Members

From the six who attended the initial meeting of M3SC in February, 2001, our club has grown rapidly. Our members include teenagers and folks in their 70s. Most of us live in Columbia, but our fame has attracted sailors from all around our area as well, from St. Louis to Kansas City to the Lake of the Ozarks. Most of us have sailed full-scale boats, and some of us currently own cruising sailboats as well as RC boats. Although one of our members has raced full-scale sailboats for over 50 years (and has won five national championships along the way), most of us have little or no full-scale racing experience. Only two of our current members sailed RC boats before M3SC was founded. All the rest of our members were/are totally new to RC racing.

The following table shows the roster of boat owners and others who sail with M3SC. Also shown are our boats, arranged in order of sail numbers (UC indicates under construction) and the radio frequency channel crystal(s) owned by each member (DSS = digital spread spectrum radio). To see pictures of some of our CR 914s and their significant others, click here.
