      The Club History

      The story takes us from one man in the late 1940’s through years of informal gatherings and with a few like minded boaters happy times sailing at Rowntree Park. To a club with many members, finally becoming associated on a formal basis in 1999 when it became the “York Model Boat Club”. Discover the full details in this article written by the man who started it all.
