NELSON RADIO SAILING CLUB FINALLY HAS A HOME.
Click here for a photo gallery of the work as it progressed.
After many years of trying to find a suitable venue unaffected by tides, weed, or irrigation requirements, the Nelson Radio Sailing Club in collaboration with:
has developed a home base on land rented from the Nelson Regional Sewerage Business Unit land on Best Island.
This gives the club the ability to confidently plan not only its own sailing programs and competitions, but major regattas such as South Island and New Zealand Championships on behalf of the New Zealand Radio Yachting Association.
Nelson Radio Sailing Club consists of 45 men and women from throughout Tasman and Nelson and is now looking to grow the numbers through use of the new venue.
NRSN members currently sail the International One Metre Class (IOM) yachts as well as the DF65 and other designs.
It is a sport for young and old and if you have any model of Radio Controlled yacht, or would like to try it, contact either: Ken 027 299 5505, Basil 021 842 5809, or Denis 027 53 1444 for more information. We can arrange a yacht for you to try.
Yachts can be bought new or second hand or home built as many of our members have done. Club members are willing to assist and advise with home builds.
Nelson Radio Sailing Club is extremely proud of their new venue and sincerely thank Nelson Regional Sewerage Business Unit and sponsors above for their help, enthusiasm, and belief in our project.
