So, whilst I’ve been ill, having an operation and recovering I’ve missed giving you a nudge to get your entries in for the upcoming TT event at Keighley. It starts in a week or just over so if you want to go you should probably crack on and get yourself an entry in. Details are under the Events heading in the menu.

The next TT after that sees us heading to the SW corner of the country and the beautiful Dartmoor. There is plenty of time to get yourself entered into this one but don’t forget. Again, details are under the Events heading.

It seems that those who turned up at Lincoln RSC for the DF65 Nationals had a stellar weekend of racing. Lots of rig changes which were sometimes quite important, great breeze and some cracking social made for a proper Lincoln weekend. Results and report available on the Results 25 page.

Next TT event is at Keighley over the weekend of the 3 – 4 May.

We are just under a week away from the entry deadline for the 2025 DF65 Nationals which are being held at Lincoln RSC over the weekend of the 29th and 30th March. The numbers are a little on the light side with the absence of some top names which offers a great opportunity for someone else to put their name on the Championship trophy.

The racing will be as great as ever at Scotland Farm and the club members are constantly making the facility better each time we visit. The water is as blue as it gets inland and the lake allows for really great courses to be set in a variety of wind directions. Parking is plentiful and easy to access too.

On the social side there is plenty to do, from a debrief at The Railway to an evening meal at one of the other local pubs. Accommodation is close by and caters for all budgets. A Saturday evening meal is planned at The Railway which is included in the entry fee.

I can’t see a reason not to enter, can you? No doubt the Lincoln club will organise the weather, all you need to do is get your entry in before 2100 on Wednesday 26th March.

We have a report available on the Results 25 page. It details the weekend at Blithfield SC and has a couple of photos. Thanks Messrs Reid and Woodhead. Click here to take a look.

A lovely weekend of sailing at Blithfield SC with some good breeze even if it wasn’t always from the right direction. No report yet but the event results are up along with the overall series scores on the Results 25 page.

Two upcoming events that require your attention.

First up, this coming weekend 8 – 9 March at Blithfield SC we have rounds 3 and 4 of the DF Racing UK TT series. Currently entry is a little light with mid twenties for each day. Breeze looks good for both days so head over to the event page and get your entry in before the closing date of Wednesday 5th March. Well located in the middle of the country, easy to get to, great facilities I can’t see a reason not to go!

Next up we have the DF65 Nationals at Lincoln RSC which are being held over the weekend of the 29 – 30 March. Still plenty of time to get an entry in for this one. The racing is sure to be cracking and the club will host the event with their usual enthusiasm. There is always tea and coffee along with bacon butties too. A social dinner will be held at The Railway on Saturday evening. Again, well located with easy access from the A1, there is no reason not to get an entry in. Head over to the event page and do just that.

We’ve had a message from the guys at Rotherham MYC with an update about their club water.

Rotherham Model Yacht Club

We are very pleased to announce that after over two years of work by the Canal Trust, our reservoir has finally been refilled.

A lot of work will be required to get everything ship shape again, but we have made a start and hope to be back there sailing very soon.

The pictures show the first work party gang and our clubhouse.

It’s time for some results, first up are the results from Rounds 1 & 2 of the DF Racing UK 2025 TT series. Two winners over two days, one with a score that will be hard to beat as the season goes on. Head over to the Results 25 page and take a look at the overall scores so far. Apologies for the delay, it’s been a hectic week one way or another.

Second up we concluded our DF Racing 2025 AGM yesterday evening and have collated the results which are available on the AGM 2025 page.

Next up we are at Blithfield SC over the weekend of the 8th and 9th March, its another great venue to take a look at and it is pretty well located in the centre of the country. Entry details on the Events page.

Today is the last chance to vote on the 2025 AGM matters. Get your vote in before 1700 today, 15th February 2025. Head to the AGM 2025 page to cast your vote.

DF95 at West Lancs was a day of B rig and shifty breeze. Ideal conditions for Ken Binks to win nearly all of the days races. Well done Ken.
