Results for rescheduled TT1 @ Two Islands

By RG65 NCA

On August 29, 2024

In Uncategorized

The pop-up RG65 event at Two Islands on 24th August has been designated as a valid replacement for the original TT1 which had to be cancelled earlier in the year.

Ten races were completed in light winds and very wet conditions, before the light breeze faded.  Racing was competitive and close with several boats often overlapped at the finish.

The results were as follows:

TT Rounds 8 & 9 date changes

On July 30, 2024

The NoR will be released shortly and the MYA Calendar and Entry details will be released at the same time.

TT Series Overall after Woodspring

On July 9, 2024

The TT Series Overall after 3 rounds and  the rescheduled TT#5 at Woodspring are as follows:

RG65 TT#5 @ Woodspring

New Location for TT5

On June 24, 2024

Woodspring have kindly agreed to host TT5 in place of the one which had to be cancelled at Bournville on the same day.  Unfortunately there will not currently be a TT6.

For more details such as the NoR and to enter, please head over to the relevant MYA Event page:

Overall Standings after TT Rounds 3 & 4

On June 3, 2024

John Tushingham heads the overall TT series after the first two 2024 events at Keighley.

RG65 TT Round 4 @ Keighley – 2/6/24

It was a bright and sunny morning with a decent swing rig breeze that greeted the eleven sailors for Round 4 of this years TT.  However, by the time racing started under the watchful eye of RO Damian Ackroyd, the breeze had started to build and most boats were sporting their full sized conventional rigs.  During the day, the breeze built (needing a change down) and remained from a mostly Westerly direction, giving a course where the windward mark was at the limits for good visbility and boats that were sailing away from the skippers.  There was plenty to be gained (and for some lost) in the gusts and shifts that existed across the course and throughout the day.

However, the one consistent aspect of the day was Graham Elliott sailing an Electronica, which managed to win 15 of the 16 races, with only Peter Baldwin (Uno)  spoiling his clean sweep by winning race 1, although that was by the slimmest of margins having had a good lead throughout the race.

There was a good tussle all day between Peter and John Tushingham (Sliver) to see who might get the second place and by the end, John took the spot with a slightly more consistent set of results over the day.  Special mention should go to Grant Rowe, who only started out Radio Sailing recently and had never sailed an RG65 before this weekend and finished a very creditable fourth in his borrowed Scurry.

This was a great days sailing at a relaxed pace and minimal walking with the course situated in front of the launching area and with some seating for a few as an added bonus!

The next two rounds of this years TT are scheduled to be held at Borunville on 6th and 7th July.

TT Round 3 – Sat 1/6/24

On June 1, 2024

In Events & Results

Here are the results for Saturday.

Some close racing across the fleet with everyone in B rigs, all in conventional except for #45 who used a swing rig to good effect in the later races.  A day for an Ivy 1 and 2.

Upcoming TT Events

On May 23, 2024

Entry is via the MYA website using the following links:

Entry oficially closes on Thursday 30th June at 18:00

With all the rain we have had in the last couple of days, the lake should be full, it doesn’t suffer from weed and there is usually some wind being perched up on the moors.

The events after this are TT 5&6 at Bournville on the 6th & 7th July.

Great entry-level boat

Posted by Shawn Prigmore on 14th Nov 2016

Very happy with this boat so far, it sails well right out of the box. Very easy assembly, all you have to do is rig the mast, booms, and sails. Instructions can be a little vague, but there are numerous guides on the net to help. The radio leaves ssomthing to be desired, but you can't expect a spektrum system at this price. Highly recommended first boat.

Sorry but this item is currently unavailable. Please check back at a later stage.

3D Printed Radio Yachts

How To Design And 3D Print Rigid Lightweight Yachts To Go Racing

Building a 3D Printed RG65

A method for building a 3d printed rg65.

Author: Allen Roberts (Sydney, Australia)

Images: Allen Roberts, Malcolm Cody, Selwyn Holland

Yacht design: Bill Hagerup

These RG65s are designed to use the running gear from a Dragon Force 65. Makes construction faster and much easier.

Allen recently built a 3d printed radio yacht and I asked him to elaborate on his techniques to achieve that. Allen is a master craftsmen and “go to man” for a lot of Sydney guys when they have specialist things to be done with gadgets and machines. He owns an engineering and manufacturing workshop in Sydney.

Allen kindly put together a summary of his journey through constructing these new style of yachts.

How he did it:

1.  To cut a hole for the entry of the ‘finbox/mast socket’:

Place the cockpit frame over the hole just aft of the recess to the blade screw/mast well. Cut inside the frame by 1mm . A useful tool for this job is a Dremmel with a 0.5mm cut off blade or a soldering iron.              

2.  Glue/ epoxy, the frame to the deck using clamps all around to ensure it is watertight. For practice,  melt the inside edges using the soldering iron . 

3.   The finbox assembly may need sanding slightly to be a snug fit against the inside of the boat. Use a brush to place the glue at the points of contact inside the hull. When solid or dry, use a soldering iron to melt the hull and create an opening for the blade/keel, mast and blade support screw (be careful with the heat, try on a sample first). Blend the edges of the holes together to the finbox creating a water sealed joint.

4.   Drill the hole for the rudder using the deck mounted rudder shaft assembly as a guide, then glue it in place.  

5.   Attach the stern to the hull  using the soldering iron , blend the edges , waterproof them!

6.   Glue 3 pieces of scrap plastic to the underside of the foredeck for support screws to enter from the top. One at the fairlead location, just in front of the mast, One 15mm forward of the jib pivot point and one at the bow .

7.   Before attaching the foredeck support rail to the hull, drill a hole 1.2mm horizontally  across the rail at the pivot point. this will be the forestay attachment point. Make a loop through the hole and tie off. Now drill a 2mm hole vertically at the fairlead point for the jib sheet to enter from underneath, just behind the foredeck. 

8.   Attach the foredeck rail to the deck with glue and screws at the 3 places described.

9.   Servo Tray: Avoid interaction of the rudder controls and the swinging of the winch arm.

10.    The winch servo is not protected from overload, so if obstructed it will ‘burn out’. Keep the winch servo aft in the tray. The swing of the arm must be positioned so the end of the swing is near the front of the  boat.This will give a fine adjustment at close hauled.

11. Attach the winch cord at a point along the winch arm so that a distance of travel on deck is about 80mm. This distance is adjusted by attaching the cord closer or further from the center of the arm. You need to create a 2:1 ratio, so thread the sheet around the rudder post and attach it back at the servo tray. A small pulley will help for an efficient motion of the sheeting.

12.    Cut a space for the rudder servo . You will need to design the best method of control for the rudder, 1 solid rod or 2 cables ! 

13.   The battery can be installed in the foredeck with a ‘tray’ through the deck frame provided. Or on a tray glued to the side of the fin box ,through the cockpit, but be sure to ‘restrain’ it from obstructing the winch arm. 

Good luck and I hope this helps.
