2024 RC Laser MBC/RYC Winter Series Results

Our combined MBC/RYC (Raritan Yacht Club) Radio Controlled Laser Series has officially concluded after 101 races sailed by over 20 different skippers. Ten skippers sailed over 50% of the races to qualify for the season that used a high point scoring system. MBC skippers taking the top 4 spots - Frank Scalisi (85%), Dan Vought (76%), Paul Scalisi (67%) and new member Kevin LeCompte (61%). Congratulations to all the sailors on a successful season.

This was the first year we sailed at both RYC and MBC and the option of the two clubs helped us to only miss one week of sailing. It also got us steady weekly numbers of participants with most weeks having more than 10 boats on the line.
