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.
