I do a little RC sailing in Springfield, IL with a Kyosho Fairwind: when it's too windy for flying, it's perfect for the sailing. Like with my planes, I actually have multiple hulls under various levels of construction or repair, and only one mostly ready to go at any one time, yet still more kits and scratch projects on the 'to do" list.

Also, as with my planes, I have not had  a chance to compete against anyone, and have mixed feelings about wanting to: I'm really more a casual easygoing flyer/boater type.  Still, it might be fun to try a race around some buoys in the Washington Park trout pond, just once....

I can't really find anybody to sail with in Springfield, there's no AMYA club here, I think the closest is St. Louis, which is too far for me to go. Oh well, I can be the commodore of my own club of one for now, at least we won't bitch about the dues:-)
