As you’ll no doubt be aware the DFICA has conducted some consultation to get the class rules for both DF65 and DF95 up to date in a manner that included input from all member nations.

The new class rules are now online and are effective from January 1st 2024. There is also some rationale from the Rules Committee so that you can see the reasoning behind the changes.

Edit-For those that can’t find them the new class rules are under the relevant class heading on the main menu.

Have a great 2024 racing season.

It’s that time of year where we need to remind you about the upcoming AGM which will take place in early 2024. There is a formal notification on the AGM 2024 page. Click here to take a look.

So, just before you get comfy for Christmas and you become full of cheese and wine why don’t you get excited about the 2024 DF Racing UK TT Series. Dates have been published under the Events drop down.

Twelve events to head to this year with notables being a return to West Lancs, a visit to Blithfield which is a new venue for us and a host of our usual stops around the country. Nationals are Gosport for the DF65 and Keighley for the DF95, both great venues.

Before that all kicks off there is a last chance to get your DF95 on the water for a race. Head to Fleetwood on the 28th December for the Twixmas regatta. Take your IOM, stay the night and race that on the 29th December. Pretty sure it’ll be a giggle. Head over to the MYA events page for more details.

It is almost time to post the AGM notice once again, if anyone has anything to say or wants to step up and get involved with the running of the two classes then watch out for the notice which will appear on the 18th December.

We also have some places available for the 2024 DF65 Global regatta in Sweden, If you want to go and haven’t been contacted please get in touch with Mr Tushingham and he should be able to find you a spot. Up until very recently there has been almost no information about the event which has led to a lower initial entry than the organisers had hoped. I’m sure the places will fill up soon enough.

Other than that on behalf of the DF Racing UK team we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We’ll see you at the side of a pond somewhere soon!
