Model Boats

The Model Sailing Club builds and races a fleet of radio controlled skipjacks on summer weekends in Fogg's Cove. During the winter months, models are built. The 48-inch skipjack models are built from scratch from plans sold by the club. The public is invited to join. To become a member of the Model Sailing Club, you must be a member of the Museum, and pay dues to the Sailing Club of $10 per year. Two business and social meetings, usually in January and April are held each year. A schedule of monthly racing from May to October is posted each year and are held on the Museum's grounds at Fogg's Cove on Sundays at 11am.
