Results are not available as of this entry. The DF95 class really needs to improve its process of posting regatta results somewhere consistently. Facebook (Farce-book) should not be the (official or unofficial) means of this. I don’t mean to nag, but I think this issue happens too often. Let’s get our shit together folks.

Hosted by Metedeconk River YC in Brick NJ, this was a really great event and a great time. Amazing club, amazing members, amazing food, great bar, beautiful weather and RC Lasers are VERY cool boats to sail. Thank you all!

Thank you Kiwi for taking these photos. Fun day of practice today in Michigan with 5 IOM’s in attendance at Cabela’s in Dundee, MI. Breeze was 6-12 mph. Temperature was 60-70 degrees. A really nice day. The new K2 was OUTSTANDING. Today was its first sail. Wow. Really magnificent. Well done SailboatRC!
The end of the Britpop as a competitive IOM in my opinion. Still a very good boat, with an Amazing run of success over a very long period, just not good enough, anymore, to race at the highest levels of the IOM class. The IOM class is, still and at the end of the day,… Read more: Zero Britpop’s in the Top 10 at the 2023 IOM European Championships
Finding these results is EXTREMELY difficult considering the importance of this event in RC Sailing. This post is mainly a bookmark for me on this blog. It is amazing how people are allowing corrupt, censorship and propaganda ridden social media sites to be the repository of their information.

-in short a fairly complete shitshow of many, many fouls and 3-5 general recalls every start, and a 10-15 minute delay after almost every A and B fleet race to sort out the inevitable 2-3 formal, unresolved protests. The organizers and RC are doing a fantastic job of managing the protests and running the races,… Read more: DF95 Globals Summary (After two long days)
This was my first time sailing the RC Soling. Fun boat. A little quirky, but good fun. Huge thanks to Mike and Peter Feldman for offering to loan me their spare boat and to Mike for fixing it up for the event. It was perfect. http://www.suncoastmodelsailingclub.net/Regattas.html
Regatta Starts in one hour. Here we go! I have about 5 hours of practice racing under my belt. I feel fast! Lots of tuning help. I love the K2! Very comprehensive and ultra high quality. Faster in light air than has been given credit for… Wind forecast today is very light this am for… Read more: 2022 IOM Worlds Update #2
Lots of items to fix and repair on this boat since its delivery. 1) no lower lowers installed.2) mainsheet broke with field repair and lost its adjustability.3) no counterweight in jib boom. 4) no gravity protection for sheets over sail winch. 5) extend mast base rail6) extend many servo wires
Heading to Newport RI for IOM regionals. All new winch, sheets, and spent an hour + tuning my rig to the mm. hope it helps. Nice to do this in my basement. At least it looks fast! thx Steve Landaue for the online help desk (a good hour or two of his time!).

A collection of photos from my first IOM regatta! I sailed Calvin’s beautiful orange V9 in Sarasota Florida’s annual event. Thank you Calvin! It’s a great boat! Fond memories!
I had a bunch of fun and knocked some RC sailing rust off my brain. This was a hyper-competitive event. I used a borrowed boat (V9) which was great! The amount of fouls and “incidental contact” on the starting line was extreme and I did not fare well in that area. I had less than… Read more: IOM “Gator 🐊 Roundup” Regatta Sarasota FL Jan 22-23
