FREE – Come and Try Radio Yacht Sailing
If you have never sailed before or do not have a yacht, we welcome you and your family to our Come and Try Radio Yacht Sailing days. You can use our club-owned yachts for up to four non-consecutive sailing days. This allows you and your family to try radio yacht sailing, at no cost, while you decide if it is a sport for you or your family.
What yachts do we sail?
The club sails the Joysway Dragon Force yachts, both the DF65 class (Hull is 65cm long) and the DF95 class (Hull is 95cm long).
Where do we sail?
We sail on the lake at Damian Leeding Memorial Park, Michael Shelly Way, Oxenford, QLD.
After 12:00 pm on a day we are sailing, you will see a group of cars parked on the northern edge of the lake west of the coffee shop. Just walk or drive to these cars, introduce yourself, and ask to speak to the DF65 Fleet Captain.
When do we sail?
We sail from 12:00 pm – 3:00 pm every Wednesday, weather and ground conditions permitting. Some of our members arrive at the coffee shop next to the lake about 11:00 am for a coffee and a chat. You are welcome to join them and ask any questions you may have about this fun sport.
Who can sail radio-controlled yachts?
Anyone can sail radio controlled yachts, children, parents, and grandparents.
We welcome people who have mobility issues, provided they bring their own mobility assistance device.

Where can I buy a DF65 or DF95 yacht?
After you have taken advantage of our Come and Try Radio Yacht Sailing program (where you can use one of our yachts for free over four non-consecutive sailing days) and have decided radio yacht sailing is for you or your family, you have options about getting a yacht of your own.
