Benefits of joining MMMontreal

The club is dedicated to all aspects of RC boating (except high speed powered race boats) and has the will, skills and organization to help people of all ages to easily get into this rewarding hobby. Sailing at Baie D’Urfé (open lake) includes a rescue boat that members can use if needed. The club also organizes races between boats which use the Racing Rules of Sailing with some simplifications to suit these smaller boats.

Racing your RC sailboat

A course is set up, windward/leeward, with a start line in the center of the course, perpendicular to the wind. The races use a normal start with an upwind leg, a leeward leg and a second upwind final leg, or sometimes two times around. Boats are mostly DF65 and Weedless 1M classes. Learn about the Racing Rules of Sailing.

SAILING LOCATIONS

Marine Modellers Montreal club members get together on a regular basis in order to test their boats and sailing skills.

What members are saying
about Marine Modellers Montreal

Here’s a couple of testimonials from our members:

A few years ago my son had seen some RC sailboats racing in Kingston and expressed an interest in building one to sail in Montreal. When I started looking around, all I could find were expensive pre-assembled boats or kits. Then I came across the Marine Modelers of Montreal and contacted them.  With the guidance of the members we were able to build a Weedless S40 from scratch, which would have been very difficult to do without their expert help and knowledge.  We also  learned how to sail and race RC sailboats, which was the beginning of a great hobby.

As Covid descended, I had to put my primary hobby on pause.  I now needed something to do, something local.  R/C Sailing.. It’s become a fun way to spend a Sunday morning.  I also take my boat camping!
