## What we do
### RC Sailing

Real sailboats in miniature, steered by radio from shore. Same wind, same tactics,
and you (almost) never get wet.

- The RC sailing area is marked by buoys and located by the south parking lot at Lake Gregory Regional Park.
- No boat yet? Members share club boats, lend gear, and are glad to teach newcomers.
- Members also sail in regattas throughout Southern California.
