Birmingham Model Yacht Club

BMYC is a club run by members for members, who wish to competitively race, Radio Controlled Model Yachts in a friendly atmosphere. We extend a warm welcome to visitors and potential new members to sail with us. The sailing water is deep, weed free and overlooked by the heated clubhouse. This is well equipped with all the usual facilities, tea/coffee is served during breaks in our racing.
A training programme is available for all club members and individual coaching and advice is in place for those new to Radio Controlled racing.

The Yacht classes that are catered for are:
IOM International One Metre, DF 95 Dragon Flite 95, RG 65 RG65, DF 65 Dragon Force 65, MM Micro Magic & Footy Footy. The size of the pool makes it unsuitable for non Radio Controlled yachts (i.e. Vane Type). R/C power boats are not allowed.
Members who wish to sail any class of R/C yacht, without entering the race may do so, by sailing clear of designated race course.

Winter Season: Tuesdays and Thursdays; Sailing starts at 13.30; 6 Races.
