Annual Regatta

New Location in 2011

Breaking with tradition this year, the 23rd Annual Regatta of the St Louis Admirals will take place in a new location and at a slightly different time than in the past.

 

 

OCTOBER 1-2, 2011
at
The Boat House in Forest Park

For those from out of town who may not be familiar with this location, it is just west of downtown St Louis in the area that was once the site for the 1904 St Louis World’s Fair.  The Club has sailed boats in the lagoon area at the Boat House several times last year, and found it to be an excellent location for the Regatta.

The Forest Park area includes the sites of the Art Museum, the St Louis Zoo, History Museum, Muny Opera, and the Science Center.  In addition to the Boat House restaurant itself, there are many nearby motels, restaurants, and facilities that are close to the park.


Regatta Details

This event is open to the public and anyone interested in model boating at no charge.  The only cost is to register a boat for display and for competition at the show.  As usual, we are inviting electric and sail (sorry, no gas powered or live steam boats) to join in the fun.  Trophies described below will be awarded.  Each boat must qualify as a fully operational R/C Model as determined by club officials.

The Regatta is being sponsored by the Boat House at Forest Park. 
We are most grateful!

Registration starts at 0900 hours (9:00 a.m.) until noon Saturday, October 1.  The fun will begin at 10:00 a.m., last all day and evening until 2100 hours (9:00 p.m.) on Saturday.  On Sunday, October 2, we start at 0900 hours (9:00a.m.) until 1300 hours (1:00 p.m.).  Awards will be presented at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday.
