Приєднався 6 лис 2023
The Club was founded in 1980 and has developed into one of the largest clubs in the South of England. It is a friendly Club that encourages members to build and enjoy all sorts of model boats. We have active sections for Fast Electric, Scale models, Tug Towing and Yachting (model yacht racing).
Our Club activities take place at the Hi5 Activity Centre, Reading Lake, Pingewood near Reading. If you are interested in joining us give us a call or turn up at one of our club events. No experience is required and if you wish you can have a go with a boat and see how you like it! You will find contact details and directions to Hi5 at www.mtmbc.club/

Ahh 2019…. The last year before it all went to shit
Not a fan of the (inappropriate) music overlay, much prefer ambient noise and/or the sound of electric motors.
I am currently scratch building a 70cm long RC patrol boat. I am enjoying seeing the variety of model boats that you feature here.
nice variety of craft . Full sized fast boaters have no respect !!! very envious of your lake , we haven't sailed ( Pembrokeshire .) since before covid . can I spot a couple of Mobile Marine Models Ultratugs there ??
Hi - Yes we have a number of Mobile Marine Models tugs including 2 unique models with twin Azipod drives front and rear and 1 with a carousel tow hook. Thanks for the interest we hope you enjoy the channel.
There are two Mobile Marine models Portgarth and the Ultra tug is a Ship Docking Module SDM it is another MMS hull ideal for mounting submerged drives Azimuth type one at each end it has taken us a long time to master their use eventually they were restricted to turn 180 deg, instead of 360 deg. that was a breakthrough as became easier to possible to work out which way the drive was pointing. The lake's principal use is for water skiing and wakeboarding a strange choice to share with model boats but the model boat club has been made very welcome, the skiing boats turn early when we are on-site to minimize large waves. Do go out sailing it is a chance to put the world to rights and put a boat in the water, very therapeutic!
Please note that to start with there is a low definition copy, and HD will come later
good sharing
Great video! 👍Perfect camera work, a very nice RC Ship, Waves and a great location! 👏 🙏👏
