The CMYC supports all classes of model yachts.
At the moment the most popular are EC12s and our locally designed "J" class.
The CYMC operates every Saturday afternoon and Wednesday all day, from Lake Victoria, which is situated in Hagley Park in the center of Christchurch New Zealand Recently two of our members sailed their R/C models around Quail Island in Lyttelton Harbour,The boats used were a "Highlander" A Class and a "Star" 10 Rater.
Quail Island is a volcanic "plug" in the extinct crater that forms Lyttelton Harbour, it has had various uses over the years - quarantine station, leprosy hospital, base for Scotts polar expedition and farm. The island is now under the control of the NZ Dept of Conservation, is being replanted in it's original vegetation and is a popular picnic spot. |
