Club details  Fleetwood MYPBC

The club house is located on the main promenade in Fleetwood Lancs There are two lakes, one for model yachting, the other boating and sail training. We have our own club house at the side of the Model Yachting with plenty of parking area. The lakes and surrounding area are owned and maintained by Wyre Borough Council who are always very helpful to the club. .

The Fleetwood Model Yacht & Power Boat Club was formed in 1929 and the lake, as we know it today, was officially opened  in 1932.   In the same year the club held its first National Championship for 6 Metre model Yachts.

In the following year, 1933, the British Open A Class Championship was held for the first time at Fleetwood. Since that time Fleetwood has held many major National and International Championships for many classes of boats. We have a racing section for model yachts  rules and a thriving Scale section. This section is active in all aspects of scale and semi-scale, both yachting and power.

Over the years there have been constant improvements to the clubhouse and the lake facilities and it is now one of the finest clubhouses in the country.  

We welcome all those who are interested in this sport and hobby, Further details of the club and its activities, membership etc can be found by browsing this web site
