The Joysway DragonForce 65, or DF65 for short, is by far currently the best selling RC yacht in the world (along with its younger brother the DF95)!
The reasons are as simple as the concept and design itself, which was developed in collaboration between Joysway and top RC performance yacht designers .
This partnership has resulted in the DF65 which was first released in February 2013, an affordable competition class RC yacht that is so affordable it can enjoyed by serious competitors and non serious hobbyists alike.
Sleek lines and competition-developed sails make the DragonForce 65 race, perform and compete in all wind conditions!
The boat is based on the ICE design with an ABS hull, profiled aluminium fin and molded plastic rudder. The A rig that comes with the boat is a full sized, fractional low aspect rig with carbon spars and a ball raced gooseneck.
The DragonForce 65 is a recognized competition RC yacht that can be sailed in the restricted DF65 Class which is recognized by the American Model Yachting Association, with well defined rules and RC associations that are located worldwide.
With DF65 clubs all over North America, chances are there is a group near you sailing one! The perfect boat to start you own group sailing as well.
Having a Joysway DragonForce means that, should you like to, you can usually find a location local to you to learn sailing tips and how to configure sails or rigging, compare (and hone) your sailing skills against others, participate in local, state, national or even international competitions.
