Welcome to Radio Controlled Racing

Beginning the first week after launch, until the ice moves in, KYC runs DragonForce 65 fleet races on Mondays (Start: 1800hrs) and IOM fleet races Wednesday evenings (Start: 1800hrs). Both fleets invite all KYC members to come by and give it a try.

See you at the start line!

Sailing Instructions

There will be 8 heats (races) in each race night, with a minimum of 3 boats and 3 races to constitute a race night. Racing will be scored in accordance with RRS Appendix A4, Low Point Scoring System and governed by the ISAF 2017-2020 Racing Rules of Sailing (RRS), including Appendix E; Fleet determined Sailing Instructions (SI), Bylaws of the Kingston Yacht Club, the Rules of the International One Metre Class and DragonForce 65 Class as warranted.
