Vital Tips On The 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 foundation of the Dragon Force design is based on the "Ice" boat created by Mark Dicks. The "Ice" boat is a huge success in the market, but is aimed at serious racers who compete or use frequently. The keel of this alternative is aluminum and fits perfectly in its hull, the standard deck includes pre-fitted sheeting, and all the electronics are located right under the deck. The electronics include the 2.4GHz radio, the rudder, and the winch servo.

The rig is built in consideration of all the RC yacht class rules. Two smaller rigs are also placed to aid in the smooth performance and control. This is an interesting addition which isolates the design and functionality of the rigs from other competitors.

Taking into consideration of the likely market demographic for this yacht, the boat comes with an easy manual and only needs about 2 to 3 hours of box-to-water installation. Weighing at around 1200g, the boat is expected to perform better in slightly fast breezes and dismally in light breezes. This is aided by the design of the hull and the rig.

The Dragon Force yacht is uniquely more efficient than its competitors. It has a very light design, and the top notch turning controls help racers navigate it a lot better than other RC boats. Even more, the boat is priced quite low, which is perfect for novices who aren't exactly sure of whether yacht racing fits their interests. This is a very basic boat, so if you want to competitively race it frequently, you will need to make a few enhancements on it.

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.

If your occasional hobby turns into a serious competitive sport, you will not mind paying 10x more for a high quality RC yacht. However, when you are just enjoying yourself, this yacht should fit you perfectly. Start with this boat and make your changes when your passion starts to grow.

Spare parts and great customer support have been offered for this model. These features aim to insure the yacht's long-lasting standing in the yacht market. It is also a vital measure to keep customer loyalty to the product when problems arise.
