Starter system. L&M RC Lasers are now the owners of a starter countdown system and a horn speaker that will destroy eardrums at 50 paces! Don't turn it up or the residents really would have something to complain about. Fred has kindly voluntered to install it into a box to protect it from the elements.

Lakeland Leisure Village

We have moved from Glasson to an excellent location with great facilities at the Lakeland Leisure Village. Driving north up the M6 past the Carnforth turning? Ever wondered about the huge, Geneva like fountain on the left hand side? Reminds you of the Champions? (if you are of a certain age). That's where we sail. Don't worry - you won't get wet! Series racing takes place most Sundays @ 11am. The lake shore is steep and shelves, therefore to launch your boat considerable care and wellies are essential to avoid wet feet.

For more info. see directions page on how to find us - come down and have a go.

Use the buttons (above) to navigate between pages.

Contact us at the Lake on race days or at: colin.jex@btinternet.com

A Forum is now available from the rclasers home page - please have a look - its a relatively simple signup

Parking

Please note that new parking arrangements are in place. We are asked not to use the main car park. Access is through the barrier then up to the north end of the lake. Please park right at the north end of the lake if possible. There is plenty of parking up here and it is only 50 metres from our launch point - NB please don't obstuct the road or park near any lodges. Careful - the road has some small potholes; drive carefully and slowly. IMPORTANT. The barrier will be closed 15 mins before the start of racing.

MYA membership. As you know we aren't a club (we're a loose association of individuals) so we don't charge membership at Lancaster & Morecamber RC Lasers but we would like everyone to have MYA membership. This gives you public liability insurance and if you haven't paid them you will be ineligible to race in TT events or open meetings. Well worth £6.00.

Whilst we try to make the information on this site as accurate as possible we offer no guarantee for the information provided and accept no responsibility for the information (or indeed for anything else!). The 'Committee'.

West Marine Coupon

We are a group of sailing/racing enthusiasts who like the cut an thrust at the start line and a tussle around a buoy. The RC Laser is a brilliant boat to do this. It requires little maintenance - boats bounce off each other in a collision, it is easy to sail but needs effort and concentration to win a competitive race. Whatever your skill level you will find competition and fun sailing with us. If you are new to model yacht racing see www.rclasers.com.

Above all it is inexpensive and easy to get on the water. New boats are only £325. Second hand boats can be found and hold their value well. Compare this with the thousands of pounds that can be paid in some model boat classes. Boats come ready to sail - no fiddling with complex system; add batteries and you're ready to go! At Lakeland Leisure Village there are a group of likeminded people who enjoy racing and having fun. Come and join us.

Not sure if it's the sport for you? Peterkin (main suppliers) have kindly loaned us a club boat that you can borrow. Want to have a go? Phone/email Colin or come to the Lake - NB to ensure the club boat is available please pre-book the boat. It has proved to be popular and is loaned on a first come, first served basis.

We are based in North Lancashire, nr Carnforth at a great location and easily accessable from the M6. Find out more about us by scrolling up the page and accessing the other pages on this website from the buttons on the left hand side.

Please note that we sail RC Lasers only and are unable to accommodate other classes. If you currently sail another class and want to try RC Laser racing please contact us to book the club boat. We think you will be pleasently surprised.
