The leaders of the fleet of DF 95 racing at Chipstead SC Model Yachts

Dragonflite 95 (DF 95)

The newest class of Model yacht to sail at Chipstead is the Dragon Flite 95 DF95 which is 95cm in length, is a fast, easy to sail restricted one design model yacht to be raced as supplied by the builder which must comply with the restricted class rules. It is sailed at many clubs in the UK and all around the world.

The cost of this model encourages starters to get involved in the sport of model yacht racing as the purchase kit includes all that is necessary to be on the water for less than £300---and be competitive very quickly. This yacht has 4 rig sizes to suit the wind strength. Certificates and sail numbers are obtainable from the DF Racing UK National Class Association at no cost.

 

Rules for the racing of this yacht are the same as for all classes. Copies of these rules can be obtained from the MYA or from the club.

It was introduced to the club about a year ago and now has a fleet of 19 boats which sail every Monday morning at 10.00am. and on Fridays which is an open day for all classes.
