Radio sailing is an accessible and rewarding sport that combines sailing knowledge, tactical racing and precise boat control.
Choosing Your First Boat
For most new sailors, the DF65 and DF95 classes provide an excellent starting point. Both are affordable one-design classes with active fleets, straightforward setup and plenty of experienced club members ready to help.
Good to know
You do not need to buy a boat before visiting. Contact the club and arrange to attend a sailing day to see the classes in action.
What You Will Need
- A class-compliant radio yacht
- A reliable transmitter and charged batteries
- A simple tool kit and spare rigging items
- Comfortable outdoor clothing and sun protection
Your First Sailing Day
Arrive early enough to meet the race team, prepare your boat and complete a radio check. Club members can help with launch settings, sail trim and the basic right-of-way rules before racing begins.
