If you are interested in radio control sailing come out to Cottell Park Saturday 19th of April. 

The uniqueness of radio control sail boats is that they depend on the wind for their propulsion and speed. The radio controller allows you to maneuver the boat’s direction by guiding the rudder, but there is no power motor on any RC sailboats.

The Cincinnati Model Yacht Club will be racing at the park through out the day.  Racing will start promptly at 11am.  The club races the CR914 Class of sailboat which is a  high-performance racing sloop that resembles the International America’s Cup Class boats of that era. CR stands for “cup racer;” the hull is 914 millimeters (36 inches) long – about 1/25th of the size of its IACC equivalent (and you can sail one for less than 1/100,000th of the cost of waging an America’s Cup campaign).

Anyone interested in sailing is welcome to join us.

When:Saturday April 19th
Time:11am-4pm
Where: Cottell Park - Deefield Township
