RC Laser Fleet in South Australia
The Mawson Lakes Model Yacht Club (MLMYC) is a dedicated radio controlled yacht club with only two official classes – the ML45, a class raced only at Mawson Lakes, and the RC Laser. The RC Laser became an official class in November 2016, and this will lead to future changes in the club racing program which will be updated on this website.
The club is the largest radio controlled yacht club in South Australia with 65 members, and has a particular focus on keeping sailing fun and sociable. The clubhouse has an indoor seating area, toilets and storage areas for boat parts, the rescue boat and equipment. The lake has a floating platform for boat launching and an extensive network of permanently set buoys.
The club is 14 km north of Adelaide at First Avenue, Mawson Lakes. Take Main North Rd to Mawson Lakes Boulevard, turn left into Park Way and then right into First Ave. For more information about RC Lasers and sailing at the club please contact Adrian Heard on e-mail heard.14.au@gmail.com
RC Lasers in South Australia are sailed at clubs where new members are always welcome. If you would like to be put in contact with other RC Lasers in South Australia please contact us.

Hi,
I’m moving to West Beach, Adelaide from the UK and bringing my RC Laser out with me, are there any clubs nearby which I could join or visit until my boat arrives?
