The Turbine from my Scale machine, flying here in its basic 'Pod and Boom' config. This was filmed and uploaded by a fellow club member..

Take a close, slow look at the detail and craftmanship created by Buxton Model Boat Club member Graham Royle.

The local Fox TV channel contacted us and told us they'd like to do a short feature on us.
The time allotted was short, but I think we did a nice job representing our hobby.
Hopefully this may create more interest in the local community!
Here are links to the 3 segments they aired:

"Just for fun" - we aim to share pics/clips from other clubs / activities.
Many thanks to Website "Webmasters" Graham and Rob at both our featured clubs - Links below.

Built by Buxton Model Boat Club member Adrian , he says :- "essentially the paddle boat is scratch built but uses some fittings and materials from a Disar "Vanguard" kit ".
Adrian used drawings of "Flying Scotsman" for inspiration, but is not a faithful reproduction, although "Old Trafford" is also quite similar .
This was the maiden voyage so plenty more work to be done on detail and ballast etc.as the boat still sits a bit low in the water.

Great weather, brilliant bacon butties, carrot cake to die for, oh and of course the boat sailing was brilliant, here’s some photos.

Believed to be from Revell Models , " INGA IV " is a model Ketch , owned and sailed here by Martin Ward of the Hayling Island Model Boat Club.

RCSailing is just for fun, no gain. Other than sharing photos and videos relating to Buxton Model Boat Club activities, from time to time its nice to "showcase" models from other clubs and members as seen here with the link between BMBC & HIMBC - all sharing the common interest in model boats and the "Model Boat Website".

On Saturday 3rd June 2023 the Buxton Model Boat Club supported the Rotary Club Charity Bazaar by holding a model boat display on the Fountain Lake in the Pavilion Gardens Buxton.

Perhaps not a true description with both boats being battery powered ! however - just for fun I thought it would be nice to showcase together, similar boats sailed at my own local model boat club and some of those sailed at the Hayling club - a sort of "Model Club Twinning".

On a visit to Hayling Island last year, I met and sailed members of the Hayling Island Model Boat Club at their local venue at Mill Rythe.
May this year provided me the opportunity for a return visit.
Many thanks again to all members for the hospitality shown.
Special thanks to Greg, Rob and Mike (the Swan Whisperer) !.

Adrian a fellow club member has been building this model for a few years and finally put it on the water on Monday.
