IonA RC

Organizing a regatta for remote control boats can be quite a fulfilling experience. All you need are willing participants, a large body of water, and a plan. If you already have enough friends with RC boats interested in a race, then your next task is to look for a large enough body of water.

A local park with a large pond or lake, or even a local unused rock quarry (many are now filled with water), will work just fine. Get permission to hold a race and then survey the area. Design a course to test the maneuverability of RC boats, as well as a straight-away course for side-by-side speed racing. Gather up your friends, slap on some sunscreen, and enjoy a day of fun! If you really want to go all out, hand out prizes for first, second, and third place winners.
