MPBA For You

The Model Power Boat Association (MPBA) exists to promote all forms of model boating in the United Kingdom.

The MPBA has, as a principle objective, the aim of encouraging all aspects of model boating and in particular powered models. To that end, it provides a competition structure leading to National Championships in all the sectional disciplines supported.

These sectional interests are:

Scale models - both electric and steam driven
Multi models - i.c. powered racing craft
Hydro models - tethered i.c. and steam models
Fast Electric models - r/c controlled electric racing craft
Circuit Racing models - r/c controlled i.c. models
Straight Running models - any powered craft for straight running competition

The MPBA supports domestic clubs arranging competitions for the above interests and assists individuals wishing to compete in World Championship events.

The MPBA provides third party insurance for paid-up members and endeavours to ensure that safety for competitors, officials and the general public is paramount at all times.

The MPBA is keen to support public display events and demonstrate to the general public the various facets of model boating.

A Yearbook and a half yearly newsletter help to keep members informed of forthcoming events. The MPBA is a member of the United Kingdom Radio Controlled Committee (UKRCC) and endeavours to ensure model-makers interests are always properly considered.
