So I arrived a day early and enjoyed a Thursday club sailing day with the EKRSC members on a beautifully prepared lake with no weed at all and some awesome C rig sailing conditions. Unfortunately it looks like we’ll need to tune another rig today as the breeze is looking much lighter for the racing.

Lots of social stuff planned for both nights, Friday night is curry night and Saturday is the event dinner at the event hotel.

Jim has sent some info out via email and there’s plenty of banter going on in the Whatsapp group too, tuning and light hearted racing from around midday today for those that can make it.

First up we have the DF95 Nationals coming up, , currently 50 skippers will line up on the start at Barton’s Point in around 10 days time. If you’re not yet entered and want a spot then you have until the 23rd September to gget yourself sorted.

In other news t there is the upcoming M&S DF95 TT event being held at Eastbourne. If you want to get involved with that one please click here to take a look at the details on the MYA website.

Good luck to all those taking part in these events.

The EKRSC have given some thought to the problem of lunches during the event and have found a solution that should work well. please take a look at the event page and get back to Jim as soon as you can with your choices. Clicky here to take a look.

The organisers of the DF95 Nationals have a couple of updates about the event, including camping availability and some Championship dinner arrangements. Check out the event page by clicking here.

We have had a communication from the organisers of the 2026 DF95 Globals over in South Africa. The have a web page available along with some details of the program for the event. I have put up some details regarding the allocation of places for the event along with the web link. Check out the page here.

There are still a couple of events left for you to up your score in the TT rankings to assist you in getting a GBR invite. Good luck.

Results from the weekend at Fleetwood are available on the Results page along with the up to date TT scores.

Second up a reminder from the venerable Uncle Derek of Fleetwood about the upcoming summer TT event at the club. You can find more details on the Event page

FLEETWOOD MODEL YACHT CLUB

SUMMER DF TT WEEKEND AND NORTHERN DISTRICT CHAMPIONSHIP 12&13 JULY 2025.

In past years, Fleetwood have hosted the last/final DF TT weekends but this year we are hosting a summer one and so we’ll have some daylight.   To celebrate,  in addition to all the usual things you have come to expect from Fleetwood we’re planning a summer sunshine Saturday  evening Barbeque, and Pimms party at the clubhouse, for everyone! All food and accompaniments and Pimms will be provided and included in your entry fee, just bring your drinks.

Entry and payment is through the MYA entry system

We look forward to welcoming you all to Fleetwood in July. 

And finally a note to let you know that the registrations should fire back up in the next day or so as Jen returns from a week away. If you sent a registration request whilst Jen was away then it will no doubt be dealt with in good time.

As we all know its always nice to have a holiday and our registrar Jen is going away for a week or so.

She will not be issuing registrations between 4th June and 12th June. If you apply to register a DF65 or DF95 during that period please do not expect a response until the 13th June.

As I posted the details of everything else on Monday I had an email from EKRSC to let me know that the NoR had been published and the MYA online entry was now open for the DF95 Nationals which is taking place over the weekend of the 27th and 28th September at Bartons Point on Sheppey.

For more details please head to the event page by clicking here.

It’s only been a couple of weeks since I last posted about upcoming events and since then there has been lots going on that we need to let you know about. First up is the result from the latest TT event held at Keighley a week or so ago. The results from each day are posted on the Results 25 page along with updated overall TT scores for the season.

Second is the upcoming TT events, first in line is the Dartmoor TT in June, well worth the trip to the SW and the beauty of Dartmoor and surrounding area. Then in July we have a trip to Fleetwood to look forward to. An iconic model yachting venue where the wind can be stunningly good and the welcome is always great.

Online entry for both events is available through the drop down events menu.

Finally we have the DF95 Nationals in late September. No NoR or online entry just yet but the East Kent RSC, who are organising the event, have had some enquiries about accommodation close to the lake and have negotiated a deal with a local hotel. again, details available through the drop down events menu.

One more event that isn’t an official DF TT is the upcoming Great Orme MYC double header DF event later in May. Lots of interest and entries for this which will be held at the historic West Shore boating lake in Llandudno. Fancy a trip to the North Wales seaside for some radio sailing, head over to the club entry page for more details – Clicky here.

Other than that I hope you are all enjoying the great weather and you are getting out there and enjoying your club sailing whilst the weather holds.
