The use of 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 about this

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.

Thanks to club member David Bell, we have a Club history page

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, MM's and RA yachts, and have a very full programme for all 4 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!

PARKING at the Rick pond is for HCMYC members and invited guest sailors only. The Head of Gardens & Estates, Historic Royal Palaces) advises us to point out to members "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."
