Mawson Lakes is located about 15 Kilometres North-West of the Adelaide, South Australia, central business district.

The lake is man made and either by design or by accident, it is one of the best lakes in the country for model yachting. Because of the design of the lake, club activities take the form of walk around match racing.

Saturday Sailing

Hits: 1152

The Mawson Lakes Model Yacht Club was formed to provide an easy way for enthusiasts to become involved in the  radio control sailing hobby. We see ourselves as an entry level cruising yacht club that will help you with the basic principles of sailing and trimming model sailboats. We generally prefer to have a cruise around the lake while walking with our boats. It makes for a relaxing and sometimes brisk walk, particularly when the course includes both the main and promenade lakes. We vary it with close quarter sailing while we stay on the pontoon - that suits the less energetic and improves boat handling.

If you are looking for a relaxing sail without the hassles, Tuesday may very well be the sailing day for you. The club supports a day for those that want to participate in an unorganised way, that is, no formalities. Sailing starts at 10 am and generally finishes at 2 pm. A good time to practice for the events on Saturday, meet new members or generally escape.
