MVMYC RC Sailing Club
Never sailed before, no problem we will teach you. Looking to compete, we do that too with racing at local, regional, and national events all over the USA.
We are American Model Yacht Association (AMYA) sanctioned Club #73 of the AMYA Region 4, Midwest Located in Dayton, Ohio. We sail radio control model Sailboats that are registered classes with the American Model Yacht Association. Racing rules for model yachts are the same as the full size boats, which are administered by the US Sailing Federation. With few of the rules being modified for our small size boats.
