REMOTE CONTROL SAILING AROUND FRESHWATER BAY
12
MONTHS / 100’S OF RACES / 50+ SAILORS & a whole lot of fun! You may have seen on the weekends a keen and enthusiastic group of sailors rain, hail or shine standing in a line looking very serious with a remote control in hand.
Welcome to the DF65 Remote Control Sailing group! The beauty of these boats is the strict one design class for the DF65 so the yachts performance is totally up to the skipper. Though we still seem to find an excuse of hitting some weed or a jellyfish when our performance is lacking. The boats have been very popular with a big uptake probably due to

the low purchase cost, currently around $260 AU for a complete DF65 boat including all electrics. The group have been sailing for 12 months now with weekly social Sunday racing events of eight races over a 2hr period. We have sailors of all age and skill enjoying the friendly races each week. All are welcome to come along and give it a try before you buy. For
