Hey,don't knock sail boats. I can use a sail boat in ponds that you can't use power boats, no noise,no danger to people in the water. Larry

RE: boating in eastern MA and RI
Hey, I live in the Boston area. Am currently working on a 1/10 scale crackerbox, building it from scratch. I have a lot of work to go still on it but I am enjoying it. Nice to know there are other RC boaters in the area!

RE: boating in eastern MA and RI
Where are you sailing your crackerbox, Fredi28?
I am showing up at the Charles River Storrow Lagoon (MGH Red line Stop) for their sailboats..That's a sweet boating place built specifically for model boats!!! Right now I am in the middle of waterproofing the prop shaft with Marine Grease and trying to get an esc for a starter speed boat, but it won't keep up with a crackerbox...[link=http://www.esplanadeassociation.org/thingstodo/model_sail_aboutus.html#bmscCalendar]http://www.esplanadeassociation.org/thingstodo/model_sail_aboutus.html#bmscCalendar[/link]

Wow I did not know they had any sort of races around the New England area. Are they a yearly event? If so that is exciting news and it will give me a goal to work towards for next years races. This is actually my first build, i am a new RC Boater but am quickly becoming more and more passionate about the hobby. I'm sure once i finish my C Box that will only increase. Any tips on what type of a set up I should use regarding the motor, and other hardware? Once mine is finished we'll have to meet up and run them together!

Believe there is an RC sailboat exibition at the Mystic Seaport (Mystic CT) today (Sat and possibly Sunday)> I was thinking of heading down but not sure if I am allowed out to play today - headed to Patchogue-Long Island Sunday to watch the offshore races Sunday.

Some day the governing bodies of both organizations will get smart and combine NAMBA and IMPBA for the betterment of all.
