Onboard IOM - Radio Controlled Yacht Racing in Gladstone Qld.
Loading...
Uploaded by cooperhome01 on Jan 1, 2012
The GRCYC sail most Sundays (with the kind permission of the Gladstone Ports Corporation) between the first & second fingers of the Gladstone Marina. It is advised to check the racing calendar on this site before heading down though. It's one of the best places to sail with the prevailing SE winds and great 'walk by' interest. The wave chop from down the marina is dampened by the charter vessels moored in their pens and the wind shifts around these vessels enough to give you a glimmer of hope when trailing on the last leg! The RC yachts can be launched from either finger, however best viewing is from half way down the course in the middle of them both. On high tide a wet launching is easy off the bank but on low it's almost impossible with the deep mangrove mud - but we persevere.
Please come down and have a look at these racing yachts in action. If you're keen the club has purchased it's own boat for interested people and prospective members.... Have a go - but be warned - It's ADDICTIVE!

We used a Waterproof Sports Camera that can be bought on ebay. It's about the size of a small LED torch and we made up attachments to hold it in position.
