Radio controlled sailing comes to Lo Pagan.
The coming of the new year has brought a new activity to Lo Pagan in the Province of Murcia. The New Radio Controlled Mar Menor Sailing Group has set up its home in the newly built water sports centre.
The centre was provided by the San Pedro Ayuntamiento and is adjacent to the well known Lo Pagan Marina and the fishing quay. The water sports centre overlooks the Mar Menor and boasts what must be the one of the finest facilities in the Province. It facilitates such activities as Water Polo, Kayaking, Dragon boat racing and now Radio Controlled Sailing has also been added to that list. The facility also has a state of the art gym so If you should feel the need to boost your own physical fitness after the Christmas indulgencies then it is very well equiped, “I do have a look in from time to time but just come over feeling tired”.
While we welcome all classes of sailing yachts, the main racing class is the International One Metre known simply as an I.O.M. This class of yacht is one of two such classes recognised by the ISAF which is the governing body for international racing yachts and the Olympic classes, “so we are in good company”. There are many national and international regattas organised world wide producing both national and world champions every year. Information on the I.O.M class can be found on the
www.mya.co.uk web site, which is the U.K. Model Yachting Association and at
www.rya.org.uk.
Our members are a small group of enthusiasts who have been busy for three months putting the new club together. We are now pleased to be able to offer our members a comprehensive facility with everything from an up to date web site, race equipment, through to a new rescue boat and engine so no need to worry if your boat developes a technical problem. We are now looking for more new members, experienced or beginners,
all are most welcome. If you are new to this sport then we have members only too willing to help you along the way, many of our members have years of experience in this exciting and interesting hobby. If you are a competent boat builder we can put you in contact with many suppliers of parts, or if you would prefer to buy a new or second-hand boat we can also help. Also do not forget the ladies, for you are most welcome, some wives attend most weeks so you will not be alone. You can also be a vital part of the team, after all how is he going to turn up without forgetting his boat?
We race every week and will soon be putting together our sailing calendar for 2015. After sailing we retire to one of the adjacent beach bars for a coffee, a bite to eat and a chat. You do not need to worry if you have never sailed a boat of any kind before, or are completely new to R. C. Sailing you will get all the help you need.
