The Perfectly Affordable Dragon Force RG65

By Juana Gamble


The Dragon Force yacht recently entered the radio controlled sailing market. The RG65 was created with specific motives in mind. The designers at RC Yachts wanted to provide people who showed interests of joining the sport with an alternative sailing machine. The idea was to provide a competition boat that would be affordable for sailing hobbyists who may not continuously keep up with the sport.

The yacht was designed using the popular Mark Dicks' "Ice" boat as a basis, which is considered a huge success in competitive sailing. The design includes a keel made out of aluminum that perfectly fits into the stiff hull. Also, with a standard deck layout, all the sheeting points come pre-fitted during production. All electronics fit right below the deck, including the 2.4GHz radio, rudder, and winch servo.

All rigs on the Dragon Force yachts are built with careful consideration of the RC boat structural regulations. The main rig of the yacht is accompanied by two other rigs to aid in better control and smoother sailing. These smaller rigs are unique to the Dragon Force yachts, making this yacht's design comparable to the competitors.

A fully built yacht weighs about 1,200g. It is small and light, and performs exceptionally well in fast breezes due to the unique rig and hull. Additionally, it's very easy to put together. Using the descriptive manual, you will only need about 2 or 3 hours to put the whole boat together.

These type of yachts navigate efficiently due to the option of more turning controls and light weight. It's great for new RC boat racers as well because it's quite affordable compared to other yachts. The Dragon Force is a simple RC boat priced quite low compared to its competition. However, because it is basic, you will need to make a few upgrades on it if you want to race competitively.

Dragon Force critics have pointed out that the materials used to make this yacht is cheap and unsatisfactory. Instead of a carbon keeled hub, it uses an aluminum keel. Also, the hub material is weaker and of lower quality, often times causing it to become thin at the bow section.

The Dragon Force is the perfect boat for new sailors though, and the motivation behind purchasing this yacht outweighs the criticism of its performance and make. When you buy this boat, you don't expect it to be a top notch radio sailing yacht that will help you win competitions. This is a boat for newbies who have a passion for RC sailing and want to gain more experience.

As in any sport, enjoying yourself is far comparable to merely winning competitions. Your passion for sailing can grow when it is just a hobby. Sooner than later, a new racer won't have any problem purchasing a better yacht that is 10x more expensive than this yacht when the hobby becomes more serious.

The Dragon Force yacht prioritizes customer loyalty. Whenever problems arise, you can be sure to easily reach very helpful customer service. Additionally, all spare parts are available to you if ever you need to replace them on your yacht.
