The Australian Battle GroupChaos Reigns.To the North two dreadnoughts pound each other side by side as a merchant slips by behind. Only one of the dreadnoughts and possibly neither will be going home as they both send rounds flying through the other’s armour and water pours in the gaping wounds. To the East, unnoticed, a single battleship sits in a choke point ambushing and sinking each enemy merchant that tries to get past. The merchant’s cries for help unheard in the din. To the West a cruiser races to intercept another convoy, forcing the ships into wild evasive action and slowing them down so a lumbering battleship can catch up and bring its heavy guns to bear...

There are opportunities for competition sailing, fun sailing or if preferred, static display. Our fleet is as varied as the membership, ranging from tugs, yachts, lifeboats, submarines and amphibious craft to a floating harbour.
Solent Radio Controlled Model Boat Club
The club has its sailing waters at Setley Pond (click for directions) located in the New Forest close to Lymington, Christchurch and Brockenhurst.
It was founded in 1978, initially as a Yacht Sailing Club racing International RM and 1m Class, National R Class and 6m yachts affiliated to the MYA. The Scale Section was founded later and is affiliated to the South West Association of Model Boat Clubs.
The Yachting Section meets at the lake on Tuesday and Friday Mornings at 10 am and the Scale Section on Thursday and Sunday mornings at 10 am, and a very friendly welcome is extended to all visitors - there are also regular visits from New Forest ponies and cattle that come to drink at the pond. The pond is co-located with a Picnic Area and model boaters can park directly adjacent to the pond. Unfortunately fast electric racing boats or IC boats are not allowed by the Forestry Commission Regulations.
Southern Model Lifeboat Society
Welcome aboard the Southern Model Lifeboat Society. The Society was formed to promote the building of model Lifeboats and rescue craft and to display them to raise money for the RNLI and projects related to the Lifeboat service. The Society members cover all the expences of the Society so every penny collected is used for the Lifeboat service
The Society was formed in 1988 by Tony Olliff getting together a few like minded people to spend some of their spare time ( when not building models ) to displaying their efforts to raise money for RNLI projects. Money was collected to go towards a new Tyne class Lifeboat for Shoreham in 1992 we managed £825.00 for that appeal. Other new Lifeboats appeals we supported were Eastbourne new Mersey class £750.00, Swanage new Mersey class and over £1000.00 for a 'D' class boat which modellers from all over the country managed to pay for outright. We have also funded many other items of equipment for Lifeboat stations along the south coast and to send money to our area office to help appeals for general Lifeboat use.
Our members are interested in all fields of Model Boating - Scale, Speed Boats, Submarines, Yachts, and Live Steam.

Hull Model Boat Group
We are not a model boat club but enjoy modelling and sailing at our local park where Modeller's and visitors to the boating Pond are growing rapidly as you will see by the amount of photo's of models on these pages.
A good thing about free-sailing we see different faces each week.
The group was formed in 2000 to encourage and promote the hobby of marine modelling in all it's guizes.
We will hopefully provide a brief insight into the Hull Model Boat Group, it's members and the charitable events
we have attended over the years. Many of the groups members are either disabled or retired and this is
perhaps reflected in the extremely high standard of the models that they produce.
Members vary in age from 12 to 80 yrs and everyone is made to feel very welcome. The informal structure of the
Group is it's undoubted attraction and continued success. There are no rules, regulations or formal meetings to
contend with. Like minded modellers have grouped together utilizing basis common sense, fairplay and a willingness
to help and encourage others into this most rewarding hobby.
The Model Fire Boat Website!
This website has been created to help other model boaters with their own boats. Fireboats are starting to become much of a collectors item, particularly the older Aerokit Crash Tender Model 36" and 48".
This site will also help out with much more than model fireboats and over time it has been developed to provide users with all sorts of information such as electronics, radio control troubleshooting and even includes a message board where anyone can post their queries. Why not get you're boat included in the Picture or Video Gallery! More recently Boat Building Blogs have been implemented where anyone can write about their builds and have it shown online for free!
For anything to do with fireboats, this site has it all. Although fairly new, there has already been a lot of input by its members.
