Hi wonder if any one would be inerested in form a group to sail models at a local lake (scailing dam) I have arranged permision to sail but would be best if there was a few like minded fellow modeling folks.
I have contacted the manager and they would be will to allow a group to start sailing there..
Just a shot in the dark...

Have you tried an ad in the local paper/library. Because, shock horror, not all model boaters are on Mayhem

Yes putting local adds in at Whitby and Redcar and Guisbrough (guis is the only one with a model shop  ).

Will you have a designated area just for model sailing.
When the sailing club started I trailed my Albacore dinghy
up with a couple of others for a demonstration race.
Good place to sail with plenty of wind I recall.
Best wishes Pete I hope you can find a few kindred spirits
to sail with you, but a bit far for me.

I think as is we would have limits on certain days, due to sailing events ect(full size) ..
I'ts quite a big lake and as such would think we could have an area just for boats in the future,. Also would be sail and electric (not high speed)  due to the lake being also part of a nature reserve.
Fingers crossed I can get a few interested as the local club at Redcar seems not to be running.
