The Admirals Registration booth
  
Looking down the front table of impressive models.
 
The pond at Union Station on Sunday morning. There are a few boats out sailing.

   
Some pleasure craft models ready to hit the water.
  
Generally speaking, it's hard to sail true sailboats at the Union Station pond because it's so enclosed with not much opportunity for good breezes. Nonetheless, here's a boat under sail.
 
Here's another shot of the sailboat, rounding the lighthouse.

   
The Admirals Boat Club makes its own Regatta trophies. Here are the top three trophies awaiting presentation.
  
This view shows all of the awards that were presented at the Regatta. There are nine classes with 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place awards, plus the three major awards.
 
This year for the first time we had school students construct model boats and have them on display at the Regatta. Commodore Jim hands special Certificates to school teacher Dave Ridenhower for his presenting to the students.

   
An example of the class trophies handed out at the Regatta. These trophies were constructed by club members, with the design planned by Secretary Ray Sepanski.
  
Setting up the Transmitter Impound area. Since members share radio frequencies, control of the radio transmitters is a vital function. Members Tom Echert and Norm Kalaskie are at work.
