hi all
just to let you all know theres some big plans ahead in bmprs weve the likely hood of new venues in the north and south due to clubs contactiing us about racing, along with our usual water around the midlands, why not come try your hand racing and also promote your club all our racers are featured in model boats mag thanks to scoop so you may even get a mention too !
with the new rules that were passed at our agm even more boats can be raced at our meeting so where before sigmas lynx and such like wern't race legal they are now ! our rules are quite simple "all submerged drive boats must have 2" freeboard" this is no longer a requirement for surface drive boats, if your not sure just ask one of our members as theyre more than happy to help with advice.

whats a free board :D

hi mike
freeboard is the side of the hull !
measured from the chine to the deck, or half way round the radius if the deck is chamfered
