A Simplified Basic Rules for Beginners document has been added under the “Links” tab. This is a good refresher and a must read for any member not familiar with the rules.

Model Sailboat Racing

by

Model sailboat racing uses the same rules as full-size boats, with a few changes that are required for RC sailing:

  1. We use verbal starting countdown which is a 1 or 2 minute recording.
  2. We typically have 5 to 15 heats per evening, with each evening scored as a separate race, and each race is then used for season scoring.
