The West Florida Model Boat Club is a new organization based in Land O' Lakes, FL. Our nickname is Aquamaniacs . We welcome all forms of quiet model boating including fast electrics racing, sailing, and scale. Nitro and gas powered models are not allowed at our lakes due to noise restrictions. There are two great clubs in the area for those boats. You can find links to them in our Links section. We hope to soon have two lakes in our region. In the north, we are not having good luck finding a lake to run on. If you know someone who has a private lake that would allow our activity, PLEASE CONTACT US! The southern site is located at Akerman Park in Sarasota, FL on Fruitville Rd justEast of I-75 exit 210. Our current Sarasota lake is open only to bonafied club members on Sundays for practice activities, scheduled meets, or just general fun model boating. When we have two lakes, we will have monthly events that feature fast electric racing, sailing regattas and scale boating. For times when the lakes are restricted to certain activities, please refer to our "schedule". This also includes the events. The Aquamaniacs is a registered club with the North American Model Boating Association, NAMBA. Membership in NAMBA is a prerequisite for belonging to the Aquamaniacs as it provides liability insurance, sets safety rules and guidelines, and affords the opportunity to set speed records. The property owners of our lakes also require that everyone using their facility to be a paid up and bonafied member of both NAMBA and the Aquamaniacs. The West Florida Model Boat Club is also a Florida non-profit corporation. At the current time, our monthly meetings are held on the third Sunday of each month at Akerman Park, Fruitville Road, Sarasota, FL. We conduct a SHORT business meeting while the rest of the day is devoted to running boats! VISITORS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME!! WE ARE KID AND FAMILY FRIENDLY! |
