The preparation for the 2018 RC Laser National Championships proceeds apace with a number of new developments in recent weeks. The most important of these for the Mawson Lakes Model Yacht Club has been our success in applying for a Council Grant which will enable us to upgrade our marquee, to improve the operating time of our electrically-powered recovery boat and to build new specially-designed racing buoys.
All these changes will significantly improve the model yachting experience for all our competitors in late September. Scroll down the page to the Notice of Race and Entry Form.
The club raffle to help finance the RC Laser National Championships commenced in early March and has already helped finance a number of initiatives including the first prize for the Championships of a new RC Laser. We have been very pleased with the support of MLMYC members for the raffle and the event generally. Also interstate RC Laser clubs have been terrific in their support of this raffle, and we expect tickets to continue to sell well.
The 2018 RC Laser National Championships organising committee of John Berry, Chris Levi, Mark Easton, Reg Cunningham, Bob Whitehead and Adrian Heard have all been busy arranging various aspects of the event.
The registration form for the 2018 RC Laser National Championships is available here and we encourage all who are interested in the event to register sooner rather than later. Click here to access the Notice of Race for the National Championships.
The South Australian RC Laser State Titles take place on Sunday 10th June, and this event will give our club a great opportunity to have a test run for the National Championships. Our race crew are looking forward to setting courses and practising boat recoveries. All skippers are invited to compete in the State Titles. Click here to access the Notice of Race for the State Titles. The entry form can be accessed here.
We will also have an open afternoon at the club on Saturday 9th June where interstate visitors will be welcome to attend a club barbeque and participate in some practice racing. We already have eight entrants, and we expect this number to swell as the event nears.
