The DragonFlite 95 is a Restricted One Design boat that is meant to compete within a strict set of rules to ensure a true test of a skipper's ability to tune their boat and race it well. Additionally, this 950mm boat is of high quality for a modest price. The DF95 is sold ready to race which includes transmitter and receiver, just add AA batteries. For those already in the hobby, a boat without transmitter and receiver can be purchased. The DF95 comes with a carbon fiber keel, Mylar sails, and a one piece carbon mast, all cutting edge components. It can be on the water in a few hours and assembled by a person with no experience building boats.
This 65 cm boat is a well established worldwide class, which is capable of handling winds up to 30 Knots with multiple rigs to make your radio sailing experience fun and challenging!
Lightweight / Most boats weigh about 1 Kg
Portable / Can fit fully rigged in a small car
Economical / Smaller servos , parts and sails keep costs reasonable
Durable / Multiple rigs allow for these boats to handle nearly any wind
Fast / High Aspect sails, Hi tech rigs and unlimited boat designs allow RG65s to push open the performance envelope
Worldwide Class
RG65 USA is a voting member of the RG65 International Class Association and we sail by the same rules worldwide! Sailors from many different countries enjoy sailing the RG65 Class, offering many different approaches to boat design, venues, and information
Developmental Class
There are hundreds of RG65 designs available to build or buy... the only limit is your imagination! The RG65 is the perfect class whether you like to develop new designs, build your own boat, or just sail fast! The economical 65 cm size of the RG65 wont break your boat budget. Smaller Servos, Sails, and hulls equal easy entry for new skippers! RG65s are about Half the size of Marbleheads, and 65% of IOMs .
The versatile International One Metre (IOM) is one of the most popular class in the radio sailing world, and many USA sailors enjoy regular travel for competition. Others prefer local sailing, and local fleets are the class backbone. USA's annual Nationals began in 1998. The class formed in the late 1980s, specifying three (3) one-design rigs with the hull/foils controlled by box rule. This format encourages evolution and created our highly refined fleet of today, where creative skippers continue to test new ideas. We race in the lightest breeze up to very strong winds and waves, where we need our smallest rig up to 35-40 knots. The hull weight limit allows amateur designers/builders to carefully create competitive IOMs and test their mettle against the best commercially available. Besides our plethora of purchase options, we have a recent global boom in home-built woody hulls now too. While the most skilled skippers usually win the regatta, no single design dominates our World Championships on even years.

The Art of Racing Sailboats – From Dry Land
On the shore of Lake Rooty in Innsbrook
Like most of the members of the Richmond Model Yacht Club, Rob Suydam earned his sea legs on sailboats much larger than the one he is focusing on now.
Suydam and three other members of the club have gathered on a breezy Saturday morning on the shoreline behind the Snagajob offices in the Innsbrook Corporate Center. It’s early in the year, before regatta season starts, and they’re testing their boats and their sailing abilities.
“On a big boat you don’t realize how much the wind changes,” Suydam says. “It changes velocity and direction.”
The RG65 sailboat he is controlling from the shoreline is 65 centimeters long – a shade over 2 feet – and that small size makes it highly sensitive to wind shifts.
“So we’re constantly making changes, we’re tacking,” Suydam says, his attention suddenly honed in on a wind-aided maneuver the sailboats have just made to pick up speed and head toward a marker buoy.
“Awesome! That’s a killer tack right there; that’s a great tack!” Suydam says. “[The wind] shifted hard right, and the shift that occurred right there that made all of us make that mark, a big-boat sailor would have never noticed it.”
Suydam, a state employee, is commodore of the Richmond Model Yacht Club, a small but active group of sailing enthusiasts in metro Richmond. They hold their races at Lake Rooty in Innsbrook, where they periodically have to dodge cyclists and joggers on the shoreline trails.
Last year the club had about 15 members – all men, Suydam says. “We’re still looking for our first female.”
“I would love to attract more of the big-boat sailors,” he says. “Many of the big-boat sailors don’t understand that this is real sailing. And it’s competitive sailing.”
THE SAILORS’ ROOTS
“Big boats” is where Suydam and friends developed their love of sailing. Of the four men at Lake Rooty on this particular Saturday, all said they had grown up sailing.
Ric Bergstrom, a State Farm agent, is new to the club, but not to sailing.
“I heard about the club for a while, and followed them, and went out to one of the races last fall, and somebody said, ‘Here, sail my boat.’ And that’s all it took. Next thing you know, I’m like, ‘All right, I’m going to buy one.’”
Bergstrom grew up in Annapolis, Maryland. “All my friends played lacrosse,” he says. “I sailed.”
“When I was a kid I raced a lot,” Bergstrom says. “I did thousands of hours of racing when I was between, like, 12 and 25. I didn’t race much after that.”
Bergstrom’s father, who worked in Annapolis for the federal government, had started sailing as a boy in Minneapolis. He passed on his love of sailing to his son.
“My dad and I built a couple of 3-foot-long radio-controlled boats – I’ve still got a pair of them – when I was 12 or 13,“ Bergstrom says.
KIT-BUILT OR CUSTOM-MADE
There’s an age-worn adage that says a sailboat is nothing but a hole in the water to pour your money into.
Perhaps true with the big boats, but not much at the radio-controlled level, Suydam says.
“This is a custom-built RG65,” he says, displaying a sleek sailboat that he won’t sail on this occasion. “And the three RGs that we are sailing (are) a kit-built boat, called the DragonForce. You can go online and buy it for $200, radio and all.”
The RG65 weighs about 2 pounds. Club members also sail a larger model, the Seawind, which weighs about 6 pounds. At the top levels of model-yacht competition is the International One Meter (IOM), a meter-long boat that Suydam says attracts the best sailors and best boat designers.
Some people choose to buy kit-built boats; others want a more hands-on experience.
For Scott Duff, a local dentist, this will be his third year in the club.
“It really satisfies a niche for me,” Duff says. “I’m a tinkerer, a builder. Some of the guys like to build, some just like sailing.
“I used to build model airplanes,” he says. “The problem with them is they go up, and they come down … sometimes in a million pieces.”
“I still race catamarans,” Duff says, “but you’ve got to travel to do that. The reason I like this is I can come out here for three hours and get the same competitive stuff that I get with those and not have to set up and take down.”
Suydam says a day of racing big boats might involve one or two races. In two or three hours of sailing the radio-controlled boats, RMYC members might get in eight to 10 races – and not have to leave the Richmond area.
Plus, he says, “It’s a great way to spend the afternoon with a bunch of guys. There’s a lot of camaraderie.”

Remote Control Sailing
Posted February 5, 2018
The art of remote control sailing
If I had a dollar for every time I brought up remote control sailing to someone who was not familiar with it, and got the response “Oh, my kids would love that,” I could buy myself a J/70. A Melges 32 might be in order if I added the income generated from the question, “Is there a motor in that thing?!”
Make no mistake about it, RC sailing is quite challenging, and while children may enjoy it, the sport is very much for adults. I suspect most sailors would be surprised to know that racers from all over the U.S. and North America have over the years flown themselves and their boats to Richmond, VA, to race in regional and national championship regattas hosted by the Richmond Model Yacht Club (RMYC).
RC sailing has become popular over the years for a variety of reasons, but mainly because it is a lot of fun and quite satisfying . A typical RC regatta will complete 20-30 races over the course of a championship weekend. Local race days often complete 10 or more races in just an afternoon. Possibly best of all though, you get to be the skipper. No need to beg for crew, or pay slip fees or boat insurance. Just pack the boat up in the car, and off you go.
Remote control sailing is structured much like big boat sailing.
Racing is categorized in one-design classes, as well as development classes that promote experimentation in both hull design and componentry. The sport also provides for a variety of sailor needs in that one can buy boats that come ready to sail, or they can fulfill a childhood dream of designing and building their own race boat.
For those of us that have been sailing all our lives, we know an unfortunate reality: It’s gotten crazy expensive. Interest in the sport is often left to a picture on the wall, sailing news over the internet, and the occasional live stream. Rest assured; there are options. Sailors in this sport of RC sailing are very welcoming and can help newcomers learn to sail remotely. Often boats and their radio equipment can be purchased for as little as $200, with a variety of options in the $400 range.
Remote control sailing and sportsmanship
Because RC sailors are racing shoulder to shoulder as they stand along the shore line, great relationships can often develop . Uffa Fox, English naval architect and sailor once said, “The art of racing is not in winning, but winning so that the rest of the fleet are pleased you have won, and the only way they can be pleased is for you to have shown better helmsmanship than they, and also perfect sportsmanship.” Find your local RC sailing club, meet that person Uffa Fox describes, and make him or her your best friend.

RG65 Model Sailboat sailing and racing
DragonForce RG65 No Quarter Maiden Voyage
After parting with the RG65 No Quarter I’ve finally assembled the DragonForce No Quarter and went for a maiden sail at the river. Hopefully when the Richmond Model Yacht Club resumes racing in Richmond I might be able to take it out for a regatta there.
New DragonForce 65
This Christmas I added a new boat to the fleet – after selling the custom RG65 I had last year – the DragonForce 65 can be sailed one design as a DragonForce or in the RG65 class.
I’ve got some work to do to paint it in No Quarter colors and get it rigged.
2018 RMYC RG65 Series #2
The RG65 season is underway at the Richmond Model Yacht Club on Lake Rooty and we had nice weather for the 2nd race day of the series. Unfortunately, No Quarter had radio problems and became uncontrollable after the first race. I still got to borrow a couple boats to sail – thanks Rob & Marc.
I’ve wanted to get a slightly bigger boat that would enable me to sail it in the choppier water in Deltaville. I haven’t decided what I want yet, but a new member came who was interested in getting into the RG65 class and I ended up selling him my boat on the spot. The RG65 was fun to sail and great for Lake Rooty and I’ll sure I’ll find another boat in the coming months.
2017 RMYC RG65 Series #1
We had a nice afternoon for the first RG65 race at Richmond Model Yacht Club on Lake Rooty. I was a bit rusty and overpowered in the puffs and managed a 5th overall out of 9 boats in 8 races. It was fun getting back on the water and seeing what happens when I actually got the boat pointed the right way.
2016 NVMYC Spring Series
No Quarter RG65 sailed its first regatta at the Northern Virginia Model Yacht Club Spring Series on Lake Anne in Reston VA. It was early and the wind was light and fluky, so 9 boats made for 7 fun and interesting racing. I had some moments of brilliance as well as some complete misses. Took me a couple races to dial the boat in a bit. There were a couple boats that felt a smidge faster, but there was still a lot of bad sailing that moved me back. With more experience I’ll get a little better going into the first race day at the Richmond Model Yacht Club next weekend.
RG65 No Quarter
Added another boat to the fleet. This No Quarter is an RG65 model yacht. It’s about 25″ long and 60″ tall from the bottom of the keel to the top of the mast. I got a used boat from a member of the Richmond Model Yacht Club . After fitting a radio to it and getting a few other things readied, I got to join 6 others today for some practice. It was a bit light and we only sailed about 30 minutes before we got rained out. Thanks Rob S for helping get me going and I’m looking forward to some more racing this spring.

Our Founding
In August of 1932, twelve men gathered in a tin shed on the Richmond Inner Harbor and founded the Richmond Yacht Club. Their goal was to build a clubhouse where they could gather, share tall tales and store their skiffs. The Club began by sponsoring the Snipe Class and becoming one of the original six members of the Yacht Racing Association (YRA). By the end of 1933, the volunteers had leased land and built the first RYC clubhouse at the foot of South Second Street. During the Great Depression, the Club moved to two other locations in the inner harbor. Even with the amazing level of volunteerism required to rebuild the clubhouse, RYC members made time to race, cruise their boats and enjoy family nights, dinners and 50-cent dances with free wine and music.
In the Fall of 1940, RYC members were looking for a boat that would do double duty as a dinghy to get to their moored boats and as a sailing skiff. They found plans for an 8-foot dinghy, the Sabot. They thought it had promise but needed some redesign: a centerboard replaced the leeboards, a rudder replaced the steering oar, and a stick mast replaced the folding mast. With the approval of the Sabot publisher, this boat was now the El Toro, so named because âof all the bull thrown aroundâ during the redesign, and a shovel became the El Toro logo because a bull was too difficult to draw.
Then there was World War II. In 1942 the Maritime Commission took over the clubhouse and harbor to build a shipyard, and RYC was forced out. Membership meetings moved to the basement of the Richmond City Hall. The goal of the Club was to have a clubhouse for the service men to come home to, so after the war, the members purchased a portable building and moved it to another temporary location in the parking lot of Boats Inc., where many members already stored their boats.
From its very beginning, RYC published a monthly newsletter. Professionally published with photos and ads, The Flying Jib was printed throughout the war years, serving as important communication to members scattered far and wide. After the war, publishing costs skyrocketed and funds were tight, so The Flying Jib was last issued in December 1947. Its successor soon appeared in June 1948. As member Art Bullfinch noted, âWe are going to do what any smart sailor does when the going gets too tough: Shorten Sail! The FLYING JIB goes back into the sail bag . . . and we will carry on with the STORM JIB.â
Inclusiveness
It is important to note that until the early 50âs, the members of RYC were only men, not women, not families. In the 50âs RYC established official membership classes that included both women and junior/student sailors. It wasnât until 1999 that spouses became members. Membership was extended to domestic partners in 2011.
Permanent Home
In the early 60âs short-term renting was too uncertain, so the membership again searched for a site for a permanent home for RYC. They settled on the Clubâs current location in Brickyard Cove. RYC completed the purchase of its own property and financed and built a new harbor and clubhouse while continuing to cruise, maintain a great junior program and host a record number of events. It was the determination, spirit and volunteerism of the members that forged through the bureaucracy and the hard work required to build the clubhouse.
Signature Regattas
The Big Daddy and Great Pumpkin Regattas are staples of RYCâs racing season. Both originated in the 80âs. The Big Daddy began as an IOR regatta opening the racing season; its name honored âBig Daddyâ Bob Klein, twice commodore of the club. The first Great Pumpkin was held a few years later to close the main racing season. It combined a late Fall one-design regatta with the traditional Beachcombers party, creating a very party-oriented end-of-the-year event. Both events continue today with a variety of local, national and sometimes world championship sandwiched in between â and the Small Boat Midwinters bridging the winter season. RYC has hosted many major events, many featuring small boats.
- 2000 â Olympic Trials for the Finn class; the winner represented the United States in the 2000 Olympics in Atlanta (Savannah).
- 2001 â Byte North Americans, for which US Sailing awarded RYC the St. Petersburg Trophy for outstanding regatta management for the year.
- 2004 â Etchells Worlds
- 2012 â Laser Masters North Americans
- 2014 â International Canoe Worlds
- 2018 â International 14 Worlds
- 2011 and 2019 â US Junior Womenâs Single-Handed Championship (Leiter Cup)
Additionally, RYC has hosted many national championship regattas.
Renovations
In the early 2000âs, it became clear that the harbor needed attention. The Club undertook a redesign and complete rebuild of its harbor piers and berths, completed in 2005. Several years later, members noted the clubhouse was showing its age, some of the structures were sagging and major systems were problematic. At the same time, property adjacent to both sides of the club became available for purchase. The land purchases and clubhouse renovation (which required a 6 month move to âthe tentâ in the harbor) were completed in 2016. Members rallied to find creative ways to develop financing for all three projects, digging deep into their pockets to provide the Club with personal loans to cover the spending.
Richmond Yacht Club has a long tradition of a hard-working, fun loving membership -- a membership that bands together to find the funds and time to create a place to sail, cruise, learn, host fabulous regattas and events, and above all, have FUN!
