NAVIGA
The NAVIGA is an international umbrella organization in the field of ship model sport . It is a non-governmental organization under the umbrella of various national associations in the field of ship model sports. It is used to organize competitions on an international level and publishes rules for these competitions.
The club is divided into different sections, within which competition classes are defined and competitions are held:
- Section for prototypical standing models (C)
- Section for model racing boats (FSR)
- Section for motor models (M)
- Remote-controlled sailing yacht section (S)
- Section for prototypical driving models (NS)
- Section for motor models without remote control (A / B)
Due to the restriction to model sport, this association does not achieve the importance of other international associations in the field of model sport ( Fédération Aéronautique Internationale ).
