Sailing There have been some great sailing days at the Rick Pond over the last few weeks and, with the weed no longer a problem, if you have not been down you are definitely missing out! Wednesday 17 November was another lovely day with a light breeze and we had nine Marbleheads out for some good racing. See below for details of the current programme.

Racing
The weed has now gone, meaning that racing can continue to take place in line with the published programme.

​Racing is still in a single session, starting at 11.00 and finishing at 13.00 and if you are racing, please try and be ready for an 11.00 start - this has been drifting a bit recently.
 
Leen has set up a WhatsApp group for the club – HCMYC I2R – so that members can let each other know who is planning to sail on each day.  If you wish to join, send your mobile number to Leen: leen.buurman@icloud.com
 
Please remember that although most Covid restrictions have been relaxed, we should still maintain social distancing where practicable.  Please also continue to wear the HiVis vests when sailing.
 
Programme
Please see the 2021 Racing Programme page for the programme for the rest of the year. As of 1st May, all races will count towards the respective points series. 

​We are trialing additional sailing days each week on Tuesday and Thursday, when we will be sailing DF95s and IOMs respectively. This reflects the fact that the DF95 is the club's entry class and IOM is the most popular class in the club and this will allow more frequent sailing of the other classes on regular sailing days. The Thursday racing will be split into 3 series, May-June, July-September and October-December. 

IOMs and DF95s will still be included in the sailing programme for Saturdays, Sundays and Wednesdays.

                THEN                      AND                      NOW
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.
