Ever wondered about trim settings on your IOM RC Sailboat for hours just to realize there are 5 different answers and each has solid logic behind it? Well, we know exactly how you feel! Every level of advancement brings its own challenges and when you overcome more new doors of perception unlock for you. That is why we are not afraid to share this precious knowledge with all of you. Recently, we are being bombarded on a daily level by requests to teach you more about RC sailing set-up, tactics, tricks and secrets. It is impossible to share this many answers via email, so for all basic, advanced and more detailed explanations we decided to offer one major Masterclass to all of you willing to expand your knowledge base like never before!

Announcement summary & details

Basically, this announcement will start to pick up entries for all of you willing to come to beautiful Split, centre od Dalmatia region famous as touristic heaven of Mediterranean, the hearth of antic Europe, amazing culture, brilliant food and, as you will find out soon, many sweet spots for RC Sailing! So, let us dive in with more detail on our first picked option which we trust will suit most of you. COVID-19 is almost gone in Croatia, but then again, we never actually had any big troubles with this unfortunate pandemic so there are no concerns about that in Croatia. Our country already opened borders and everything is working almost full so there are no indicators of any big issues ahead. We hope many other countries will follow us soon to finish all of this once and for all so that we can learn from it. May it never happen again.

We are planning to do the start Masterclass event this year (27. May 2021.  –  1. June 2021.) in our warm and sunny hometown Split, daily averages for that week are around 26°C or 79°F, pretty good, huh? Don’t forget that the sun makes it perfect for shorts, it will be pretty warm weather & sunny, a true Mediterranean climate for enjoyment, swimming in the Adriatic sea and soaking in plenty of vitamin D, ha! 🙂       Details as follow:

Become true RC Sailing Master with your mentor #35canfly – Zvonko Jelačić!

Now, that being said, please do not hesitate to send us your suggestions on dates and anything else to our project manager Barbara here: [email protected]com
She will put you all on the list and we will share future updates with you, but for now, it is important that we hear from all of you who are interested to come and share this amazing experience as we plan to do it in a big style which means lots of practice, guidance, personalized training, amazing hotel, place to store your IOM, great offers and deals from Sailboat RC, excursions, Split walkthrough, gifts for each participant and many more bonus perks…
P.S. some of you will be able to bring brand new “K2” back home if you arrive without your IOM here or maybe even rent one here (LIMITED OFFER)! 😉

#join_now! & #no_regrets

Share us your thoughts now as we will have only 14 days to confirmations and adjustments and then send out payment requests individually for all of those applied. The list will be updated from NOW and those who decide to opt-out later on when asked to confirm with payment will be replaced by the next following person on the list. So, two weeks for any arrangements you have to make for the final decision and we are starting to contact all persons from the list who paid up until that date (hotel requires reservations of rooms since Split is worldwide famous as true summer destination).
