Team members are given control of Lady Amelia, an eight foot long, remote control replica of a mega yacht and are tasked with guiding her safely around the course; battling against the clock and other competitors.

Lady Amelia handles in a similar way to full-size vessels and is equipped with a rudder, individual throttle and bow thruster controls. Berth Control was borne from the idea of using a real-life simulator to better understand the vagaries of yacht handling - testing crew's ability to handle large yachts without risking any paint work in the process.

We throw this fun event to give competitors a chance to prove their skills, safely bringing the mini mega-yacht through tricky maneuvers in an obstacle course. It's also a great opportunity to network with crew as well as industry experts.

We award prizes to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place teams! Join us and your first drink is free!
