Sun City Yacht Club provides an opportunity for RCSC Cardholders to enjoy the sport of sailing and racing radio-controlled yachts here in Sun City. Our members experience ranges from those who have sailed on real yachts and dinghies to those who have never set foot on a boat. No matter how we started we all enjoy the fun of sailing and developing the skills of harnessing the power of the wind.
The club’s mission is to introduce residents, their guests and the visiting public to the sport of sailing radio controlled (RC) yachts and scale model boats.
While club membership is limited to RCSC Cardholders; guests and visitors are always welcome.
The Club sails throughout the year at the following times:
- October – April: 12 noon to 3pm, Sunday and Thursday
- May – September: 10am to 1pm, Sunday
The normal sailing location is at the SW corner of Viewpoint Lake behind the Lawn Bowling green at Lakeview Center.
Under a reciprocal agreement Members can sail with West Valley R/C Mariners on the lake at Surprise Farm Community Park, R/C Lake in Surprise 11 miles west of Sun City.
For new sailors not wishing to buy a new yacht there are used yachts for sale in the local area at fair prices. Club officers can assist in directing buyers to sellers.
Sailing at other locations may be scheduled to provide a variety of sailing conditions and competitors for members. On such occasions notice will be given through the club web site and sailing calendar.
