Please join us at Tualatin Commons tomorrow (9/9), 1:30 PM, for Footy Race Day. Weather should cooperate with a significant cooling trend. Of late, Micro Magic skippers have made up the majority of our participants – we’ll see if a sufficient number of Footys show to allow the race as scheduled. Micro Magic skippers take heart – we’ll be sure to have several on the water.

I launched my motorized R/C tugboat (Rose City Rescue) last outing and its performance in placing course markers and in retrieving disabled boats exceeded my expectations. Rosie will be on the water tomorrow (by 1 PM) for some further testing of both functions. I’m bringing a real camera to get some shots for our webpage as well as sharing with Vac-U-Boat.com.

I plan to launch my tug for her maiden voyage at Tualatin Commons today – probably about 12:30 so as not to interfere with racing.

Some of you know that I’ve been building a R/C motorized tug boat for use in rescue operations when control of one of our sailboats is lost mid-pond for whatever reason. I’m close to completion – I’ll be working on it today – and may have it ready for the water tomorrow. I’ll let you all know tomorrow AM whether it’s a go or not.

Join us for Footy Race Day at Westmoreland tomorrow (8/12) at 1:30 PM. In our recent outings, Micro Magics have far outnumbered Footys on the water. Come on, Footy skippers, show your interest. I’m sure there will be some Micro Magics on the water too, so feel free to bring yours (or any other boat you wish to sail).

We’re having an unscheduled sail at Tualatin Commons at 1:30 PM this Sunday (7/29). Join us if you would like. I know that there will be Micro Magics there, but bring any boat you like.

Join us at Westmoreland tomorrow, 7/22, 1:30 PM for a Micro Magic Race Day. I hear tell there’s a new Micro Magic in town and I’m looking forward to seeing the boat and meeting the builder/skipper. Let’s see how many MM’s we can get on the water – but join us with whatever boat you want to bring.

Please join us at Tualatin Commons tomorrow (Thursday, 7/19) at 4 PM for a late afternoon into early evening fun sail. Footys, Micro Magics and all other boat classes are welcome.

Hey Footy skippers! Join us for a Footy Race Day tomorrow, Sunday July 8, 1:30 PM at Tualatin Commons. Of late, it seems momentum at RCMSC has been shifting from Footys to Micro Magics. Nothing wrong with that – I love seeing our MM fleet growing and the enthusiasm of the MM skippers. We started as a Footy club and we continue to support the class. Bring your Footys and let’s get a bunch of them on the water tomorrow.

We had 5 Micro Magics on the water today. Major kick. Thanks to all the skippers for a great day.
