San Diego Argonauts Model Boat Pond
HI Ronald, loved your video and Gary always makes me smile, so for me a great start to the morning.
Personal comment on the yachts, they are best sailed as upright as possible, Gary's sail boats looked just right.
Several of the other yachts could have done with a smaller suite of sails and one or two skippers some reminders of how to go around the buoys!
I think no ill will was intended but many model boaters know where their models are, but necessarily, where they are going.
I am going to watch again!
Well done
Roy

The San Diego Model Yacht Pond (aka the “San Diego Model Boat Pond” or just “The Pond”) was originally built into the Mission Bay master plan in 1939 as a continuation of a long standing program with the City Schools of San Diego of building Model Boats and competing between schools on the pond. After the club was formed, club members continued to work with the city until the program was eventually dissolved; yet the Argonauts continued.
