Dry Pants Model Yacht Club

Come Sail With Us!

About Dry Pants Model Yacht CLub

We are a group who enjoy racing model sailing yachts and the fellowship of those interested in the sport. We are a recognized fleet by the American Model Yacht Association.

CR-914 and Dragon Flite 95 are the primary boats we sail. We also have our social side with a picnic and winter get togethers. The DPMYC is a very active organization with an average of 10-20 boats racing on Sunday and Wednesday mornings. Major regattas draw attendance in excess of 20 boats from around the nation. We welcome all visitors and members to browse through the website and those interested in the sport to contact us through the website.
