Website Update
You may have noticed things haven't changed much on the surface of the pages, we've been doing a lot of work on the structure to make the site more maintainable and robust, like incorporating features to make it more difficult for spammers to capture email addresses, and eliminating obsolete information that may get indexed by search engines and mislead people.

A feature that has been requested is the Suppliers page.  The format and operation is being formulated presently.  With that in mind, we'd like to have input from you regarding your favorite suppliers.  Who are the suppliers you refer your friends to?

Just send the information to the Web Management Team.

 Pour Party 2010

My annual lead pouring party is this Saturday starting at 11am.  While this started as an EC12 event many years ago, many more classes are participating these days.  I have heard requests for J ballast and Star 45 bulbs.  There will be a bunch of seasoned veterans here to help anyone with just about any boat issue.  Everyone is invited.  Feel free to stop on by. The address is 102 Preakness Dr, Mount Laurel, NJ.  The shop is around back.

If you can't join us, it will be on the internet again this year.  The link to the webcam will be active on Saturday.  Don't expect too much excitement from the camera.

EC12 Playgrounds

Twenty-one racing events are listed in the regatta section at the AMYA website where RC sailors will gather for a day and a half of sailing, racing, visiting and socializing. There is always a Saturday night gathering. This spans eleven months through four Regions with five regional status events with a National Championship every year. Come visit with us and observe competitive sailing and meet the people.  You are likely to get some transmitter time.

Submissions are accepted.  Do you have something quick you want to get to a bunch of people?  Sure send it in.  However, anything more than a paragraph really belongs in the AMYA magazine, Model Yachting

As always, thanks for reading.
