Each year for the past 22 years, the St. Louis Admirals have hosted an annual Regatta in the pond behind St. Louis Union Station in downtown St. Louis. This is one of the oldest and biggest model boat Regattas held in the country, with boat skippers coming from as far away as California and the East Coast to participate. Many times in excess of 100 boats of all varieties are on display and running in the ponds.

Each Regatta participant receives an attendance plaque and is eligible to have his or her boat judged in the nine classes of craft. Trophies are awarded to the winners at the close of the Regatta. Some outstanding examples of museum quality boats can be seen. But more importantly, these boats operate so spectators get to view all sorts of boats sailing the waters. It's a great weekend of fun for all to enjoy.

   2010 Annual Regatta

Saturday and Sunday, September 18th and 19th

The St. Louis Admirals are proud to announce their 22nd Annual Regatta at St. Louis Union Station Lake. This event is open to the public and anyone interested in model boating at no charge. The only cost is to enter a boat in competition at the show. As usual, we are inviting electric and sail (sorry, no gas-powered boats or steamboats due to Union Station regulations) to join in the fun. We will have trophies to be awarded in nine classes plus Best of Show, Skippers Choice, and the Union Station Award. Each boat must qualify as a fully operational R/C Model as determined by club officials.

Please be sure your correct frequency is marked on your transmitter and that you have attached a nametag with phone number. Boats that won 1st place in their class, Best of Show or Skippers choice last year cannot be judged this year. The awards are for amateur builders, not professional builders. All such decisions will be made by Club Officials.
