St. Patrick’s Day Weekend, March 14 - 16

Plan now to attend our big St. Patrick’s Day celebration, the weekend of March 14-16!

The good times start on Friday night with a Karaoke Party with Regis to get you in the partying mood. Come on down and sing some Irish ditties or any other song that comes to mind. Get there early because these nights fill up fast.

On Saturday night, we are lucky enough to have Dj Glenn Mitchell. He will make his big return to the Lakeside Restaurant just in time for our huge St. Patrick’s Day dance.

RC Yacht Club Regatta - March 16

The Cypress Cove Remote Control Yacht Club would like to invite each and every one of you to our 7th Annual Regatta on March 16th. The Regatta takes place every March and is one of the biggest events in the Cove’s busy social schedule. It starts early in the morning with the powerboat events, including balloon boat challenges and power boat racing on our grand prix race circuit. After a tasty lunch of hotdogs and hamburgers, the remote control sailing ships take to the water. There are a number of run off races and then the best of the best sail for the coveted prize of “Captain of the Year”.

The Regatta is an all-day event with food and drink; a raffle with many great items, a 50-50 draw and an announcer to keep the large audience informed and entertained. To top off the day, awards and trophies are presented at the evening banquet. 

We have been sailing our graceful one meter solings on Brown Lake for 6 ½ years. Our solings are sloop rigged radio controlled yachts. There are no motors; they are driven only by wind power. The skipper can aDJust the trim of the sails and the angle of the rudder. The rest is skill and luck. The club has grown to over 60 members with 33 solings, power boats and of course the very popular balloon boats.

By the way, this is a family activity with both women and men captains.
