A couple of travel lodges. But I'm sure someone from the wicksteed club could find some b and b places locally or you could camp! That way you come to the bbq

Sorry if this has been asked before but are Petrol boats allowed on then lake at Wicksteed?

Martin (Admin) · « **Reply #21 on:** May 27, 2015, 09:19:29 pm »

Yes:

1. Phil or Bill need to give it the once over (for 'elf & safety) first.
2. It's not fast.
3. If it is a 'fast boat', slow "demo" runs are permitted under rule 1.

me3 · « **Reply #22 on:** May 27, 2015, 09:35:59 pm »

ah okay then - best leave my latest project at home then

Thanks

ian-mccaffrey · « **Reply #23 on:** May 27, 2015, 09:39:45 pm »

martin . i think maybe there should be a time slot for fast boats and only one or 2 on the water at a time following a course ... the point being . they are still model boats maybe 20 mins each day or something .....
maybe something to think about for the future ! ... personally id love to see some fast boats have a go at a course or something .. and i dont even like them lol

Hello.
Whats inside it ? If its petrol then a fail safe that cuts the HT off would be good. A fail safe to fully closed position check will always be carried out.
Having said all that there is next to no room on the lake with all the stuff on it so you just cannot open up any high speed boat this includes Fast lecy boats.
I did take my Makara Zen powerd boat out for a demo run on the lake but even me being a Ex OMRA / BMPRS racer found it hard work to keep it going.
Still it would be good to see your boat doing some SLOW runs during the weekend So YES why not.
