This is the website for the Springbok Mariners Model Boat Club, based in Alfold, Surrey.

 

Springbok Model Boat Club is based at the Springbok Estate in Alfold, Surrey, which is a retirement complex for Merchant Navy seaman. Members have use of the lake in the grounds of the complex, together with use of the social club bar facilities on site.

The weekly sailing takes place on Friday mornings throughout the year, although members may use the lake at other times. Although the majority of members sail R/C yachts, electric power models are also sailed, but no fast electric or internal combustion engined models are allowed.

The club holds occasional races for 650mm maximum class yachts, such as RG65's and the like. Larger yachts can be sailed, but the water depth during summer months can be too shallow for IOM or larger yachts.

The club is affiliated to the UK Model Yachting Association and members have MYA insurance cover included in their subscriptions
