The first of the IC events
to be held at Mote Park this year by the Cygnets Model Boat club, we were
making the most while the water was closed to the fishermen
Although Hydros are not normally allowed on the
lake they are allowed with the permission of the Cygnets MBC Committee or
organised events. These boats travel at very fast speeds and are very
difficult to manoeuvre and hence the reason for the restrictions on the
lake. There are catchment strings laid out on the perimeter of the
course just in case they stray.
How to launch a Hydro and take a hair wash at
the same time. These boats were extremely fast
Although I was only there for a short period of
time due to the fact that the boats are very highly tuned they are not as
reliable as some of the other boats shown on this website. When I get
some details of who the boats belong to I will update this page, if any of
the pictures show your boat please drop me a line, see below.
