The club evolved from a group of model yachtsmen who sailed their boats on a piece of water near the shore known locally as ‘The Navvied Pond.
The Fleetwood Model Yacht & Power Boat Club was formed in 1930 and the lake, as we know it today, was officially opened by Earl Bettie of “Jutland” fame in 1932, at which time we had 100 members and a nice wooden clubhouse in which members could store their boats.

In the same year the club held its first National Championship for ‘6 Metre model Yachts. In the following year, 1933, the British Open A Class Championship was held for the first time at Fleetwood. Since that time Fleetwood as held many major National and International Championships for many classes of boats.
