Can someone please tell me where/when/time do the R/C sailboats sail? My husband and a friend have gone down there several times and no one was ever there. Thank you.

He currently serves as the commodore of The Villages R/C Model Sailboat Club. The club meets at Lake Mira Mar near the La Hacienda Regional Recreation Complex on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 10 a.m. For amusement, the gang sails out on the lake and competes in races.

I have sailed with this group and they are very welcoming. I found I'd rather play pickleball, so I have a great boat for sale. Messagr me for details and you can be on the water tomorrow.

I'm new to the villages and the time they sail conflicts with my other activities. I am selling my DF 95 with a bunch of accessories if anybody is interested.
