                             Extract from "DF Racing UK Update"
"Last but not least, we have some great news about a very prestigious London club who has embraced the DF95 class.  Hampton Court have grown their fleet to 12 DF95's in a very short space of time and I for one am looking forward to attending a regatta there in the not too distant future."

Skippers hard at work assembling their newly acquired DF95's on Tuesday 5th June and we had a very good boat building session . Everyone chipped in and completed various jobs on the boats brought to the club. With the exception of one boat the remainder of the fleet seems ready for action bar the application of a few sail numbers. We will be sending the draft amended race programme out shortly and suggesting some dates for the inaugural regatta. The new boat stand is now in use - see below

Model yachting has taken place on the Rick Pond since 1897. Hampton Court Model Yacht Club is one of the largest and most active clubs in the UK. The Club has its own clubhouse and car park situated near to the Rick Pond. We host events at Local, District and National Levels and sail mainly radio controlled yachts but there is also a keen group sailing vane and vintage boats. We sail 6 different classes - the International One Metre (IOM), the Marblehead (M), the 10 Rater (10R) the A Class (A), the Micro Magic (MM) and the Dragon Flite 95 (DF95). The Club has an enthusiastic membership and promotes friendly and competitive racing which takes place up to 3 times per week throughout the year. You can find us at the Rick Pond from about 10am on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
