A welcome from our chairman, Derek Cross.
As Chairman of the CMYC, one of the oldest model sailing clubs in the country, may I welcome you to our web site. In its pages I am sure you will find much of intrest, ranging from the Club history, to the types of boat we sail, how to build them, and how much they cost. The site will be regularly updated with news and information on coming events.

Hi everyone, the website looks really great. We really miss sailing at Clapham, especially after reading your stories and seeing the photos. You may have noticed that me and my two sons Hugo and Ollie had vanished without trace – we stopped sailing when the water level was so low last summer. Having fitted a full 1 metre keel to one of our yachts, it was impossible to sail. We also had a new mast and sails to try on the 1 metre we bought from Jack, but never go to try it. It was the same story with the latest K-bits arm winch – we were convinced with these goodies we would leave you all in our wake.
In October 2005 I was asked to go to work in Nigeria for 4 years, so we left at short notice without being able to say a proper goodbye. We are living in Warri which is on the edge of the swamps in the Niger delta. There is a big creek close to the house which might have been OK for RC yachts, except you are eaten alive by mosquitoes most of the time and the boys are convinced they saw a croc. – we also get snakes and monkeys in the garden. Anyway the yachts are in storage in England. With this website I will enjoy following your activities from deepest africa – keep it up.
Best Wishes,
Robert, Hugo & Ollie Inglis

Hello,
I’m involved in a Heritage project with children in Clapham, charting changes on Clapham Common since the 2nd W/War. Do you have any photos showing activities on the pond from 1948 onwards?
Many thanks, Suzanne Wood
