Furthermore, Gosport has a model yachting lake which has national and international events held there every year. Boats sailed there include the Vane A class, Vane 36, 1 meter, multihull, dragon force and laser. Model yachting used to be one of the most popular sports in Britain with people coming as far as New Zealand for races. Now it is one of only a few lakes in the world that still races vane steered boats, the more traditional kind without remote control or electricity, which purely relies on a steering device controlled by the wind.
