The Model Boat Convention Website Advance Warning..

Like the Convention when at the old location our website has out grown the original package, as such we will be undertaking to move this to a new server

which of course will be a seamless transition !!. This should take place in the next few weeks once I have plucked up the courage to move it after a bit more further testing..

See you on the flip side..

Hi
Only three weeks to the big event of the year we have twenty seven clubs, six individuals and twenty two traders attending. For the first time in this country we have a Russian club exhibiting. They are called The Federation of Ship Modelling Sport of Russia Section C Static models. Have a look on our website the show cases alone are something out of this world. The traders cover the whole range of what you need to build and more.

Be careful around the chandlery, they seem very good at making your wallet empty

Over this Model Boat Convention weekend there is also a once a year event being held not too far from this show it's the IOM Nationals at Fleetwood we have 84 entries from all over the the World including our World Champion Peter Stollery. Amongst others there will be Sailsetc's Graham Bantock and Housemartin Sails Martin Roberts plus BG Sails Brad Gibson current UK and World Champion Marblehead sailor.
If you get some spare time after the show pop to the Fleetwood lake and get amongst the skippers and look at all the current boat designs and some of the best racing in the World.
The week prior to this is Vane sailing if you have never seen this done it's a skill to be appreciated how the skippers trim the sails and set the vane to free sail against other boats down the lake
