high trees as it is the pond is best suited to running scale boats. So my first order of business will be to secure the use of a good venue.

I foresee a second time slot for sailing as the best winds are normally in the afternoon and this would avoid a conflict with the existing times at Central Park.

For those of you who wish to register your boats to obtain sail numbers and may be keen to take part in National or International racing events, membership of the CRYA (Canadian Radio Yachting Association) is required. They are the National governing body for model sailboat racing and have a good website with lots of useful information.www.crya.ca.

I will keep you informed of progress on these pages so check back regularly.

Saturday 9th May.

We have found our sailing location.

We have been sailing at the Londons Landing dock in Steveston.

It has good steady winds as it is open to the Georgia Strait to the West. Access is good with parking close by. Washrooms are available at the foot of the dock and our local contact has a small row boat for a rescue boat if needed. We meet at the dock on the first and third Sunday of each month between1300 and 1500. There will be 5 races for the One Design Dragon Force 65 fleet for those who wish to take part and free sailing for those that don't.

The club members race results will be recorded and go towards a seasonal result.
