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.
Club Meeting Sunday, May 17We'll meet at 11am on Sunday, May 17, at the Sun City Viewpoint Lake. Here are two pictures of our last meeting at the same location in March.

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