New York Yacht Club Model Room
Welcome to the Minuteman Model Yacht Club Trophy Room.
The club’s members choose to acknowledge and honor all those who have participated successfully in many RC sailing events over its long history.
Please explore each of the connected pages to learn more about the boats we sail, the club’s leaders, National Champions, and our AMYA Hall of Fame members.
Ice Breaker
The Ice Breaker is traditionally the first racing event each year for Minuteman Model Yacht Club. It is an open event to all, but it awards its perpetual trophy to the winner of a designated class of boat.
THE ENDURO
The Enduro is our traditional end of the season regatta. At the end of the day, the skipper on the water with the largest number of laps wins. All classes of boats are welcomed.
The Commodores
The Commodore of a model yacht club is the CEO of the club. He or she is “the face” of the club in all its activities and its many relationships.
National Champions &

DF95
The DragonFlite 95 is a Restricted One Design boat that is meant to compete within a strict set of rules to ensure a true test of a skipper’s ability to tune their boat and race it well.
