RADIO A CLASS
This is a very active and thriving group at Gosport M.Y & B.Club and also on the National scene, encouraged by, amongst other things the successful World and National Championships held at Gosport in 2005.

A radio controlled development from the "Vane" or "Free Sailing" boats that form the history of the Club and the Sport (and which are also still an active fleet today), these yachts are generally around 2 metres in length and can weigh some
14 - 25 kg.

The Radio A fleet is a beautiful and inspiring sight and they attract many 'big boat' sailors for their authentic sailing style.

'Friendly' racing on the 1st. and 3rd. Thursday mornings of each month supplements the 11 rounds of Club Championship racing on Sunday mornings spread through the year.
Do come and see - and try.
