AGM – 2017

Minutes of the 2017 AGM
Membership Secretary Report
Phil Holliday Report

The RG65 concept is for relatively low cost, easily transportable and highly competitive radio sailing boat.

The RG65 is a development class for 65 cm long radio controlled yachts which means that anything not mentioned in the rules is allowed.

The simple rules are designed to encourage people to try new ideas at a modest cost.

The DragonForce 65 and Hydropro Affility offer off-the-shelf models at highly affordable prices while development models are readily available from numerous UK and International builders, making the barriers to owning an RG very low.

Plus points for the class are:

Light weight around 1kg.
Compact enough to fit in a small car fully rigged.
No need for special heavy duty sail servos.

The current trend is for narrow and deep hulls with ballast ratios of 50%+ and a mix of standard and swing rigs.
