Newport Sailors Dive into the DragonFlite 95!

Since 2015, LeMahieu has sold 6,000 of these $500 ­battery-powered yachts, lately to household sailing names like Paul Cayard, Ed Baird, Bruce Farr, Taylor Canfield and, yes, Brad Read’s brother, Ken, who is now a member of the guild.
“It’s fun to race sailboats, and that’s what these capture,” LeMahieu adds. “We’re appealing to the hardcore racing guys because the good RC sailing guys are usually accomplished bigger-boat ­sailors.
