Tauranga Radio Sailing Club (TRSC) Notice
Annual Subscription Form: October 1, 2024 – September 30, 2025
Welcome Visitor/TRSC Member!
We are delighted to welcome you to The Lakes. We hope you enjoy your time here and consider joining our club. Our members are friendly, and you may even have the chance to sail with one of our yachts—don’t hesitate to accept!
Radio-controlled sailing is a fun and addictive sport! Here are a few key points to remember:
It’s a Sport and We Do It for Fun:
While we’re competitive, we believe in the principle, “What happens on the field stays on the field.” A quick "sorry" and a penalty turn is all that's required for mistakes.Sailing Rules:
We follow the official International Sailing Federation Racing Rules of Sailing. These are easy to learn and help protect our yachts.Race Officer (RO) Responsibilities:
The appointed RO controls the race and has the authority to disqualify members for bad behavior or inappropriate language. If no RO is appointed, Committee Members take on the role.Club Structure and Membership:
TRSC is informal but affiliated with the New Zealand Radio Yachting Association (NZRYA). Each member receives a sticker from NZRYA, making them eligible for national and international regattas. Our 2024 subscription is free, but we do collect a $10 NZRYA fee.Regattas:
TRSC occasionally holds regattas with outside sailors, and members are expected to help.
