When do we sail?
We typically meet from March to October on every 1st Saturday and 3rd Sunday of the Month from around 9am to about 4pm. However, at times a change is necessary due to weather, or events, so always check the calendar on this site for the next sail!
What boats do we sail?
Anything that doesn't have a gasoline engine. We have RC sailboats, electric RC scale boats of all kinds, steam driven boats, electric racing boats, and also a steam-driven racing boat. Come and bring what you have!
Where do we sail?
We are sponsored by the Village of South Orange Department of Recreation & Cultural Affairs and are grateful for their support of our interests.
We typically sail at the Meadowbrook Duck Pond in South Orange, NJ. However, exceptions apply, so always check the calendar of events.
Where can I park?
When there is no other event, you can park at the South Orange Middle school (enter from North Ridgewood road). There is also street parking along Mead street and Meadowbrook lane.
How do I get my boat to the pond?
Starting in 2026, we can drive up to the pond to drop our boats off again. On Mead St. make the right hand turn before the bridge ( left hand if coming from the other direction, after the bridge) into the park. Be careful of the bollard in the middle of the walkway! You’ll usually see us set up under the trees to the left of the Skate House.
We like to keep to a 10-10-10 policy. Less than10 mph in the park driving up to the pond, 10 mins to drop your stuff and 10 mins to pick it up.
What should I bring?
Your boats! A folding table and chair is useful. Some sun protection. Lunch if you want (there are multiple choices for food in town ~5-7 minutes walk away). Anything else you can think of that you need for RC boating!
ARE THERE BATHROOMS? Yes, In the Skate House are men’s and women’s bathrooms. One of the Club officers will have the key each sail to unlock the doors. We ask that if you are using the bathroom, please keep it clean.
