DF65V8 New Version Changes Details
The DF International Class Association (DFICA) and the licenced builder, Joysway Hobby International Ltd, are pleased to announce the release of new versions of both DF65 and DF95 classes.
The changes to apply from 1st February 2025, are the result of feedback from DFICA members and in consultation with the Joysway engineering team to continue to improve the quality and reliability of the boats.
The fundamental aim of the Class and its Rules is to ensure that all boats are raced on a level performance basis. The Restricted Class Rules means that no changes are allowed to the boats unless specifically allowed and documented in the Rules, or an interpretation has been issued by the DFICA Rules Committee to cover any manufacturing changes.
The changes will not affect performance of the boats but do improve the build quality for greater enjoyment by owners.

NOTE:All new parts will be available to retro fit on previous versions.
1) Digital Winch – A new digital winch will replace the current grey DF Sail winch. Testing has shown a more consistent performance and end point accuracy.
The new winch fits the existing DF winch drums and the winch speed is the same as the outgoing model.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Dragon Force 65 V8 is designed for experienced RC sailors seeking authentic racing performance rather than beginners. It features competitive racing specifications and precision engineering, so prior RC boating experience is recommended.
You will need to purchase 4 AA alkaline batteries for the transmitter and 4 AA alkaline batteries for the receiver—these are not included in the box.
The RTR version includes a fully painted hull, mylar racing sails, carbon fibre mast and boom, aluminium keel, digital servos, the Flysky i6 transmitter and receiver, and a display stand. You only need to add batteries and water to start sailing.
The boat measures 650mm in length with a 1338mm overall height (including mast). The boxed boat is 91.2 x 30.4 x 11.6 cm, which should fit in most cars, though you may need to remove or fold the mast for transport.
This V8 version features a new 2025 Digital DF Racing sailwinch servo for more accurate sail control compared to previous models, improving performance during racing conditions.
