DragonForce 65 V8 RTR – with Futaba T6K Radio System 

At Rooster, we see this as a fun crossover collaboration. For small boat sailors who enjoy being on the water, the DragonForce 65 offers a simple and accessible way to get involved in the DF65 and DF95 racing circuits across the UK — whether at club level or local events. It’s competitive, sociable and easy to get started. 

Overview 

The DragonForce 65 V8 is a compact, high-performance radio-controlled racing yacht, supplied ready-to-run with a premium Futaba T6K radio system installed. 

It delivers genuine racing performance in a smaller, more portable package, making it ideal for sailors looking for quick, regular time on the water without the logistics of a full-size boat. 

Everything comes in the box, with key components pre-installed. With a straightforward build, you can be sailing within a couple of hours. 

Why We Like It 

  • A highly accessible entry into radio sailing and class racing  
  • Compact and easy to transport and store  
  • Strong UK and global racing scene  
  • Simple setup with meaningful tuning potential  

Setup & Build 

Assembly takes approximately 2–3 hours using clear instructions developed by designer John Tushingham. 

  • Servos are pre-installed in the hull  
  • Keel, ballast and rudder slot into position  
  • Carbon “A” rig supplied part-built  
  • Minimal rigging – no shrouds or spreaders  

Just add batteries and you’re ready to sail. 

Radio System – Futaba T6K 

Supplied and installed as part of the package, offering reliability and flexibility: 

  • 30 model memory  
  • Full telemetry (including onboard battery monitoring)  
  • Channel reverse  
  • End point adjustment (rudder and winch travel)  
  • Channel mixing and advanced setup features  

Battery Setup Note: 
As the receiver is installed in the servo tray (for improved protection), we recommend fitting a USB rechargeable battery pack beside the fin box. This will require a short extension lead and Velcro to secure in place. 

Performance 

Developed specifically for racing, the DragonForce 65 offers impressive performance for its size: 

  • 11-point tuning system to refine sail shape and balance  
  • Carbon mast for reduced rig complexity  
  • Balanced performance across a wide wind range  
  • Supported by a global fleet of over 40,000 DF65 and DF95 sailors  

Additional rigs and sails are available separately, allowing you to sail competitively in varying conditions.

  • Beam: 116.5 mm

Batteries 

Batteries are not included. 

We recommend USB rechargeable battery packs, installed alongside the fin box using an extension lead and Velcro for a secure fit. 

Important Information 

The onboard electronics (servos, switch, wiring and batteries) are not waterproof. Care must be taken to keep the hull dry, as water damage is not covered under warranty.

Suction cups aren’t the best
Color: Black+Smiley Face
The suction cups don’t hold and my smiley sponge isn’t snug on the post so it sometimes falls off.

Sticks and stays in place!!
Color: Black+Smiley Face
Love love loveeee this! Took me a while to find one that actually sticks and stays in place. I've had mine for a few months now. Looks just like the photos & comes with the suction cups and an adhesive strip if you want a firmer hold. The suction cups work just fine. Would recommend 👍🏾😁

Meets My Expectation
Color: Pine, Color: Pine
Meets my expectation. I ordered these to put on my living room wall. When I opened the box they were neatly wrapped and packaged. Super easy to put together and install. I love the rod bracket that mounts onto the wall making it easy to slide the rods into the holes on the back of the shelf. Very sturdy and holds my little decors and look nice on the wall.
