Welcome to Radio Sailing

If you've ever thought about trying radio sailing, you've come to the right place.

Our club is one of Western Australia's newest radio sailing clubs and is home to both DragonForce 65 (DF65) and DragonFlight 95 (DF95) radio-controlled yachts. We enjoy a fantastic sailing venue and a friendly atmosphere where newcomers are always welcome.

Whether you have years of sailing experience or have never touched a sailboat before, you'll find plenty of support from our members. Everyone started somewhere, and we pride ourselves on helping new sailors learn at their own pace.

Come and Have a Look

The best way to get started is simply to visit us at the lake.

We sail every:

  • Wednesday afternoon
  • Saturday afternoon

Members usually gather from 12:30 pm with racing commencing at 1:00 pm.

Feel free to introduce yourself, ask questions and see what radio sailing is all about. There is no obligation and no pressure to join immediately.

Choosing Your First Boat

Most of our members sail either a DragonForce 65 (DF65) or DragonFlight 95 (DF95).

These yachts are popular throughout Australia and around the world because they are affordable, reliable and capable of excellent performance. They are supplied as complete kits and are relatively straightforward to assemble and maintain.

If you are considering purchasing a boat, we strongly recommend speaking with one of our members first. We can help you select the right equipment and may even know of quality second-hand boats that are available.

What You'll Need

Getting started is surprisingly simple.

For most newcomers, all you need is:

  • A DF65 or DF95 yacht
  • A radio transmitter
  • Batteries
  • A willingness to learn and have fun

Many sailors gradually upgrade equipment as they gain experience, but there is no need to spend large amounts of money when first starting out.

Learning to Sail

Don't worry if you've never raced or sailed before.

Our members are always happy to help with:

  • Boat setup
  • Basic sailing techniques
  • Racing procedures
  • Sail trimming
  • General advice and troubleshooting

You'll quickly discover that radio sailing is easy to learn, challenging to master, and a great way to spend an afternoon with like-minded people.
