What kind of project can you dream of for a remote control boat event?

Here are a few ideas to get you started:

• Schedule a competition for racing boats.
• Plan a sailing boat regatta.
• Sponsor a radio control boat show.
• Hold a water skiing event.
• Put on a boat parade.
• Take a moonlight cruise.
• Explore the underwater world.
• Build a busy city harbor.
• Create a small fishing community.

Racing boat competition gives you enough options to schedule a full weekend’s worth of RC fun.

Schedule high-speed races for a variety of powerboats. Lay out a stretch of water for them to race across, and see who among your friends have the fastest high-speed racing boats.

Position pylons or buoys, and hold slalom events for boats with the most maneuverability. See how quickly you can weave in and out of the obstacles on your course.

Design your sailing regatta event to allow for different classes of sailing vessels. You’ll want races for the usual speedy sailboats, but try pitting the sailing yachts against each other. See who has the best sailing skills.

Put all your boats on display in a boat show. Hold this on the water so visitors to your show can see your different RC boats in action.

Build a water skiing arena complete with ski ramps, and pylons for racing around.

Hold an aquatic parade. Decorate all your boats for a holiday celebration.

Go on a moonlight cruise. (Or relax on a dinner cruise.) Launch in your sailing yacht for a quiet get-a-way, or climb aboard the cabin cruiser for an ocean tour.

Take to the ocean depths in a remote control submarine. Maneuver through coral mounds, and discover strange aquatic creatures.

Put your tugboats, police boats, fire fighting boats, and ocean liners to work in a working city harbor. Design activities to simulate actual events and emergency situations on the water.

Construct a sleepy fishing village. Populate the bay with your fishing trawlers and pleasure boats.

To make your remote control boating event real you need water. The shape, and size, of that water body depends on the type of event you’ll create.

Decide what type of water body you need, and how large it must be, then create a blueprint to build your radio control boat event area from.

How do you build your lake, river, harbor, bay, or body of ocean?

Power up your RC construction toys, and put them to work.
