The Rygged Start
Personal Handicapping System for radio controlled model yachts now in use throughout the world

We are happy to give newcomers to the sport guidance with building a class yacht from scratch and give instruction in the racing rules for radio controlled yachts.

Come along and have a go
Although we hold organised racing for only the IOM and R6M classes we will welcome anyone with any RC sailing yacht. If you do not already have a boat then don't rush out and buy one until you have seen boats in action at the club as you might otherwise be disappointed if you can't join in with the existing boats. The Sailing Programme shows when we sail but do heed the warning to check before you come.
