ABOUT US

  
 

Tony has been involved with model power boats for the past 33 years. R/C Power Boating then became a family hobby, one we have all thoroughly enjoyed for many years. Both Tony and Adrienne received official South African colours for R/C Power Boating and this gave them the opportunity to represent South Africa three times and then New Zealand at the NAVIGA World Championships.

As a family we have attended National and International events in South Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.  We have met some really wonderful people at these events and have formed good friendships. Our main objective at High Performance Models is that you have as much fun boating as we do. We have learnt  through the years that the best way to do this is by having brands that perform well so when the pressure to win is on, you can enjoy your race. 

  
 

THE R/C POWER BOATING HOBBY STARTED WAY BACK WHEN................

.......TONY WAS A TEENAGER

  He has been around to see vast changes in boat hull and engine design. 
 
     
 

Tony is an airline pilot ( which means that I do all the work ) but his excuse is that when he is away he uses his time to visit other model shops, suppliers and clubs around the world, making sure that we are up to date with performance technology and that our prices are comparable world wide.

 
     
 

Tony received South African Colours for his success in model power boating in 1996 and then went on to represent South Africa in the World Championships in 1996, 1998 & 2000

In 2000 both Tony and Adrienne represented South Africa in the World Champs held in Slovenia in 2000
 
     
 

At fifteen Adrienne became South Africa’s first Junior and Female to receive South African colours for Model Power Boat racing. She also still holds the New Zealand A class record   

 
 
     
 

Adrienne became quite a celebrity when she "beat all the men" and won the South African Nationals in 2000 and went on to represent South Africa in the world Champs as its first female.
 
 
   

In August 2001 we immigrated to New Zealand and were very happy to find a large number of very friendly fellow boaters.
