Two DragonFlite 95 radio controlled sailboats side by side, their class name visible along the hulls

One design, still being chosen

Boats

A one design fleet only works if everyone buys the same boat. Three classes are on the table, and nothing is settled.

The classes

DragonFlite 95

The likely choice. It arrives nearly finished, fits in a back seat, and has fleets all over New England.

Hull length
950 mm

International One Metre

The other contender. A development class with a long history, a thicker rulebook and a bigger bill.

Hull length
1000 mm

East Coast 12 Meter

The most history on this water: the old club ran the EC12 Nationals here in 2024. Big, heavy and scale looking, off a 1962 Twelve Metre design.

Hull length
1500 mm, about 59 inches

Whatever you already own

Bring it. Part of starting a club is finding out what is already in local garages.

Hull length
Any

Do not buy anything yet

Wait until the club picks a class. Buying the wrong one means sailing alone.

Already own a boat? Say so when you sign up or on WhatsApp. What is already in local garages will help decide.
