Calendar
The Gauteng Model Boat Club meets at
Emmarentia Dam, Johannesburg, near the parking area for the Johannesburg
Botanical Gardens. Occasionally the sailors meet at other venues and this is
announced to members on the GMBC WhatsApp group.
The second Saturday and last Sunday of every month are the primary club days where all members and all boats (sail,
scale and electric power) are welcome on the water. At these meetings no one
class of boats has right of way over another, but Club 500 speedboats are
encouraged to run towards the end of the day.
On the first Sunday of every month a
regatta is held for the GMBC IOM Sailing Championships at the Rusty Hook
restaurant in Wilge Rd, Honeydew. Racing usually starts at 11h00.
On the third Saturday of every month
there will be sailing races to allow skippers to tune up for the Championship
regatta on the Sunday. On the third Sunday of every month a
regatta is held for the GMBC SeaWind Sailing Championships. Racing usually
starts at 11h00.
Apart from the last Sunday every
month, which is Open Day, every other Sunday is reserved for sailboat racing
which normally starts at 11h00.
There is also 'Whacky Wednesday'
casual sailboat racing each Wednesday afternoon at Emmarentia Dam.
All fixtures take place at
Emmarentia Dam unless otherwise stated.
