Fishers Green Sailing Club

The Model Boat Section members are full members of the Fishers Green Sailing Club and so have full use of the club facilities including the clubhouse. Model boats can be operated anywhere, provided they don’t impinge on the full size sailors. In practice this means operating on the area by our ‘mini clubhouse’ and landing stages. The water is not suitable for wading but there is a rescue boat and life jackets provided on the dedicated model boating area. There are 2 jetties and a slipway in the launching. Launching straps or frames are recommended for larger boats. Parking is next to the sailing area, and there are tables available for setting up the boats before launch. Normal model boat sailing times are 9.30am to 2pm on Sundays. The club is also open on Saturdays, and Wednesday evenings in the summer. The only requirement is that two model boating members are present, for safety reasons, to sail their models. We like to operate all the year round, so there is no closed season in the winter – and have even been known to break the ice to operate the models. Or indeed use our models to break the ice.
