WHAT WE
SAIL
DF 95 - Dragon Flite 95
​
DF95 is our newest class (2018) and has already gained popularity. The yachts are excellent for racing.
Their popularity is driven by the class being a small one-design (95cm), where skippers compete purely on skill, and cost (about £250 without radio).
This is the ideal first yacht for anyone looking to join the LMYC.
