Record breakers! Smiles all round from members of the Lowestoft Model Boat Club who returned in triumph after setting new endurance records with their radio-controlled craft during a world distance attempt at Stevenage, which was organised on behalf of the RNLI. In the course of winning two classes they also set a world record and raised £300 from sponsors for the Lowestoft lifeboat appeal fund.
