Capital Area Model Boat Association
CAMBA is the New York Capital District’s organization for radio control sailing. We are sanctioned club #32 of the American Model Yacht Association. (AMYA). Currently, we sail one class, the Soling 1 Meter one design.
The Soling 1 Meter
The Soling 1 Meter is an inexpensive one-design class. These boats are governed by a strict set of rules which keep the boats very evenly matched. This way the skipper is the most important factor in performance. More specific information about the Soling 1 Meter can be found at the AMYA web site: www.modelyacht.org.
Where and When
Currently, we sail on Tuesday and Friday afternoons at The Crossings of Colonie on Albany Shaker Road (See links for map). We start sailing at about 2:00 PM. Tuesday is a Soling One Meter race day. Friday is a more informal Open Sailing Day.
This year we are instituting weekend sailing. We will be sailing at 10 AM on the first Saturday of the month, and we will be sailing at 2 PM on the third Sunday of the month. The weekend sailing is informal open sailing.
Interest and Follow Up
If you have an interest in R/C sailing, we invite you to visit us at the Crossings to watch, and then try your hand at sailing. Tuesday is a better day to visit if you want to watch all the boats racing.
Friday or the weekends are the better if you want to talk to the skippers, and try radio control sailing. Several club members have a soling you can sail. If you are interested, please let us know in advance to insure the boats are available.
