Waiting for delivery of my DF 95 Really enjoy onboard video! When ICEOUT comes to Indiana, USA hope one of our club members can do same @ our Regattas.

You get sorted then with a DF95 ? Not been such a good year with all the lockdown etc. We have a club only sailing ( Twixmas IOM's Sun/ DF95 Mon) event this weekend.

[@stephaniekent8483]

great music too :)

[@flyingtonyw]

Forgot I'd done that one, calming then gets a bit hypnotic. Were you in one of the sailing clubs there. Great bunch of guys, and we're sailing again this Sunday. I also thought the DF 95 had been out longer than 2 yrs, but the Laser even though probably inferior is my favourite for ease of use.

[@stephaniekent8483]

yes I was with the birkenhead model yacht and power club in the 60s... now i sail here in NZ in Hamilton and before that Auckland :)

Sailed the Lasers at Southport on Sunday, a couple of BirkenHead club guys were there. www.yachtsandyachting.com/news/202731/West-Lancs-RC-Laser-and-DF65-Winter-Series-day-5

oh wow so cool x

So which one is the most fun to sail? the DF 95 Looks side by side with the Laser, I have a DF RG65 and it's sails good, I would like to get a bigger boat and i sail in salt water.

[@flyingtonyw]

From what I've heard, the DF 95 is great, fast and prevents the cheque book sailor winning all the time. This appeals to me and will probably be my next purchase as our club now has probably 8 Skippers owning one, which means we may be scheduling a couple of club dates next year. I have only the stock Df65 with no extra sails so don't sail it too much, but I like it's handy size. The Laser I love as it's so easy to change rigs during races. I compete in most of the local races and a couple around the UK each year.

nice hope someone makes a rc boat simulator soon or in the future :)

Sure if you search, there must be something out there already. I've done the FPV camera onboard sailing, everything comes at you quite fast and would be best if the camera rotates to keep an eye out from behind when racing. ( Probably not allowed under racing rules, advantages etc....
