MVMYC RC Sailing Club
Never sailed before, no problem we will teach you. looking to compete, we do that too with racing at local, regional, and national events all over the usa..
We are American Model Yacht Association (AMYA) sanctioned Club #73 of the AMYA Region 4, Midwest Located in Dayton, Ohio. We sail radio control model Sailboats that are registered classes with the American Model Yacht Association. Racing rules for model yachts are the same as the full size boats, which are administered by the US Sailing Federation. With few of the rules being modified for our small size boats.
Dragon Flite 95
The DF95 is 37.4 inches (950mm) long, overall height of 53.1 inches, and weighs about 4.6 pounds. The hulls come assembled and trimmed, with or without a radio installed. Hull is vacuum formed polystyrene. Rig assembly is required, taking 2 to 3 hours. The most popular boat sailed. Recommended Club boat.
Star 45 is a 45" long hard chine hull, overall height 86 inches, and weighs a minimum of 12 pounds. It is a semi-scale model of the full-size Olympic Star. Some of these models are scratch built using plans available from the AMYA. Others are partially fabricated with major components available from suppliers.
The V-32 is 32 inches long, overall height 51 inches, draft 9 inches, and weighs a minimum of 6 pounds. Hull is vacuum formed polystyrene and the deck is plywood with an attractive wood grain.
Soling 1 Meter
The S1M is one meter (39.37 inches) long, overall height 64.5 inches, draft 10 inches, and weighs a minimum of 10 pounds. This is the AMYA class with the most registered boats. Class rules require that it is supplied by Victor Model Products as a kit or factory built.
Dragon Force 65
The DF65 is 25.9 inches (650mm) long, overall height of 52.7 inches, and weighs a little less than 3 pounds. Class rules require that it is built by Joysway. No kit available. No modifications to the hull shape, keel, or rig design are allowed. Rig assembly is required, taking 2 to 3 hours. Recommend DF95 over DF65 since DF95 is what most club members sail

Home News Interview with Mike Wyatt, President of the American Model Yachting Association
Interview with Mike Wyatt, President of the American Model Yachting Association
Is This Really Sailboat Racing? Heck Yes!
US Sailing: Tell us about AMYA?
Mike Wyatt: The American Model Yachting Association was founded 50 years ago as an informal organization, using a newsletter to communicate to and connect with its members. Currently, membership stands at approximately 2,250 members, though there are many more RC boat owners/sailors out there. We sanction about 30 different classes of radio controlled boats.
- 19 one design classes that are sanctioned by AMYA – rules that one design in nature
- 8 Development classes are very permissive in rules. Many are home built.
- A few vintage groups with boat designs before 1970, as far back as 1900.
US Sailing: What’s the history of model boat racing?
Mike Wyatt: Model sailboat racing started in the 1870’s. Back then, the boats were free-sailed, set and released by the skipper, sailed across the pond to an assistant who reset the sails and sent the boat back the other direction. After that there were mechanical means of steering, much like the early version of “autopilot” gear used on cruising boats.
Around 1970, radio-controlled sailing began to take over, and is now almost 100%. Although we still have sailors that race vintage boats using vane gear control.
- The oldest, still-active model sailing clubs in the U.S. are the Central Park MYC (Model Yacht Club) in New York City, and the San Francisco MYC Established in 1896. But model sailing started in the USA, in the New York area in 1872. There were three clubs that were eventually absorbed by the current one in Central Park.
Mike Wyatt: I have heard sailboat racing described as “a chess game on the water,” with the strategy and tactics determining makes a difference between winning or not. Radio sailing is the “same game with different pieces.”
Radio sailing is low cost. You can get going with as little as $500 for everything a person needs including the boat, radio equipment, batteries and charger. The most expensive ($5000-6000) is a J-Boat design approximately over 100 pounds, about 8 feet long, and an open design heavy enough that the class generally requires two people to launch. One of the most popular “J Boats” is “ Ranger ” a model of the 1930’s America’s Cup winner, but with a Marconi rig.
Due to the low costs, it is feasible to own many RC classes. I have a friend who owns (per his wife’s count) over 50 RC sailboats, and several boats in some of the classes.
Radio sailing can be done by anyone, regardless of age, gender, or physical ability. We have radio sailors who are in wheelchairs, on scooters, and many who sail comfortably seated in a folding chair.
US Sailing: Is it really racing, or is it more like playing video games?
Mike Wyatt: Radio controlled racing has very little resemblance to a video game. You are still outside, in the wind and elements, watching an actual boat that you have to tune for the conditions and race around a course. I see people who were full scale sailors before, actually “ooching” with their transmitter – hands and bodies moving around as they try to “ooch” their boat along!
US Sailing: What are the key characteristics of the top model boat racers?
Mike Wyatt: In full scale sailing, physical aspects are different – you feel the boat. In radio sailing you only have your eyes and concentration is critical. Tuning is done before you launch. Model boats have vangs, adjustable backstays, adjustable mast rake and rig tension, and sheeting angles. All the same controls that are on a full scale boat need to be adjusted pre sail in model competition. If you get it wrong, its painful and you lose. You cannot make changes until between races, and then they have to be fast before the next start.
US Sailing: Do they practice much?
Mike Wyatt: Exactly like full scale sailors, the best RC sailors tend to have sailed more than the ones who perform at a lower level. We have past World Champions, Olympic sailors, and even one past Swedish Olympic Team Coach. Many top-level sailors from full scale racing are part of our sport. Bruce Farr, Bob Johnstone, Chuck Millican, and many other very good sailors are RC sailors.
On the other hand, Peter Feldman (to my knowledge) was never a full scale sailor. But he is currently a National Champion in several RC Classes, and has only been in RC sailing for less than 5 years!
Because radio sailing is easier, you can “go sailing” in a one-hour block of time, even for just a few minutes. Many radio sailors sail more than they ever did in their full scale days. It is not impossible for RC sailors from some clubs to put in six days a week racing, in up to six to eight classes! My club (Western Reserve MYC in Northeast Ohio) will do over 600 heats/races per year – in seven months’ time. Equate to 80-90 races a month racing two to three hours a day. The less active clubs sail two days a week; the more active sail six days a week, and two classes a day. The bonus is that RC racing is very family friendly since racers can get home in a couple of hours to do other activities.
US Sailing: Do they play by the rules?
Mike Wyatt: Sailors, as you know, are competitive!
US Sailing: Speaking of the rules, how different are the rules to the regular Racing Rules of Sailing?
Mike Wyatt: Yes, we sail by the same Racing Rules of Sailing as used all over the World, with just a few variances because of the nature of our sport.
Appendix E of the RRS states the variances used in radio sailing-
- “The Zone” is four lengths, not three.
- “There are no Protest Flags – a racer protests verbally since he or she is on land within a few feet of the other sailors.
- The Start is signaled using a recorded countdown of two minutes – but usually just One Minute, No flags.
- Many clubs allow touching Marks (except the Start or Finish marks), because you are not ON the boat to see the Mark as well as you would in full scale sailing.
US Sailing: Do you find that model boat racers tend to race other boats too?
Mike Wyatt: About 50% of the sailors from my RC club have never been on a full scale sailboat. I think that active full scale sailors have no significant advantage from being full scale racers. The most obvious advantage for the full scale sailor might lie in the tuning aspects of the boats. Kids, women, and folks with physical challenges do not have a weight or strength disadvantage. Many of us sit down while racing.
Coaching is routinely done by the more experienced, gold fleet sailors for the less experienced. There are training sessions where these sailors work with those who want to learn and get better in RC boats. These sessions primarily involve tuning and sometimes include boat handling drills.
US Sailing: What are the most popular boats and where are they being sailed?
Mike Wyatt: The #1 boat in the USA and Canada is the Soling 1 Meter. There have been more than 10,000 Soling 1 Meter kits sold, and 687 of the 2,250 AMYA Members, own over 1,000 Soling 1 Meter boats. It is approximately a 1/8 scale model of the International Soling. The Soling is sold as a Kit that takes maybe 30-40 hours to build. But with the popularity of the class, it is easy to find a used RC Soling, and like any one design, a good used one is as competitive as a new one.
And, in every club there is likely someone who will build a kit boat for you, for around $700. Divide by the hours and you see that professional building is a labor of love. The guy building a Soling for you does that for around $ 10 an hour!
The second largest and fastest-growing RC Class is the Dragon Flight 95. The DF95 has 560 AMYA Members owning over 600 boats. This boat is a strict one design, sails well, is light and quick, and has an active class in terms of clubs and regattas. DF-95s as well as the smaller DF-65 are being sailed at full scale yacht clubs as one design fleets. The 95s were even sailed at the 2019 San Diego NOOD regatta! The 2020 San Diego NOOD DF-95 event was also scheduled- but was canceled due to COVID-19. The growing popularity of this one-design is also because it is sold almost ready to sail. You can put one together in a couple of hours, just knowing how to tie a few knots. And it is a great value at a little under $400.
Another is the RC Laser, pretty close to the prototype model of Bruce Kirby’s design, is actually a little longer than 1 meter. It is a strict OD and ready to sail out of the box.
Just like in the society as a whole, people are looking for things that are ready to go, rather than having to be built. So, a used boat, a kit or a ready to sail boat is an early choice people have to make.
US Sailing: How would you characterize the average model boat sailor?
Mike Wyatt: We have no real statistics. But I would say the average AMYA Member is in his or her early 60s, so many are retired. But we have sailors that range from young teens to mid-80s. Just like full scale sailors, we like to have a good time. But the AMYA has clubs in over 30 States and Canada, so there is a wide variety of people, from all backgrounds, who are active RC sailors.
I raced International FJs (Flying Juniors) for 40 years, was the Class President and the Chief Measurer, and have raced RC since 2007. Once I picked up a transmitter, I gave my wetsuit and PFD away!
US Sailing: How complicated is the equipment? DO people change gear regularly, new sails or other parts/pieces?
Mike Wyatt: Not complicated at all. Most RC boats have just two servos, one that controls the sheeting angle, and another that controls the rudder. The boat has a receiver to get signals from a transmitter, which is in the hands of the skipper. Range is about ¾ miles – more than you would ever want.
Just like in full scale boats, sails are faster when they have good shape. Most RC boats use Dacron sails, although some allow mylar and some less costly ones use nylon sails. A full suit of sails, main and jib, is around $80-$150.
US Sailing: Are some venues preferable? Ponds, pools, bays, rivers, current, no current?
Mike Wyatt: RC sailing is possible on almost any body of water, and in winds from a near calm to over 20 MPH. Boats can be tuned to handle more wind, and some classes have multiple rigs for different wind strength, even pools with fans will allow winter sailing! Set the fans up with “offset” for preferred tacks.
US Sailing: How do you set courses and handle starts? Is there a race committee?
Mike Wyatt: Races are generally 5-15 minutes in length. Our club sails 12 races a day! That is another advantage of RC sailing – lots of action. A 1-minute Start sequence on a 12-15 foot line with 12 boats can be bedlam. So, we get a lot more starts, mark roundings, and close competition than is typical in full scale racing. Even more than collegiate racing!
There is a race director who does not complete. He/she sets the course, starts the clock on a one- or two-minute cycle and we are off! Most big regatta courses use W/L courses of 100 – 150-foot legs. In club races, most are triangle courses. Normally, championship fleets will sail full legs, starting at the leeward end, and finishing in the middle. Club races might start and finish in middle.
US Sailing: Is it difficult to get involved? What does it take? Is it expensive?
Mike Wyatt: Easy. First, go the AMYA Website: www.theamya.org
On page 1 of the website, there is a link to the AMYA’s 200 th Issue to Model Yachting , our quarterly magazine, and the only magazine on our sport in the world. This issue was the 200 th one of our magazine, and also celebrated the 50 th Anniversary of the AMYA. It is online, free, and all-color. Issue #200 will give you a great look at the sport, the history, and the classes in radio sailing. Click Here.
Anyone who is interested should look at what AMYA Clubs are available in their immediate area, and then contact them for a visit. Click here .
Every club welcomes new people and has a list of available used boats to buy (if not actual club-owned boats available for sale or to borrow). The club members will give a prospect good guidance on how the get started, and let you sail an RC boat. Many will even allow a prospective sailor to race one of their boats in a club race. Come join us – our mantra is KISMIF – “Keep it Simple; Make it FUN!”

Sarasota Model Yacht Club
Welcome - About Us
The Sarasota Model Yacht Club got its start in Sarasota in 1996. Our club sails the American Model Yachting Association-sanctioned one-design Soling One Meter R/C , RC Laser, DF65, DF95 and (during the winter only) IOM model yachts. The club meets six (seven times a week when the IOM sail) times per week for practice and racing. We sail at the Nathan Benderson Park at the West Lake on Athletes Drive. The West Lake is off of Honore at Athletes Drive.
The Soling 1-Meter kit-based model is a pleasure to sail. As a one-design, it is an ideal introduction to model yachting, yet it provides a competitive boat for the best of veterans as well and is available from “ Boatyard John ” (our club builder).
The RCLaser is factory-built ready to sail and available at intensitysails.com
We also sail the Dragon Force (DF) DF65 and the DF95 RC boats.
The DF 65 is one of the fastest growing class of RC sailboats in the U.S. The boat has earned this distinction by being a great one-design sailing boat while being the least expensive ready-to-sail boat on the market. At around $350 for a boat with radio and receiver and about 3 hours of assembly and you're on the water.
The DF95 is the fastest growing class in the USA and is near Ready-to-Sail in a kit form from Radiosailing.net or from “Boatyard John”.
All skill levels are welcome, from neophytes to crusty old salts! You will find that our members can be very helpful in getting you involved with this great hobby. Come on out to watch the hard-fought races or join us for practice and racing.
The Soling One Meter (S1M) : This S1M the largest class in the U.S. and Florida. We sail Solings Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Race Captains rotate throughout the year. Craig Collemer is the Race Captain.
The RC Laser : This is the largest RC class in the world. We sail Lasers on Friday. Steve Lippincott is the Race Captain.
The DF65 and the DF95 : These are the newest and fastest-growing restricted one-design class in both Florida and the U.S.
We sail DF95's on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Bill Hendrickson is the Race Captain. The DF65 fleet sails Monday and Wednesday. Rob Wucki is the Race Captain.
IOM The IOM Class is considered a Development Class by the AMYA.
The International One Metre class is the fastest-growing class in the world. This class is distinct and different in purpose from the US One Meter class, and complements the International Marblehead Class as a simpler, less expensive boat. The International class has a one-design rig, and has minimum weights on the keel and overall, and restricts the hull material. The net effect of these differences is that the typical cost spiral of lighter weight, and more expensive materials and manufacturing processes, is arrested. This allows amateur designers and builders a chance to design and build with little concern that they are building in a disadvantage due to weight. This is a feature not found in any existing AMYA class and is one of the reasons that the class is so popular around the world. We sail IOM's on Sundays in season. John Stryhn " Boatyard" is the Race Captain.
Where and when do we race?
The club races at Benderson Park on the West Lake. The West Lake is located at the intersection of Honore and Athletes Drive, Sarasota Fl.
GPS Address: 5700 Athletes Drive, Sarasota FL 34235

Mid Atlantic Model Yacht Club
Radio Control Model Yacht Club
The Mid Atlantic Model Yacht Club is a group of sailing enthusiasts who get together once a month to race radio-controlled model sailboats. Our club is a member of the American Model Yachting Association, AMYA , which is the National governing body of model yachting. Our members come from the surrounding areas in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware.
We have skilled model builders in the club who will help new members get started and resolve construction problems along the way. We also have accomplished racers who are willing to share their knowledge to help a colleague improve his boats performance. The competitive spirit is always present at our races but the real emphasis in our club is to have fun and to promote the hobby of model boat sailing in the Mid-Atlantic region. We welcome new members.
What We Sail
We race the East Coast 12 Meter (EC12) boat at the Mid Atlantic Model Yacht Club. The EC12 is a one-design boat where all dimensions are strictly controlled. The hull is 58 inches long with a sail area of 1200 square inches. The AMYA website and the EC12 website have lots of information about this model yacht.
Where We Sail
Directions from Interstate I-295 Take the exit for Rt 73 South. At the first traffic light, stay to the right, go through the light and take the 360 degree jug-handle onto Fellowship Road North. At the second light, turn right onto Gaither Drive. Stay left at the Y and follow Gaither Drive through the Industrial Park. Turn right at the light onto Church Street.
