New Moon Sound Bath Meditation

Queen City Model Yacht Club

A little bit about us: We love sailing and racing radio-controlled sailboats.   You are invited to come and watch or try your hand at sailing radio control model sailboats at Pineville Lake Park.  Please visit our website QueenCityMYC.com for more information.  Below are some of the particulars.

WHERE:  We sail at the Belle Johnston Community Center Pond:
1000 Johnston Dr. Pineville, NC 28134

WHEN: We race on most Wednesdays and Saturdays from 10:30AM to 12:30PM.    Occasionally we will host intra-club and/or regional Regattas at our site too.

WHAT:  We like to race Kyosho Seawind, Dragon Flite 95, and Soling’s. We open racing to more than one boat class due to lack of Seawind spare parts and new sailboats.

If you do not have a boat and would like to try your hand or see if this is something you would like to try, we have club boats available for you.

The Town of Pineville has been very helpful and gracious allowing our club to use Lake Park and even built a dock for us to launch the boats. It is a great place for these activities.

If you are interested in having some fun and making new friends contact us via our website: www.queencitymyc.com or by email at: [email protected] or stop by!

5 TIPS for a Safe Summer Workout

Pick the Right Time – Exercise in the morning or evening when temperatures are usually cooler.

Wear the Right Clothing – Loose, breathable clothing that prevents chafing will help keep your body cool.

Avoid Extreme Temperature Change – Don’t go right from the heat to a cold room. Take the time to properly cool down.

Slow Down – Extreme heat is not the time to go for your personal best. Don’t push yourself.
