Welcome to the Sailing Section
Some members enjoy sailing without the need to compete. For the many who are interested in radio controlled racing, there are several classes sailed at the Club including:
1 Metre (IOM); 6 Metre (R6M); "A" Class (RA); 36" (R36); Soling 1 Meter; Footy Class
and the 1.5 Metre-
In Vane sailing the club concentrates on 2 Classes of yachts for competition use : The A Boats and The 36”
The club, as well as hosting both national and district championships, promotes a series of club championship races throughout the year for many of the above classes, especially radio controlled versions.
At Bournville members have the additional benefit of being able to sail on a stretch of water with 100 per cent safe access around the whole lake edge.
Membership includes Public Liability Insurance cover which is required to cover accidents to any third parties.
Members may apply to join the national Model Yachting Association.
The Model Yachting Section meets weekly throughout the year. On Wednesday mornings from 0930 to 1230 hrs for practice sessions, and at the same time on Sundays for racing.
Club members are friendly, helpful and dedicated to encouraging and promoting the sailing and racing of model yachts. We believe that once you have tried it you will be hooked!
