The Woodspring Model Sailing Club was formed in 1974 to promote the building and sailing of radio controlled model boats. The club provides a friendly atmosphere in which to enjoy the hobby and we always welcome new members.
Our sailing water is a pretty public lake at the Portishead Lake Grounds in North Somerset. The lake has a paved path all around and a single island. There is plenty of free parking and other facilities nearby. To get there by SatNav enter BS20 7HU. I have also attached a map to this post.
Sailing takes place on most Sunday mornings from about 10.00 am. The club is affiliated to the Model Yachting Association and we regularly host National and District Championships. There is a very active model yacht racing section of the club, mainly with the International One Metre and Radio 'A' class boats. We also support the smaller Victoria, Dragon Force and RG 65 classes. The club also has a section involved with scale modelling covering a range of sailing, steam and electric powered scale models. We currently support two local exhibitions each year as well.
