My ARTR Plastic Yachts

I bought the HydroPro Affinity not long after I started the hobby to learn to sail and do some club racing. It is 650mm long and complies with the DF65 racing regulations. Like the more common DragonForce 65 it was built by Joysway and was introduced as a slightly cheaper model but as it used many parts from the DragonForce I doubt it was very viable and wasn't available for very long. I built it with the B Suit of sails for windier days.A few years later I wanted something a little more competitive (the HydroPro is quite beamy) and so bought a DragonForce 65 which I fitted with the A suit of sails for less windy days - saves having to change sails!

A friend of mine had one, I raced it for him in an RG 65 race mostly DragonForces and found it quite competitive. Not quite as fast to windward but slightly better down wind as bows didn’t tend to dig in as much. Had a top 5 finish in fleet of 12plus
Enjoyed it. These yachts are great as rigs can be changed in a few minutes and have all the adjustments you need to set the boat up to sail well. ▲

Yes, why bother making your own or sourcing from somewhere else when a proven and cost effective solution is readily available.
I'm using their bulb and keel in my Fisherman build. Chris ▲

They both cut through the water nicely.
The DF mast and sails work well with other sailboats too such as the Billings Dragen kit.
