2013 RC Laser Nationals – Adelaide 5th – 6th October. NoR and Entry Form Posted

The Notice of Race and Entry Form for the 2013 Australian RC Laser Championships have been posted on the ARYA website at http://www.radiosailing.org.au/2013arya/index.php/notice-of-race/nats/244-2013-australia-rc-laser-championships

The event will be held on the 5th and 6th of October, with a practise session on the afternoon of the 4th. The venue is the Patawalonga Lake at Glenelg North, South Australia and the host club is the Adelaide Radio Control Yacht Racing Club. The club will be holding a BBQ dinner at the venue after sailing on Saturday and it is hoped that all competitors will attend and meet each other in an informal setting.

There will be the usual trophies for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places with additional prizes for the first unplaced competitor from each state and an encouragement award. Unfortunately Daylight Savings kicks in on Sunday morning, so don’t forget to reset your watches on Saturday night.

The club does not have a pontoon to launch from, so you will need to get your feet wet. Appropriate footwear is strongly recommended.

Radio Control Laser – Order Parts You Need In June

Order Your RC Laser Parts and Boats Before The End Of June.

This is a quick reminder if you need parts or are thinking of purchasing a boat or kit to do so before the end of June. This is not necessarily because it’s the end of the financial year – although that is a good reason. July is a full on month here for us at Radio Control Sailing Australia and orders wont be able to be filled quickly in July.

So if you need THAT part for your RC Laser on the weekend or in a few weekends time –  get in and order it now.

Thanks in advance and wishing you all great sailing this weekend.

Victorian Radio Control Laser Championships 2013 Report

The 2013 RC Laser Victorian Championship was held at the National Water Sports Centre in Patterson Lakes on the weekend of April 27th.

Nine Skippers battled the conditions in very strange winds to say the least. The weather was fine and cloudy, with the rain holding off for eventful day off sailing.

The Skipper to beat after winning the first 5 races was Scott Fleming. Demonstrating why he is the current champion, Scott showed excellent speed, control and timing in picking the wind shifts. Second and third was a contest between Terry Rowe and Jurgen Luther.
