Come Sail With Us
Whether it's getting the skills to race internationally or to have a sail on a Saturday in a relaxing environment - Southern Cross is for you !
​
Currently we sail:
Saturdays from 11:00 am at the end of the dam wall.
We sail 3 classes: R10R and a modified East Coast 12, week about, but mostly we have a mixed fleet - works well.
​
From 2023 we are starting the DF65 class as an introductory boat - they can be purchased on-line or through hobby shops at a reasonable place.
Radio Sailing - What is it?
With a 2 channel radio control transmitter we control steering and a winch or
servo motor to control the sails.
​
Using the power of the wind, like full size yachts, we race around a course of
marker buoys. We use essentially the same racing rules as the full size boats.
​
Skill comes with reading the wind, racing tactics, and not making mistakes.

Our Club
We've been racing R10R model yachts at Walka Water Works for 23 years now. A big fleet is a great spectacle on the dam.
