Just to confirm from me as WPMBC Liaison
For this event (Mayhem) we are allowed to use I/C powered boats as like Andy says it’s covered by the Risk Assessment. Only the members in Andy’s team are going to be running the boats and are inspected by Andy before each demo. There will be plenty of warning time to remove boats from the lake before the demo. These demos will only last 20 minutes maximum so everyone can go back to using the lake asap.
As a club (WPMBC) we don’t use I/c normally as the lake is not large enough for the racing boats to be operated at full speed. Hence why the I/C boats being used by Andy and his team will be going around the lake at much reduced speeds to show the different types of I/C boat.
Please do enjoy this as the Mayhem is a multi discipline group and we are only sharing the other types of model boats that are available. After all we have yachts, scale, steam, straight-runners, submarines too and to miss out on one of the types would be a shame.
As said before, please enjoy and relax, Andy will not accept any unsafe boat to be operated on the lake and plenty of warning to remove models from the lake will be given.
