In its formative years the club was successful to the extent of organising both National and International events culminating in the World Championships in 1999. The club has recently gone through some major restructuring and is now actively organising racing and events for Internation One Meter class boats and also Dragon Force RG65 class boats. WHAT WE DO RADIO CONTROLLED SAILING YACHTS The club now actively organises International One Meter Class (IOM) yacht racing. These are really fast boats and are the most popular radio controlled racing boat in the world. The club organisies one major event every year, the past couple of years we have seen a huge increase of interest in foreign competitors for this event. Usually held in March every year, we have recently been holding this event in Mellieha Bay and it has proved to be so successful that it has now become what we believe to be the only invitation event for the IOM class of boats with a fleet in excess of 40 boats. WHAT WE ARE DOING As the cost of IOM is on the high side, so the past 12 months has seen the introduction of the Dragon Force RG65 class of boat, these boats cost about EUR180.00 as a brand new boat complete with radio equipment and the boats perform exceptionally well. Are you interested? If so, please send an e-mail to [email protected] and we will invite you to come down to our next meeting and have a go at one of these incredible little boats. HOW TO GET INVOLVED We would welcome any new or prospective members to contact the club on the enquiry form as we would be able to allow the use of one of the club members boats if you wish to try out this wonderful and relaxing sport. One of the principle aims of the club is to encourage the younger generation to join in the sport thereby ensuring the future of remote controlled sailing in Malta. The club is now actively organising "fun race days", details in the notice area above, where anyone interested in trying their hand at sailing one of these hi-tech and fast sailing yachts is welcome to come along. We also welcome visitors from abroad to come and join us on our saiiing days which are now being organised all over the Island, to meet our members and share in the enjoyment of the sport. So if you are planning a trip over to our lovely island, please contact us as we look forward to meeting you. 2020 IOM Winter Series Champion Alan Desira - MLT 195 2019 IOM Spring Series Champion Pete Williams - MLT 69 2019 MacMed Summer Shield IOM Champion Alan Desira - MLT 95 2019 Matthew Debono Cup Champion Tony Davison - MLT 53 2019 MacMed Summer Shield DF Champion Mark Agius - MLT 21 2019 IOM National Champion Darren Abdilla - MLT 25 2019 DF Autumn Series Champion Chris Poulton - MLT 6 2020 DF Winter Series Champion Chris Poulton - MLT 6 2019 DF Spring Series Champion Chris Poulton - MLT 6 2019 IOM Autumn Series Champion Darren Abdilla - MLT 25 2019 DF National Champion Darren Abdilla - MLT 25...
