WEED 6 of us sailed RA's today (1-7-09) in light airs with
minor difficulty with weed, the weed had grown some more with the hot weather and it would
therefore not be possible to sail IOM's or RM's. So until futher notice we are restricted to RA's.
Whatever the weather/wind conditions we propose to do some more weed cutting and raking out as well as sailing this Sunday 5-7-09, so please come if you can and bring a grassrake or garden rake with you - the more weed we get rid of now, the sooner we can resume normal sailing. Picture shows Gordon Beddall, Colin Trower, and Mike Connell preparing to use the chain scythe on the Rick Pond weed, 1-7-09.
Congratulations to our club member Dave Andrews for winning today, round 4 of the M & S District IOM Championship, and being the overall winner of the series to become 2009 District IOM Champion. Congratulations also to club member Colin Trower who came second in the SW district IOM Championship(3).
The MYA IOM Veterans Championship originally scheduled at Birkenhead MYC will now be held at Broads MYC on the same dates July 18-19th.

Thanks to
club member David Bell, we have been able to add a Club history page to this website.
Hampton Court Model Yacht Club was formed in 1996 from an amalgamation of two very much older clubs, the Yachting Monthly 6 Metre Owners Association, and the South London Model Yacht Club. Our Club is affiliated to the MYA and is situated in Home Park, Hampton Court. See History.
We sail on the Rick pond and we have a club house and car park close to the lake. For radio sailing we race RM's, IOM's, and RA yachts, and have a very full programme for all 3 classes. We also have a developing Vane sailing group. We meet on Wednesdays and Sundays. Club racing starts at 11.00 on Wednesdays, 10.30 on Sundays. See our Sailing Prog. Come along to any of our meetings and talk to us. Someone will let you have a go and we know you will love model yacht racing!
