Ottawa Area Model Yacht Club

I've been a Modeller since the 1960's and built a couple on sailboats in the 1970's, one of which I still have and when my 2 year old second cousin came to visit the cottage last summer I thought of recommisioning it or of getting something better. Weeds are an issue at the cottage and Fred Zufelt recommended I get a Mini 12 and let me try his father Jim's boat. I was impressed with the performance and turning ease and ability not to pick up weeds but didn't like the string winch system.  I spotted Tony's ad for his Mini 12 and purchased it and have installed my radio, made some changes and have done some test sailing at the cottage.  I plan to sail at my Mississippi lake cottage during my vacation but when I am in Ottawa working during the week I hope to get out some Wednesday evenings to see the members and learn a few things about setting up the boat for better performance.
