Last weekend saw lots of DF65 racing at both Fleetwood and Lincoln with nearly 40 skippers taking part over the weekend. There are reports on the Results page but here’s a photobomb from your author who raced for the first time in nearly 4 months!

Don’t forget folks that there are two days worth of DF65 racing happening this coming weekend.

Saturday sees the Fleetwood club hosting an open meeting which will looks like being well supported by the local fleet which is growing in strength, there will be some visitors too from Yorkshire and North Wales, so if you are in the area make sure that your boat is in the back of the car.

Pre entry is preferred with name, club and sail number to ken.crabtree@btinternet.com

Then Sunday sees the Lincoln club holding a DF65 race meeting down on the Farm.  It will be part of their summer series and again will be well supported by the local fleet as well as having visitors from Yorkshire and North Wales. The club is easy to get to and is just off the main Lincoln ring road, has ample lakeside parking and great control areas.  Another venue that is well worth a visit if you’ve got a spare day.

Pre entry not essential but nice if you could name, sail number and club to v113simo@outlook.com

Remember that even if you haven’t raced your DF65 before you’ll be assured of a warm welcome at both of these events.
