So, we’ve done that now and I’ve even managed to write a report which may or may not be factually correct in places but it gives you a great idea of how the weekend played out. We also have the updated TT overall results for the 2024 season.

So, we’ve done that. Great second day with a lunchtime course reset giving much better visuals for the skippers.

Craig carried on where he left off and won the day and the event.

A frustrating day for many skippers, soft breeze with big shifts and holes and a typically Southport direction meant that the PRO had to change the course several times during the day. Good effort all round and we’ve retired to the bar now. More of the same tomorrow.

With the DF95 Nationals at West Lancs YC only a few days away today is your last chance to get yourself involved. You’ve got until 2100 this evening to get your entry in for the event. We are currently up to 47 entries and whilst unlikely it would be nice to hit 50. Weather looks good, wind looks pretty fair as well, what’s not to like!

For full details head over to the MYA online entry before 2100.

So, a week after the event I have added the results and overall scores to the Results 24 page. The Fleetwood weekend sounds very much like a game of two halves, super windy Saturday and not enough on Sunday. Uncle Derek hadn’t set the dial quite right for the two days but it sounds like everyone had fun which is where its at. Check out the scores by clicking here.

That was technically the end of the 2024 TT season, however there is still the DF95 Nationals to run which will take place at West Lancs YC over the weekend of the 9th and 10th November. There is still plenty of time to enter the event should you wish to do so. The entry list currently stands at 37 as I write. There is always a warm welcome at the club and the facilities are second to none with a warm clubhouse and rigging area. Well worth the trip. For full details please click here.

Morning folks, if you are new to either of the DF classes here in the UK and your are looking to register your boat with us to get a sail number then please be aware that Jen, our hard working registrar is having a holiday. Don’t panic, we’ve organised a stand in, Jim our Chair, and he will be getting stuck in to keeping up to date with the registration requests as they come in. There may be a short delay in your registration being completed so bear with us,

Have a great adventure Jen!

Always sad to report the loss of a skipper, however this time I’m saddened to report the passing of Glen, the RC Yachts right hand man. Glen was usually your first point of contact when you called the business and he became a very knowledgeable chap about DF products. He was only 37 and leaves behind a young family who will miss him immensely.

Rest easy Glen.

Afternoon folks, apologies for the radio silence, had a bit on lately. Anyhow, some events news for you. After a summer break we are heading towards the last of our scheduled DF Racing UK TT events to be held at Fleetwood MYPBC over the weekend of the 12th and 13th October. Full details can be found by clicking here.

A month or two back we had to take the decision to cancel the DF95 Nationals that were scheduled to be held at Keighley which was sad news as the entry was looking good. We have since been able to reschedule the event to take place at West Lancs YC over the weekend of the 9th and 10th November 2024, which is great news. Full details can be found by clicking here.

In other news, our Chairman Jim has been out and about and has found a new club. “I went to visit a new RC club, part of NSSC, at their inland water, Piddinghoe a few weeks ago. They sail DF95’s at the moment and have 9 members. It looks like a great water. I wish them luck with the club and maybe we’ll get to sail there in the future”. Welcome to the DF fleet!

Other than that, all seems well in the world of the UK DF Racing classes and we’ll see you pondside soon.

It is with regret that the 2024 UK DF95 Nationals, due to take place in a couple of weeks, have had to be cancelled. A situation has developed and the Keighley club feel uncomfortable about running the event.

The matter is now with the MYA who are in full support of the decision and will take steps to deal with the situation.

The MYA announcement is available to read by clicking here.

We have a September gap in our UK DF TT series which would fit in nicely if you fancied a trip over to France for a few days towards the end of September for the French DF95 Nationals. It’s a three day event and you can find all the details by clicking here.
