Bancroft DragonForce 65 V7 655mm (25.7") Racing Sailboat from Joysway - PNP - BNC1048-002

There are few R/C modeling activities more peaceful than sailing a yacht on a summer’s evening enjoying a gentle, constant breeze on your preferred pond. Likewise, few activities can be more exciting than racing like a captain in the America’s Cup, using a model yacht against similarly-equipped competitors that places your sailing skills to the test!

Bancroft is pleased to offer the world-renown DragonForce 65 sailing yacht, a model perfectly suited to either activity. Manufactured by Joysway Model Co., it’s now available for sale through Motion RC!

Available in both PNP (no transmitter or receiver) and RTR (includes transmitter and receiver) versions, these models arrive highly prefabricated and ready for final assembly and rigging.

V7 improvements include a new, improved sail winch servo and a revised boat stand that allows either vertical or horizontal securement of the model for convenient storage, transport, or maintenance.

With active chapters in eight countries, DF racing has become an economical and enjoyable portal into the sport of RC sailing. Visit www.dfracing.world for information, rules, competition chapters, and events.

Dragonforce 65 purchase.

Posted by peter clarke on 7th Oct 2022

lots of fun rigging her and getting her ready and the first sail yesterday removed any doubt of the wisdom of this purchase. I actually felt like I was on board this perfect little vessel as she tacked about the small lake in a perfect fall breeze. I will upgrade my radio eventually, however, so that I can monitor the battery strength on the boat itself while sailing. That will merely be icing on the cake..thanks for the prompt service and delivery. This is a big thanks from a very happy crew on the West Coast.

Dragonforce 65

Posted by Paul Blackmore on 16th May 2022

Very good product. Exceeded my expectations in every way. Assembly tip. Cut all shorter lengths of rigging line at least 10mm longer than what the manual says. It will make the knot tying so much easier particularly on the shorter pieces of line. Lastly, for the final rigging of the gybe sail, which happens to be the last line to tie into place, follow the letter designations only and match them to the picture provided. The numbering system differs on the last two eyelets from what is shown on the initial parts labeling diagram and the printed instructions which follow. Follow the placement shown in the picture and the letter designations and all will be well. Happy sailing.

Great value - Fun to build & sail

Posted by AndyH on 7th Jul 2021

This quality RC sailboat is significantly cheaper than equivalents on the market. I found it great fun to assemble/build and have been impressed by the range & reliability of the RC components. Hours of fun on the water!

The product arrived in a relatively short period of time and in extremely good condition. I have been most impressed by the quality of the individual components and the overall product now completed and ready for "sea trials". Threading the "Bowsie

Posted by Dan Johnson on 4th Jul 2021

This is a great product and the company providing it has been easy to deal with, and responded rapidly to my order placement. I will buy from them again.

Posted by John simmonds on 28th Dec 2020

Very good quality construction. Took quite a while to put together as instructions very typical Chinese translations. Good value for the money

Posted by Peter King on 17th Aug 2020

Took a little time to set up carefully. Well worth the investment. It sails beautifully.

Posted by rob on 16th Aug 2020

Biggest bang for the $$ I've seen in a long time. Unit is in spectacular condition in a sophisticated packing box, Assembly instructions appear to have been written in non-translated English and are terrific. Parts and finish are excellent and first sailings are fantastic. Why kids waste time playing games with their thumbs when such amazing toys are available is beyond me. Kudos to rchobbiesoutlet for fast service and response to an inquiry also.

Arrived promptly in good shape, It took a while to tie all knots and thread bowsies. After waiting a week for the pond to thaw, everything went well, and second time there were other df65's there. Everthing works well and is a speedy boat

DF65 RC Sailboat

Posted by Andy on 29th Jan 2020

Great value! At under $300 this RC model yacht beats the competition. Build quality is excellent and it comes with everything you need to start rc sailing. I was also impressed with the transmitter-receiver range (at least 100m). There is quite a bit of assembly required but this was fun with the clear instruction manual. What you are left with is a serious model racing yacht with full range of adjustments for sail trimming to suit various wind conditions. Full marks Joysway!

 DESIGN RULES

A one design r/c model racing yacht, the 25.8″ Dragon Force 65 was a modified RG65 Class boat derived from Mark Dick’s narrow hull RG65 ICE design. The Dragon Force features an ABS molded hull, profiled aluminum fin, molded plastic rudder, shroudless rig, carbon mast and booms, ball raced kicker/gooseneck fitting, and watertight construction. Joysway (the manufacturer) provides the Dragon Force as a near complete model requiring only assembly of the standing rigging and deck sail control lines (an A Rig is supplied), installation of keel and rudder, and addition of batteries. Electronics are installed, and a boat stand and radio/transmitter are included.

The Dragon Force 65 is the work of designers Mike Weston, John Tushingham and Mark Dicks who began collaborating with Joysway in 2011 to develop a high performing but inexpensive r/c model racing yacht. Time constraints on the project required the design team to adopt an existing class/design that had already demonstrated serious performance, and to modify the design to make it affordable. The RG65 (a developmental class) “ICE” design was considered the best candidate. To insure close performance sailing and modest cost, restricted design rules would also be required. The result was the one design Dragon Force 65 introduced in 2013. The Dragon Force 65 is already sailed worldwide with large followings around the world.

 The Dragon Force 65 Class Rules require the boat to be raced “as supplied by” the manufacturer with no modifications except those articulated in the rules as “permitted changes.” A+, A, B and C Rigs are permissible (dimensions are provided), as are after market sails. Some substitution of electronic equipment and rigging materials is  allowed as well. A number of the permitted changes improve the integrity (reliability) of the sailboat, and were added as the design team improved the manufactured product (Dragon Force 65 Version 6 is now on the market). Work on improving the Dragon Force is ongoing, and additional allowable modifications are published as “Hints & Tips”. Text of these is available at the UK Dragon Force 65 web site. An excellent illustrated version of the “ Hints & Tips ” is provided by Abersoch Boatyards in the UK.
