The boat has fleets at nearly 150 clubs around the country. The clubs range from well-established AMYA clubs, full sized boat yacht clubs, school sailing teams to community association clubs. Within these clubs the boat is sailed from beginners to national champion skippers from many other classes.

An added benefit of the boat is the well-supplied and dedicated national distributor that provides excellent access to boats, parts and accessories allowed by the class rules.

Open - Developmental

This is where boats that don't fit in other classes register and track their growth on the way to full-fledged class status. It is also where innovation and experimentation are encouraged and permitted.
Any type of R/C sailing water craft other than those that meet existing active recognized class specifications are eligible to be registered in the Open Class. This includes "one off" scratch designed and scratch built boats, "COTS" (commercial off-the-shelf) boats that have not yet had a class formed for them, and previous boat classes that have been "de-sanctioned" because they fell below the 20 member minimum. If you have a kit built or RTS (ready to sail) that is not yet a member of a recognized AMYA class, then the Open Class welcomes you! Examples of these boats are the AquaCraft VELA, the Fortune 612 by Kyosho and the Stockmaritime 3X1.

The Open Class can be considered the ultimate "Developmental Class" because there are no restrictions on design, creativity, or innovation as long as it is a sail powered water craft.

The unrestricted number of hulls is what makes the Open Class stand out from the rest of the AMYA classes. Catamarans, Trimarans and Foilers are all welcomed in the Open Class!

US One Meter - Developmental

The U.S. One Meter is a small-sized development class yacht, with an appearance similar to the International One Metre yachts. This development class is restricted in overall length, sail area and several other minor measurements. The U.S. One Meter is surprisingly fast and seaworthy for its size. 39.37" long, 600 sq. inches of measured sail area with about 50 sq inches of "free area".
The One Meter yacht is lightweight, very fast and responsive to the controls making it a fun boat to sail, either as a pond boat or in competition.

An inexpensive two channel radio is all that is required for control of sails and rudder. The boat is easily disassembled and fits in a small size automobile for transporting to the pond or lake. The U.S. One Meter class is one of the least expensive classes for the new skipper just starting in the hobby of R.C. sailing due to its "build it yourself" nature, .

The U.S. One Meter Class is a developmental class, which means there are very few design restrictions. They include, overall hull length, keel depth and sail area (see class specification for the few remaining restrictions). The generally unrestrictive nature of the specifications, encourages one of a kind Home Built yachts. The hull can be self designed or built from available free plans. It is easily planked from wood, or can be made from wood forms covered with fiberglass, carbon fiber or Kevlar. The structure of the class specifications allows the designer/builder to experiment with a design, and then try it out on the water. It is a true "designers class".

Victoria  - One Design

Sanctioned in 1997. Low cost, ARS kit from Thunder Tiger modeled after the America's Cup yachts from the 1990's. 30.7" long, 433 sq in sail area, 4.5 lbs displacement.
The Victoria One Design is a simple, affordable, sailboat manufactured by the Thunder Tiger Model Company, and distributed world wide. The kit's low cost (about $150 for the kit, $250 to perhaps $400 ready to race), ease of assembly, and good sailing characteristics make it a great first yacht, while remaining fun to sail and race for old hands as well. It is easy to transport, fully rigged, in the smallest of cars. The emphasis of the Victoria is on SIMPLICITY and FUN, and to these ends check out the Victoria Class Information Center for the latest building, tuning, and sailing tips, along with other interesting and useful information about the boat.

The boat itself is made of ABS plastic, and is quite durable, capable of surviving virtually any mishap or collision. The kit also includes high quality aluminum spars, sails, and all necessary fittings. All you need to do is add a two-channel radio, two servos and you're ready to sail. Construction is generally a weekend project. The ease of assembly also makes the Victoria a great "club" boat, as new skippers can buy a boat and join the racing with a minimum of trouble and expense. Many clubs conduct "Silver Fleet" racing consisting of boats made entirely from all kit parts.
