Welcome to the 2015 Dragon Force National Championship Home Page!
The Trinity River Yacht Club is looking forward to hosting the Inaugural Dragon Force National Championship at our excellent venue at Corinthian Sailing Club on White Rock Lake in the heart of Dallas, TX Oct 31 & Nov 1 2015!
This will be the 6th radio sailing class National Championship regatta hosted by the TRYC in its 2 decade history. We are excited and honored to host this event for the fastest growing class in the USA and worldwide!!
As skippers who have attended our TRYC events over the years have come to found out , please come prepared for a wide range of weather and wind conditions that can be found in Dallas in Oct/ Nov! The temps are usually very temperate this time of year but this is Texas after all. Storms can blow through quickly and winds can get very high! In our 2 days of racing in the RG65 White Rock Cup March of 2013, and also at highly successful Texas Dragon Force Series races some of our heats were run in winds exceeding 25 mph and waves of 3 feet!!!
Fortunately the Dragon Force is well suited to these conditions and the skippers that had multiple rigs found themselves well rewarded on the race course!
The venue is one of the best for radio sailing in the Southwest USA. White Rock Lake is an open, fresh water lake, weed free and constant level. All the facilities are within 100 yards of the race course including bathrooms, electricity, a covered clubhouse , and even refrigerators for your favorite beverage of choice!
All Dragon Force boats entered in the regatta must comply with the one design / restricted class rules listed at : http://dragonforcerg65.files.wordpress.com/2013/08/dragon-force-restricted-class-rules-v1-2.pdf
This race will also be scored as a part of the highly successful Texas Dragon Force series !
