PARKING at the Rick pond. Laurie Bower writes:- "Recently, there has been an increase in the number of fishermen and non-members trying to park in our car park. I have spoken about this to Terry Gough (Head of Gardens & Estates, Historic Royal Palaces) who has advised me as follows:-
Unless we have been notified beforehand or the person(s) concerned exhibit written permission from the Palace, no-one, other than our members and visiting skippers/guests, are allowed to use our car park. Any such person should be so advised and, if they refuse to leave, they should be reported to the Palace Control Room (the telephone number is shown on our main noticeboard). Unattended cars/vans found in the car park that, after careful investigation, cannot be identified as belonging to members or other persons connected to the Club should also be reported to the Palace Control Room."

Lithium Polymer
batteries Some skippers are
now using Lithium Polymer batteries. The present technology of these while giving a weight
advantage, has a possible fire hazard to our club buildings. Consequently the Club
Committee has decided that these batteries must not be charged on club premises. See Club notice
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!
