BREAKING NEWS!
​​On Sunday 5th January 2020, HCMYC is hosting its annual IOM Open Charity Event to raise funds for the club’s chosen charity, Momentum, a local charity which provides help to children undergoing treatment for cancer. To date, the club has raised some £2700 from our annual Charity IOM events.
We would like to invite IOM sailors to come and join us to race and support this good cause.  We do not charge race entry fees, but instead invite all who attend, either as competitors, officials or spectators, to make a donation to the charity.
If you are unable to attend but would still like to help us support the charity, donations can be made by internet banking direct to the Club’s bank account (details available when asked for using the "contact us " page).
The club will be serving bacon butties before racing commences, hot soup at lunchtime and teas and coffees, the proceeds of which will also be donated to Momentum.
We look forward to welcoming as many of you as possible for a good day’s sailing and to support a very worthy cause.

About our chosen charity, “Momentum”
“Momentum” is a charity established in 2004 which aims to help children (up to the age of 17) undergoing treatment for cancer in Surrey and South West London. “Momentum” supports not only these children but the whole family; parents, siblings and grandparents. By establishing close links to the families they can identify ways to help that fit their specific needs. Support continues as long as the family needs it.

Following the discussion at the recent AGM, the Committee has organised the following training sessions for members.  Each session will be on a Saturday, start at 09.45 and finish in time for club racing to start at 11.00.
November 16th – DF 95 race tuning and first year review  – Colin Trower

Model yachting has taken place on the Rick Pond since 1897. Hampton Court Model Yacht Club is one of the largest and most active clubs in the UK. The Club has its own clubhouse and car park situated near to the Rick Pond. We host events at Local, District and National Levels and sail mainly radio controlled yachts but there is also a keen group sailing vane and vintage boats. We sail 5 different classes - the International One Metre (IOM), the Marblehead (M), the 10 Rater (10R) the A Class (A) and the Dragon Flite 95 (DF95). The Club has an enthusiastic membership and promotes friendly and competitive racing which takes place up to 3 times per week throughout the year. You can find us at the Rick Pond from about 10am on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
