Welcome to the VMYG website

This site is devoted to the history, restoration and sailing of Vintage Yachts of all types and ages. We also have an active interest in the toy boats that introduced so many of us to this pastime. The site will be edited regularly so come back and revisit us - new material is listed here

CHANGE OF VENUE NOTICE FOR 22/08/10 MEETING
Disappointingly we are unable to accept Poole's generous welcome this year because of continuing weed/algae problems at their lake.

Clapham our frequent host have however kindly offered their water to  VMYG as the alternative venue for 22 August 2010,

Our Sailing Day is busy allowing for both radio and free sailing of vintage yachts and toy boats as well as a vintage Marbleheads (free sailing) race,  starting at 12.30pm or as decreed by the OOD on the day.  Our day starts at around 10am.

 

 
Teaser No 5 - can you identity this yacht?
Answer to previous teasers here

There is a for sale/wanted section. The individual ads are not listed on the 'what's new' page so please check this section if you are looking to sell or buy vintage yachts or equipment. Advertisements from non-members are accepted at the VMYG's discretion.

If you are restoring an old boat you should find our how to do it and where to get it pages useful as we will list the hard to find specialist suppliers as well as those concerned with the normal business of model boat construction and sailing. If you have dealt with a good specialist supplier please let us know and we will see if we can add him to our links page.Do look around these pages, there is a search facility to help you find elusive articles.
