 The Marathon Sailing Club  Is  Changing Course......

Attrition caused  by illnesses, hurricane relocation, a general decrease in active sailing interest, lack of younger members has resulted in a decline in active membership. Thus, it has been decided to change course. 

Dues have been eliminated, our yearly calendar of events has been cancelled and we will no longer formally plan club lunches/dinners, group cruises or race sunfish.

Our weekly races of the  radio controlled (rc) sailboats  at the Valhalla Quarry  January-March will continue and  participation is now  being expanded to all  Snowbirds  and Keys' resident sailors. There are extra RC boats available at no cost. If you have any interest in sailboat races, we welcome you.
 
From time to time we will have informal gatherings and parties. Our friendships don’t go away and the legacy of the Marathon Sailing Club continues.


March 1, 2022

RC Sailing Details....

RC sailboats are the way to race and stay dry. We have a fleet of CR-914 and Victoria radio-controlled sailboats. Each boat has two controls: one for the rudder and the other for the sails. On Wednesdays, we place buoys to meet wind conditions and using an electronic starter, we race for about two hours each week. We have numerous races each time and generally do not keep score. The boats are easy to control and provide for exciting racing.
​
We welcome all Snowbirds and Keys' residents to join us during the winter season, January through March. We will loan you our boats and there are no costs.
