Sailing at Madrid (Spain)
As far as I know, there is not a model boat club at Madrid. However, modellers gather Sundays at 10:30 to sail at a pond -actually a set of four connected ponds-, located in a municipal park, in the south of the city. Access is free.
The boat in the video is a sidewheeler, scratch built by my good friend Eduardo Yraola, who is a far more accomplished modeller than I am. She has steam propulsion, and sails at a majestuous pace.

    I have to rectify. There is still an active modellers' club at Madrid: Club RC Naval de Madrid. Their webpage is.... not the best I've ever seen, so I will not link it. I will try to find out more next Sunday. The pond is supposed to be managed by the Club. I plan to go there with my friend Eduardo, to see his new submarine.

    Excellent choice Len, I really like it, too bad you're too far away.

    I wonder about this boat turning radius. Is there a speed differential to the paddle wheels, or is the turning all done by the rudder?
