Great model boating in a splendid setting
Boats built and sailed by members of Etherow Model Boat Club are a popular feature of one of England's oldest Country Parks.
Nestling in the foothills of the Pennines, the park is so attractive that an estimated quarter of a million people a year visit and many of them linger by our lake to admire our craft.
The lake we sail gives plenty of space for Fiesta yachts , fast electric racers, scale warships and other vessels, with even he odd submarine popping up.
While the rest of the world may be filled with pressures and concerns, our hobby allows us to enjoy the location, watch our boats in action and chat with other people curious about the construction, workings or history of them.
The first is on Saturday June 6th and will feature an opening parade, Club 500 racing, steam-driven boats, and a steering competition for the Cyril Driver Trophy.
The second is on Saturday September 5th and a special event for that will be the Commodore's Challenge which calls on members to design and build unusual craft according to a his instructions. Last year the boats had to be clearly made from household refuse and they were fine looking!
If you fancy joining us or are interested in when you might see a particular sort of sailing, please browse this site.
