Telford model boat club is an established and well
respected club, catering for all types of models that
float.
The club was first known as the Telford New Town Model Boat club, using the town park lake in Telford. The club gained access to it's present water at Priorslee Lake, off Teece Drive, Telford. Close proximity to junction 4 on the M54 gives easy access to all members and any interested members of the public.
The club holds several regattas during the year, covering many of the members interests. The main area that many club members take part in, is hydro racing. This has it's origin in the USA and is a very fast form of model boat racing. The range of boat types covered is large, as is the type of engine. Engines can be powered by both petrol and methanol based fuel. The power output is very high as is the RPM. Speeds of up to 80 mph are possible on a large lake such as Telford's water at Priorslee.
