Two Notes:

- Individual boat pics!!! If you sailed at the June 2011 Region IV Championship at Camp Stigwandish, I likely have a professionally-made photo of your boat!! I have completed the resizing and editing of the photos, and can e-mail them to you. Send Mike an e-mail: mdwyatt@roadrunner.com - and I'll respond with pictures of YOUR boat!

- 2012 Region IV Regional Championship Regatta announced for June 8 (practice) 9, and 10, 2012, again at BSA Camp Stigwandish. The Notice of Race is posted in WRMYC Downloads, to the left!!

Based in Northeastern Ohio, we build, sail, and race Soling One Meter model yachts. You will find much information about us, and about the Soling on the website, in the files in the "Downloads" section.

www.theamya.org

We are always actively seeking NEW MEMBERS- like you!

Closing the racing season: There is really no, or at least only a very SHORT "offseason" with the Western Reserve Model Yacht Club. Between Thanksgiving and New Year's there is generally only ONE club activity- our year-end party and awards dinner. But, starting right after the New Year, the Club will begin a new set of Build Clinics.

2012 will be no exception. BUT, right now you need to be making plans for the 2012!! Too many procrastinate, only to find that the weather has turned, WRMYC is sailing, and they are boatless. And- if you wait until spring to start building, you will miss at least half the season. It is typically hard to find used Soilings in the spring, so don't wait!!

NOW is the time to make your plans for the upcoming season.

Options:

There are a couple of used Solings at the bottom of this page. (A great value would be Jerry Pepera's- the first one yours truly ever built, and FAST.)

Toy N Hobby HQ in Geneva has their stock of NEW Soling One Meter Kits,and at a price that will save a couple of bucks over even buying "factory-direct".

Also,HobbyTown in Mentor has a NEW Victor-Built Soling One Meter in stock; all it needs is electronics (servos, radio, and batteries) and it is ready for the water. See the details below.

•2012 Build Clinics Start January 21 (revised date)

WRMYC will offer Soling One Meter Build Clinics to any and all interested parties. These sessions will take the builder- regardless of previous model-building experience- through the whole process of building a Soling.

The Building Clinics are FREE. WRMYC does them to promote new Membership participation and assist persons of every ability and experience to build and race Soling One Meter model yachts.

Participants will need to buy a Soling One Meter Kit (available at Toy N Hobby HQ in Geneva- see link to left).

WRMYC recommends that you buy your Soling One Meter in THREE steps:

1. The Kit, glues, and tools (about $200)- these will keep you busy for a month- 6 weeks. Then once you have the boat hull assembled, and are ready to put in the electronics;

2. Buy the battery pack, charger, servos and radio gear (about $200 if you buy the DX-5e)- and finally:

3. the lead and finishing materials (about $50- 75)

For needed equipment and materials- go to "WRMYC Downloads" (above left), and click "New Boat Gear Recommendations".

Clinics this year will be in Painesville, likely at Larry Lamphier's house.
