WHAT WE DO - RACING
We gather weekly to race our boats. Yes, every week – year round – in Maine. We typically race in picturesque Camden Harbor on Sundays in the winter, spring, and fall, and in a beautiful former quarry in Rockland on Wednesdays in the summer. Occasionally we race in other venues in the mid-coast area.
We currently race two classes of model sailboat:
​
​
​
​​
DragonForce 65

The DragonForce 65 is the fastest growing class of RC sailboats in the U.S. The boat has earned this distinction by being a great one-design sailing boat while being the least expensive ready-to-sail boat on the market. At around $350 for a boat with radio and receiver and about 6-10 hours of assembly and you're on the water!
​
​An added benefit of the boat is the well-supplied and dedicated national distributor that provides excellent access to boats, parts and accessories allowed by the class rules.

DragonFlite 95
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. AThe DF95 is sold ready to race for about $550, which includes transmitter and receiver. The DF95 comes with a carbon fiber keel, Mylar sails, and a one-piece carbon mast, all cutting-edge components. It can be assembled by a person with no experience building boats in a day or two.
​
Its sailings characteristics are such that it is easily sailed by a beginner but offers exceptional performance for the seasoned skipper. Going upwind it sails as if on rails and downwind, because of its lightweight and nice waterline, is quick and agile.

Our members have many other classes of boats and vintage yachts, both sail and powered. Please let us know what boats you have. If we achieve critical mass around another class, it probably won’t be long before we are racing those too!
