Model Boat Club

Woodspring Model Sailing Club is a welcoming group of model yacht, boat and ship enthusiasts. The club was formed in 1974 to encourage the building and sailing of radio-controlled model watercraft. Home water for the club is the Portishead boating lake, filled from a freshwater spring and from the high spring tides, giving a brackish water. The lake supports a wide variety of wildlife, so the club prohibits thew use of boats powered by internal combustion engines.

Club night is Thursday during the summer months, until the beginning of October. Informal meetings take place during the winter months.
