Facilities

The lake frontage has recently been upgraded with new retaining walls.

Support

Our Vice President and resident shipwright Joe Zaragoza and James Dawes have a stall each Sunday where members can arrange repairs or modifications, purchase new radio gear or parts, or even purchase a new or second-hand model. Joe also runs a BBQ for members at the end of the month.

Woollen pullovers have also been added to our stock.

Activities

The members of WHMBC are an active lot, travelling to other clubs on Regatta days and Boat Shows.  On most Sundays there will be between 20 and 40 boats on the lake.

Membership is only $10.00 per year for Seniors
