Riverstone RC Model Sailing

Hello fellow sailors I just wanted to let everyone know how the RC model sailing activity turned out on Nov. 12, 2011. We had only 3 boats show up and even though that was a little disappointing I attributed it to the fact that it snowed the night before. However, the wind was great and was not too cold. It was a great morning of sailing, and I had a real hard time having to stop sailing, to much fun.

We love the ponds launch rock as we call it. It’s a long rock that sticks out into the pond that makes it really easy to launch from as the water is nice and deep. The Riverstone Pond has very clean water because it’s filtered and well maintained. It’s my favorite pond to RC model sail on due to the clean water, great wind, and lack of the green algae and milfoil that you see in so many ponds. Also, if your boat malfunctions it will not sail off into the horizon but will just land on the opposite shore.

Next month (Dec.) this pond is most likely going to be froze so we will sail at Independence Point right next to and on the west side of the Coeur d’Alene Resort. See calendar to the right of this article on this website for venue info, etc. Also to learn about this and other sailing venues, lakes, etc. go to funtosail.com
