The Greater Worcester Model Yacht Club's Mission Statement clearly welcomes all model boats. However, most of our member sail the: DF95, DF65, Soling, CR914, US12 Meter and EC12 Meter. In past years, we have generally sailed on Monday afternoons, however, we are currently surveying our Membership to see whether another day might be more convenient as a group. In any case, all members are welcome to sail any time or day throughout the week at our new venue on Indian Lake (see "Location" above).
