Things that are happening…..

There will be some DF65’s on the water tomorrow and Sunday!
So the RYA Dinghy show is happening this weekend, 2nd & 3rd March at Ally Pally in London Village. The DF Racing UK crew will be in attendance helping out RC Yachts to run the “have a go” pool where you can try your hand at DF65 racing, it promises to be a bit of a giggle. The MYA also have a stand at the show to promote Radio Sailing in general to the masses as well as having a guest slot on the CA stage on Saturday afternoon.
We’ve also had details of the next couple of rounds of the 2019 TT series which are being held at Birkenhead RSPBC in late April. Full details , including how to enter are available by clicking here.
There is also still time to enter the DF95 European Regatta, entries are still coming in and you could be radio sailing on the shores of Lake Garda in just over a month’s time….go on you know you want to. Clicky here for full details.
We are up to 33 entries for the DF95 Nationals at Eastbourne which is promising indeed. If you fancy having a go just click here for full details
Web Updates
Hi folks, hope you’re all well, it’s raining and dark outside and there isn’t a whole heap on the tellybox so I’ve started to run a couple of updates on the website. Most of it remains the same, however I have updated the DF95 Boom Drawing page with the new drawings which Buzz has produced for us….cheers Buzz. I have left the original drawings on the page for reference purposes.
I have also done a quick update on the Clubs page which now lists 190ish clubs. It will be further updated with a clickable website link where available and also MYA affiliation status where applicable.
Aaaand finally I have pressed a button on the forum which accepted the backlog of pending members. Apologies to those of you who have waited a while for this, it got forgotten.
Chipstead Invicta Trophy
We’ve had the NoR poster on our events page for a couple of weeks now but the event is getting near and we’ve been asked to give it another push. Please check out the details by visiting the events page.
